tape quickly. You can even locate a specific point

anywhere on a tape.

a track on the reverse side (when “ ª” lights up), press the

What happens during Multi-AMS operation

When Multi-AMS is operating, “PLAY” appears. And each

time the deck detects a blank space, the indicated number

decreases by one. After locating the beginning of the

specified track, the counter indication appears again and the

deck starts playing the track.

Notes

•The Multi-AMS function may not work correctly if:

— the blank space between tracks is less than 4 seconds

long.

— the signal strength of the left and right channels are

very different.

—there is a passage of low frequencies or very low

volume within a track.

•Since the counter is not a digital clock, it will differ from

the actual elapsed playback or recording time.

•Even if DIRECTION is set to a, the deck stops when the

current side reaches the end during AMS operation.

Advanced Recording Operations

Adjusting Bias and Recording

Level Calibration

Automatically

Since there are many different types of cassettes on the

market, your tape deck automatically sets the

appropriate equalization characteristics and bias

current for each tape type (ATS: Automatic Tape

Selection). However, you can get better recording

results by doing the automatic bias current and the

recording level calibration.

5 Start the actual recording (see page 6).

To cancel the automatic calibration function

Press p.

If “AUTO CAL” flashes continuously

The automatic calibration procedure has been interrupted

by:

— The end of the tape. Turn the cassette over or rewind the

tape to a new position that allows recording of the test

tone.

— Damaged tape or dirty heads. Change the cassette or

clean and demagnetize the heads (see page 11).

Updating the calibration setting

As long as the tape deck stays on, calibration data are

saved and called up each time you insert a cassette of

the same type (I, II or IV). “AUTO CAL” appears in

the display when you insert a cassette to indicate that

calibration data for that tape type exists. However, we

recommend that you repeat the automatic calibraion

procedure each time you insert a new cassette since

cassettes of the same type also vary in their

characteristics. Before recalibrating, be sure to clear the

existing calibration data by pressing AUTO CAL until

“AUTO CAL” disappears from the display. Then start

from Step 2 of the automatic calibration procedure.

Inserting a Blank Space During

Recording (Record Muting)

You can insert a blank space of 4 seconds between each

track. The blank spaces between tracks let you locate

the track easily with the Multi-AMS function (see page

portions on the tape.

Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an

electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel

only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,

unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating

voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power

supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the

nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if

the unit itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time,

be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet.

To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the

plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified

service shop.

On operation

• Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will

not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed,

if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette

has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.

• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.

Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.

On placement

• Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation

to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.

• Do not place the tape deck:

— on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the

ventilation holes on the bottom.

— in a location near heat sources.

— in a place subject to direct sunlight.

— in an inclined position.

— in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On cleaning the tape deck

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not

use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent

such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your

tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on Cassette Tapes

To protect the recording

Break off the record-protect tab for side A or B.

Side A

Tab for side B

Tab for side A

To record on a tape having a broken tab

Cover the record-protect tab hole for side A or B with

adhesive tape.

When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not

to cover the slots that the deck uses to determine the tape

type.

Type II

Type IV

Detector slots

On tapes longer than 90 minutes

We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90

minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback.

They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

On handling cassettes

• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty,

avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.

• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such

as speakers and amplifiers; it may cause tape distortion or

erase the recordings.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold

temperature or moisture.

Cleaning the heads and tape path

Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after

every 10 hours of operation to guard against:

• a decrease in sound level

• excessive wow or flutter

• sound dropout

• incomplete erasure

To ensure better recording, we recommend that you

clean the heads and tape path before every recording.

1 Press § EJECT to open the cassette holder.

2 With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the

pinch roller, and the capstan with a cotton swab

slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially

available cleaning fluid for tape decks.

Do not insert a cassette until the cleaned areas are

completely dry.

Demagnetizing the heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a

hissing sound or loss of high frequencies, demagnetize

the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer

for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the

demagnetizer.

Glossary

ATS

Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets

the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current

according to the tape type inserted in the deck.

Automatic calibration

The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording

level for the inserted tape.

This adjustment works together with the deck’s ATS

(Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best

possible recording results on any tape.

Dolby HX PRO system

Distortion and noise reduction system. The Dolby HX PRO

system reduces distortion and noise in high-frequency

response while recording. A tape recorded with this system

brings the same high-quality sound even when you play the

tape on the other tape decks.

Dolby NR (noise reduction) system

Noise reduction system for eliminating hissing noise. The

Dolby NR system boosts the low-level signals in high

frequency during recording and restores them during

playback.

B and C Dolby systems are available on this tape deck. Of

the two, C provides higher noise reduction than B.

MPX filter

Multiplex filter. A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo

carrier and the 38-kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair

the Dolby NR system. Usually the tuner has an MPX filter.

If you cannot get a satisfying result when recording FM

broadcasts with Dolby NR system, your tuner does not have

a filter or the filter is not working. In this case, turn the

DOLBY NR switch countercolckwise to the position you

want (B or C with MPX FILTER).

Multi-AMS

Multi-Automatic Music Sensor. A function that locates the

beginning of up to 30 tracks before or after the current track

by detecting a blank space (of over 4 seconds) between

tracks.

Tape counter

A four-digit readout for monitoring elapsed playing or

recording time. Useful for editing tapes. Press RESET to

zero the counter (00 00).
