REMOTE CONTROL
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery coveron the rear of the remote control and inserf
two R6 (size AA) batteries. +
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance of the remote control should be
approximately 5 meters(16 feet). When this distance decreases,
replace the batteries with new ones.
Do not mix different types of batteries, or old batteries with new
ones.
If you are not going to use the unit fora long period of time, remove
the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.
Hints for correct operation
The remote control may not operate correctly when:
the line of sight between the remote control and the unit's remote
sensor is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight.
other remote controls are used nearby (television etc.).
CASSEITE
TAPES
Usable tapes
For playback, use normal (type I), CrO, (type U), and metal (type
IV) tapes.
For recording, use normal (type I) and CrOz (type II) tapes.
The proper bias and equalization to suit the type of tape are
selected automatically.
Tape slack
Take up slack in the tape with a pencil or similar tool before use.
Slack tape may break or jam in the mechanism. +
120-minute or longer tapes
These are extremely thin and easily deformed or damaged. They
are not recommended.
To prevent accidental erasure
Break off the plastic tabs on the cassette tape after recording, with
a screwdriver or other pointed tool. +
@ Side A
@ Tab for side A
To record on the tape again, cover the tab openings with cello-
phane tape. (On CrO, tapes, take care not to cover the CrO, tape
detection slot @.) +
To demagnetize
the heads
The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may
narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. In
this case, demagnetize the heads with a commercially avaliable
demagnetizer.
