Notes:

1. The system is deactivated during dubbing operation with the result that the dubbed version features the same noise reduction as the original.

2. Noise from TV may interfere with dubbed sound if high-speed dubbing is executed near a TV set. To prevent this. install the system more apart from the TV set.

3. If the original tape was recorded at a high level. the sound quality may be degraded if high-speed dubbing is used. In such a case. use normal-speed dubbing.

Recording of CD playback (CeRS and X.FADE)

The CCRS (Computer-controlled CD Recording) system, in combination with the CD editing function, makes the following convenient recording functions, These recordings can also be recorded by X.FADE (Cross-fade) recording. (Recording is possible only on deck S.)

Recording in Track mode: The tracks on the CD are recorded from the first track in order. When the end of one tape side is reached during recording, tape is reversed and recording is continued on the other side of tape.

Recording in Program mode: The programmed CD tracks are recorded in the programmed order. When the end of one tape side is reached during recording, the track which should end in the middle is erased, and the recording on the other side of tape is started from that track.

Recording by CD editing function: When the recording time of the tape is specified first, the order of the CD tracks is edited so that no track is interrupted at the ends of tape. This allows an effective use of the tape recording space without wasting it. The maximum number of tracks that can be edited is 20.

X.FADE (Cross-fade) recording: The beginning and end of each track is faded In/out to create a music tape without interruption between tunes.

Also refer to section "Operation of CD player".

Ordinary fade-out and fade-in

The fade-in refers to the gradual volume increase from a small level to the normal level used in beginning of music. and fade-in refers to the gradual decrease from the normal level to a small level used in ending of music.

Tape transport

The X.FADE recording applies fade-out of a tune and fade-in of the next tune simultaneously so that tunes are recorded continuously without interruption.

This makes it possible to create a tape library containing successively changing music like in a disco.

Similarly to CCRS recording, the X.FADE recording can be started automatically by simply pressing the X.FADE key.

1. When the CCRS key is pressed during CD playback, the playback is stopped and CCRS setting operation starts.

2. The CCRS searches the peak level on a CD in a limited period of about 90 seconds. Therefore. it could happen that the optimum level cannot be adjusted. though it is a very rare case.

3. If the length of a track on the CD is extremely long such as with a classical music. the CCRS cannot be used because the music cannot be fit in one side of tape.

4. If a tune beginning and ending with fade-in and fade-out is recorded by X.FADE recording. spaces between recorded tunes may become very long.

5. When a CD containing continuous recording of several tracks. such as a live recording, is recorded on tape. unexpected spaces may sometimes be left automatically between tunes.

Bass, Trable

Compensation for the audio characteristics of listening room

The listening room may contain several objects. Some of them reflect sound and some absorb sound. thus the sound reaching your ears is considerably affected by these objects.

In such cases. the graphic equalizer can be used to adjust the frequency response of the room for a flat response from low to high frequencies.

,. Low frequencies are absorbed by beds. chairs. etc .

• High frequencies are absorbed by curtains. screens. etc .

• The room structure can cause the low frequencies to be unclear, or the sound level to increase or decrease depending on the frequency.

Adjustment of sound to your individual taste

When the reproduced sound contains several musical instruments and voices. the graphic equalizer allows you to enhance or attenuate the sound of specific instruments or voices.

Mid-high range (2.4 kHz)

This range is related to stimulus and metaiic sound. When this range is well compensated. vivid sound can be obtained.

High range (6 kHz)

This frequency range is related to the hardness of the sound. When this control is moved up. strings or brass instruments. such as flutes or piccolos. are emphasized. When the control is moved down. the sound will be more soothing,

Super high range (15 kHz)

This frequency range is related to the details of the music. When this control is moved up. super high frequency instruments. such as triangles or cymbalis. are emphasized. resultinq in wide sound and echoes.

Sound equalization

Super bass range (60 Hz)

When this control is moved up, the bass instrument (double bass. bass drums. or pipe organ. etc.) sound is increased.

When the super bass sound is boo my. move this control down.

Bass range (150 Hz)

Usually. the listening room resonance frequency is in this range. To eliminate bass resonance. move this control down.

Mid-bass range (400 Hz)

This range is the basis of music. Whether the sound is rich or not. depends on this range. When the playback sound is not so good, move this control up.

Mid range (1 kHz)

When this control is moved up or down. the baritone or soprano voice is emphasized/de-emphasized. This range is related to the "presence" of music.

The tray will not open. • Deck B is in the record mode. • It will not open during recording. Press the
open/close key after the recording has
completed. Notes:

1. With some tapes. a squeaky noise is produced when the tape is stopped automatically. This is due to the tape protection function. and not a malfunction.

2. Do not use 1 20·minute tapes. for the tape is too thin and gets easily tangled.

3. This system is microprocessor-controlled. so malfunction may occur due to external noise or interference noise. In such a case. unplug the power cord. plug it and turn power ON again.

4. Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful against contact cleaners containing oil. for they may deform the plastic components.
