CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. 1. This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To ensure proper operation for the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully. NOTE: Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. [. . . ] After turning on the power to each component, select the station on your tuner which you want to record and turn down the volume on your amplifier/receiver. This will have no effect on the recording signal level. Remember to set the proper recording level. Set the timer to the desired recording start and stop times. It is advisable to set the timer to begin recording slightly before and end slightly after the actual broadcast receiving time to leave some room for later editing. Set the TIMER switch to the REC position. TIMER REC OFF PLAY Timer playback 1. Turn on the amplifier/receiver and adjust the volume and tone controls. Set the input mode selector of your amplifier/receiver to the cassette deck function mode. Set the timer to the time you wish to start and stop playback. Set the TIMER switch to the PLAY position. TIMER REC OFF PLAY 5. At the preset time, the timer will turn power on to the amplifier/receiver and cassette deck and begin playback. It will shut power off at the preset time as well ending playback. Note: Whenever the timer recording/playback is not intended, make sure to set the TIMER switch to OFF position to prevent the unnecessary recording/playback. ÷ If the TIMER switch is set to REC position and the power is supplied (plugging in the power cord or automatically supplying the power after power failure, etc. ), the deck automatically enters Rec mode and the contents of the cassette tape inserted in the deck will be erased. 4. The timer will send power to the amplifier/receiver, tuner and deck at the preset time, turning all the components on and initiating the recording. 12 CASSETTE TAPES CASSETTE TAPES There are many different types of cassette tapes available. However, they all conform to standard specifications so any brand may be used with the deck. ÷ Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation Cassette tapes are available in four basic types depending on their formulation, or type of magnetic material and manufacturing process. These four types are commonly known as Normal (Type I/NORM), Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>), Ferrichrome (Type III/ FeCr), and Metal (Type IV/METAL), and they each require specific tape deck adjustments for optimum performance. * YAMAHA does not recommend the use of 120 minute length cassettes since the extreme thinness of the tape makes them susceptible to mechanical and recording problems. PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS All cassette tapes are provided with erasure protection holes to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents. There is a small tab covering the hole on each side of the cassette, and it should be broken off after recording the tape. Without this tab covering the hole, it is impossible to record onto that tape.
