blank cassette in the tape compartment. An automatic recording volume level control (ALC) circuit will
automatically control the volume level of your recordings to prevent distortion. You may change the settings

the tape.

cassette Rewind ( ) Button
until the tape rewinds to the

Dynamic Bass Boost System (DBBS)
This special circuit provides bass response, especially at lower volume levels
where the bass has a tendency to disappear. Set the DBBS button to On
to increase the bass. Set the DBBS button to Off for normal bass response.
Note: If you have the DBBS circuit On at high volume and you are listening to
music that contains very strong bass, you may experience some distortion. If
this occurs, reduce the volume or switch the DBBS button Off .

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
When a new recording is make, any program
material previously recorded is automatically
erased and only the new recording remains. To
safeguard valuable recordings from being erased
accidentally, the cassette and the deck are
equipped with a spacial device.
On the back of the cassette there is an erase
prevention tab on each side. To prevent
accidental erasing, break out these tabs wish
a screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to
be protected break out the tab on the left side
with the side desired facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has been
broken, place a place of adhesive tape over that
area.
NOTE:
When a tab is broken out, the record
button cannot be depressed.
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30),30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side.
Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use
only high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if
the problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.
If there is any stack in the tape in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place
a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate toward the outside of the cassette until all stack is taken up.
