5 CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND CAPSTANS The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty quite easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the high frequency components of a recording will not be reproduced and the stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration of the playback sound.
6 TIPS ON CASSETTE TAPES Do not use tapes longer than 90 minutes in length Because over the C-90 tapes are very thin, they can easily jam in the pinch rollers and capstan, and they often are subject to other problems such as irregular winding. ÷ Leader tape (which cannot be recorded on) is pro- vided at the beginning of a cassette tape.
7 CONNECTIONS CONNECTING THE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK CORDS Connect the TAPE jacks of your amplifier to the LINE jacks of the cassette deck. Be sure to connect the REC (INPUT) jacks of the deck to the recording (out- put) jacks of the amplifier, and the PLAY (OUTPUT) jacks of the deck to the play (input) jacks of the am- plifier.

13 MUSIC SEARCH (Skipping forward or backward to playback a desired selection) The music search function detects blanks (longer than 4 seconds) between selections, advances the tape in the forward or reverse direction to find the beginning of the desired selection and auto matically starts playback.
14 RECORDING (Deck II only) RECORDING 1. Load a tape for recording in Deck II. 2. Set the DOLBY NR switch. 3. Set the REV MODE switch. ÷ To record on one side only, set the switch to the O position. To record on both sides, set the switch to the [ position.

NOTES: ÷ The tape in DECK lI will be copied in the same type of DOLBY NR (B/C) as DECK l’s tape, regard- less of its own setting.
