System 1035 (130-1255) Cassette Deck Faxback Doc. # 7484 Use only Type-1 (normal-bias) or Type-2 (CrO2) tapes. Your local Radio Shack store sells a complete selection of blank tapes. You can use your cassette deck for normal playback, continuous play, recording, or dubbing. This cassette deck also has Dolby B noise reduction. NOTES: Before you load a cassette, take up any tape slack by turning the tape hub with a pencil or your finger. Do not use C-120 tapes. If you play a cassette a number of times, the tape can become tightly wound on either hub. A tape that is wound too tightly can cause tape distortion, uneven tape motion, or even tape wrap-ups. To restore normal tension, fast-forward the entire tape and then completely rewind it. PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE 1. Press POWER/STANDBY. 2. Press TAPE. The TAPE indicator lights. 3. Press STOP/EJECT on TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 to open the desired cassette com- partment door. 4. Insert a pre-recorded cassette tape with its open end down and full reel to the left. Gently close the compartment door. 5. If the tape was recorded with DOLBY NR, set DOLBY NR to IN. Otherwise, set DOLBY NR to OUT. (See "Using Dolby Noise Reduction.") 6. Press PLAY to start play. Press STOP/EJECT to stop the tape. CONTINUOUS PLAY You can set the tape player to play one side of the tape in TAPE 2, then automatically play one side of the tape in TAPE 1. 1. Press TAPE. The TAPE indicator lights. 2. Load a cassette into each deck. Set DOLBY NR as explained in "Playing a Cassette Tape", Step 5. 3. Press PLAY for TAPE 2. The cassette in TAPE 2 plays. 4. Press PAUSE and then PLAY on TAPE 1. USING PAUSE To temporarily stop play, recording, or dubbing, press TAPE 2's PAUSE for TAPE 2's cassette tape or TAPE 1's PAUSE for TAPE 1's cassette tape. Press the appropriate PAUSE button again to continue playing, recording, or dubbing. USING FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND To fast-forward or rewind the tape, press FAST-F or REWIND on the deck you are using. Press STOP/EJECT when the tape reaches the desired location. AUTO STOP The cassette deck has a full-release stop system to protect the tape and prevent pinch roller damage. When the tape reaches the end in playback, recording, fast forward or rewind mode, the tape mechanism automatically stops. USING DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION This system's deck uses the Dolby-B noise reduction system to lower the level of background noise or "tape hiss". At the initial recording, the Dolby NR circuit "listens" to the program to find places where you later might be able to hear the tape noise. The Dolby NR system increases the volume of the music so these sections are recorded at a higher level. When you play the tape, the circuit cuts the volume of these sections, at the same time reducing the level of tape hiss. Dolby NR reduces the level of tape hiss to one third the original level. When listening to a recording, set the DOLBY NR switch to the setting used for the original recording. RECORDING FROM TUNER, TURNTABLE, OR VIDEO EQUIPMENT Follow these steps to record from the tuner, turntable, or video equipment. NOTES: Use only Type-1 (normal bias) or Type-2 (CrO2) tapes for recording. Be sure the cassette's erase-protection tab is in place. 1. Press the appropriate source selection button (TUNER, PHONO, or VCR) to select the audio source you want to record. 2. Load a blank cassette or one you want to record over into TAPE 1 with the full reel to the left. 3. Set DOLBY NR to IN to record with Dolby noise reduction. 4. Press RECORD. PLAY automatically engages. Then, start the audio source. Recording begins, and the RECORD indicator lights. If you need to temporarily stop recording at any time, press TAPE 1's PAUSE. 5. Press TAPE 1's STOP/EJECT to stop recording. NOTE: When you play back a recorded AM program, you may hear a high- pitched tone or whistling sound. This is called a beat. Record a short test segment from an AM radio station, then play back the recording. If you hear the tone, set BEAT CANCEL on the front of the system to 1 or 2 and record another test segment. Leave the switch set to the setting that gives the best recording. Then, record the desired AM program. RECORDING FROM A CD NOTES: Use only Type-1 (normal bias) or Type-2 (CrO2) tapes for recording.

Be sure the cassette's erase-protection tab is in place. If the original tape was recorded using Dolby NR, the copy also has Dolby NR, regardless of the position of the Dolby NR switch. If the tape you copy does not have Dolby NR, you cannot add it to the tape you record. Also, the recording level is preset. Adjusting EXTENDED BASS, the frequency equalizer, or volume controls does not affect the recording level. Use the same type of tape (normal or CrO2) for TAPE 1 that is in TAPE 2. You can use the cassette deck's synchro-start mechanism to easily duplicate a tape by playing it in TAPE 2 and making a recording of it in TAPE 1. You can also select between two dubbing speeds, normal or high speed, and you can monitor the tape as you dub it. 1. Press TAPE. The TAPE indicator lights. 2. Load the cassette you want to copy into TAPE 2 with the cassette's full reel to the left and the side you want to play facing you. 3. Load a blank cassette, or one you want to record over into TAPE 1. Position the cassette so the side you want to record onto faces you with its full reel to the left. 4. Set DUB.SPEED as follows: HIGH - to record in half the normal recording time. NORMAL - to record at normal speed for quality sound. 5. Press TAPE 1's PAUSE. 6. Press RECORD to set the recording pause mode. TAPE 1's PLAY automatically engages. The RECORD indicator lights. 7. Press TAPE 2's PLAY. TAPE 1's PAUSE releases and dubbing (copying) begins. 8. To stop dubbing, press STOP/EJECT on both decks. When a cassette tape reaches the end, it automatically turns off. However, if the other deck's tape has not ended, that deck continues recording or playing. CAUTION: Do not change the dubbing speed during dubbing. Doing so might damage the tape or cause distorted recording. (/all-8/31/94)
