Dolby noise reduction is extremely effective in reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit incorporates
Dolby B/C type noise reduction systems. The conventional Dolby B-type noise reduction provides approximately 8 dB
improvement in S/N ratio and C-type adds additional improvement over the B-type. The noise reduction is applied to both
recording and playback; be sure that the same noise reduction is used on recording and playback. Pressing DOLBY NR
switches between Dolby B, C and OFF.
Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

supply.
When not planning to use this unit for long periods
of time (i.e., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power
plug from the wall outlet.
•
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit
is not defeated.
•

assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage
the head’s mirror-smooth finish, but also change the
magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a
deterioration in reproduction quality.
Although the record/playback head used in this unit
is a high quality head with outstanding reproduction
characteristics, it can become dirty through the use of
old tapes or from dust accumulation over time.
This can have a serious effect on reproduction
quality.
Clean the heads regularly with one of the commonly
available head cleaners or with an appropriate
cleaning solution.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No t e s a b o u t ca sse t t e t a p e s
Cassette tapes
• 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.
• Since the unit automatically detects the tape type, you can use any type of tape.
For side A
Protecting your recordings
• Tapes have removable tabs, which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the
tab on the top left protects the side facing you from
erasure. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase
or record again.
For side B
Taking up slack in the tape
• Before loading a tape on the tray, tighten the slack
portion of tape with a pen or pencil.
Maintenance
• Dirty heads, capstans, and pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a commercially
available cleaning tape.
