The SYNCHRO indicator lights when the SYNCHRO button of the remote controller is pressed.  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. AUTO TAPE SELECTOR DETECTION SLOTS The deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level and equalization according to the tape formulation — all you have to do is to load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector does the rest. The Auto Tape Selector determines which type of tape is loaded by sensing detector slots in the top of the tape shell. Each tape formulation has its own characteristic hole markings standardized by the tape industry. ÷ Early model Metal (Type IV/Metal) tape formulation cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape Selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type tapes recorded on another deck will be played back with the deck at the Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) settings. YAMAHA does not recommend using this kind of tape. ÷ The deck does not have the required setting for Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr) tape, since this tape formulation is not widely used. Should you use a Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back at the Normal (Type I/NORM) settings, which will result in an unnatural high frequency emphasis. This effect may be compensated for somewhat by adjusting the PLAY TRIM control and/or the tone controls of your amplifier/receiver during playback. TYPE II Detector slots 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. Thus, you can safely protect a recording for as long as you wish without fear of accidental erasure. Should you wish to use a cassette tape protected in this way for recording, simply covering the hole with adhesive tape will permit erasure and re-recording. ÷ When using Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) or Metal (Type IV/METAL) tapes, make sure you do not cover the hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation. TAKING UP SLACK IN THE TAPE As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage, remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes into the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil, pen or similar object into one of the spools and gently winding it until all the slack is removed. You do not have to wind it too tightly. Be careful not to touch the tape part itself. It is very delicate and touching it may damage the tape and its recorded contents. TYPE IV Detector slots STORING CASSETTES After putting a cassette tape back into its case, store it in a location away from exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, high temperatures, and magnetic fields (away from television sets, speakers, etc.). High temperatures and humidity will damage the tape itself, while exposure to magnetic fields may cause a loss of recorded material. Avoid touching the tape surface with your fingers, since dirt or finger oil will contaminate the deck’s heads. 17  MAINTENANCE CLEANING OF THE TAPE PATH Continued high quality performance of your deck is dependent upon periodic cleaning of the heads, capstan, pinch roller, and all surfaces over which the tape travels. Normal use will cause an accumulation of dirt and dust on the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers. This can lead to poor sound quality, drop outs (intervals with no sound), unsteady tape speed, loss of high frequency response, etc. Thus, clean the heads and all surfaces over which the tape travels with a commercially available cleaning cassette and fluid type cleaner. Heads Capstan Capstan Pinch roller Pinch roller DEMAGNETIZATION After 20-30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will build up on the heads to cause poor high frequency reproduction. At this time you should use a commercially available cassette tape-type head demagnetizer. ÷ When cleaning the tape path or demagnetizing the heads, be sure to follow carefully the instructions of the concerning materials such as cleaning fluid or head demagnetizer.

It lists common operating errors and simple measures which you can take to correct the problem. If it cannot be corrected, or the symptom is not listed, disconnect the deck’s power cord and contact your local YAMAHA dealer or authorized service center for help. Cause Fault Cure Tape doesn’t move in recording or playback. ÷ Power plug is not properly plugged in. ÷ Cassette shell is warped or damaged. ÷ Reinsert plug properly. ÷ Do not play damaged tapes. REC/PAUSE button fails to function. ÷ No cassette tape loaded. ÷ Protective tabs are broken off. ÷ Load a cassette tape. ÷ Change tape or cover protective hole with adhesive tape. Sounds become faint and sometimes inaudible. ÷ Head is dirty. ÷ Head is magnetized. ÷ Tape is damaged or of poor quality. ÷ Clean head. ÷ Demagnetize head using head demagnetizer. ÷ Change to a different tape. Recorded sound is distorted. ÷ Tape is bad (stretched, deformed, etc.). ÷ Cassette shell is warped. ÷ Replace with a fresh tape. ÷ A warped cassette shell cannot be fixed. Replace with another tape and test. ÷ Check input level with signal level meter and use lower rec level when recording. ÷ Recording level is too high. Tape is playing back, but no sound is heard. ÷ Faulty connection between deck and stereo amplifier/receiver. ÷ Check and secure connections. Excessive noise. ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ Head is dirty. Head is magnetized. Worn out or poor quality tape. Connection(s) improperly made. ÷ Affected by external electrical noise. ÷ Tape is wound unevenly. ÷ Clean capstan and pinch roller, or change to better tape. ÷ Rewind tape. Tape stops in the middle of recording or playback. ÷ Slack tape, or tape spillage wound around capstan. ÷ Insert pencil in hole in cassette shell and turn to take up slack. Fails to record. ÷ REC LEVEL control is set to too low. ÷ Protective tabs are broken off. ÷ Adjust REC LEVEL control. ÷ Change tape or cover protective hole with adhesive tape. Search does not operate correctly. ÷ Blank section is too short. ÷ Blank sections must be at least 4 seconds long. ÷ No remedy ÷ No remedy Excessive wow (wavering of the sound). ÷ Dirty capstan, pinch roller, etc., or poor tape. Clean head. Demagnetize head with head demagnetizer. Change to better tape. Check input and output connections and reinsert properly. ÷ Move deck away from electrical appliances (TV, fluorescent light, electric blanket, etc.). ÷ Recorded section has low-level portions. ÷ Conversation, etc. has been recorded. High frequencies in the playback sound are emphasized and unpleasant to listen to, and noise level (hiss) is also high. ÷ Dolby NR-recorded tape is played back in OFF position. ÷ Play back in appropriate Dolby NR position. Playback sound is muffled and high frequencies are inaudible. ÷ Normally-recorded tape is played back in Dolby NR. ÷ Heads are dirty. ÷ Heads are magnetized. ÷ Play back in OFF position. When playing back tapes recorded on other decks, meter deflections are greater (smaller) than when recorded. ÷ Basic levels are different for different cassette decks. ÷ This is not a fault. The remote control transmitter cannot be operated. ÷ The batteries are exhausted. ÷ The remote control transmitter is operated from an incorrect distance or angle. ÷ The remote control sensor is lighted strongly. ÷ Replace batteries. ÷ Operate it from less than 7 meters (about 23 ft.) and 30°. ÷ Place the unit away from the strong light. ÷ Clean heads and carry out demagnetization with head demagnetizer. 19  SPECIFICATIONS Type .....................................
