Teac A 2300 Service Manual

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TEAC A-SSOOS/A-23OOS have achieved an enviable reputation for quality since their introducA
tion seven years ago. During this period many design improvements and modifications have been
incorporated. However the recent introduction of more versatile, improved tape products called for
extensive modification and redesign in order to provide proper utilization of these tapes. There-
fore. we have produced the new A<3300$XlA~23008X, to provide complete flexibility in selection
of recording rapes and to meet the stringent requirements of these rapes.

The basic design of the A-33OOSX/A-23OOSX is highly similar to that of the A-33OOS/A-23008,
therefore, information in this service manual may be applied to the A~33OOSlA~2300$ also.
