• Connecting the deck to an amplifier
• Before connecting the deck to your amplifier, it is a good practice to review your amplifier's instruction manual.
• Use the white plugs for the left channel, and the red plugs for the right channel.
• Connecting the deck to CD player (CD DIRECT)
Use the separately sold pin cord to connect the CD DIRECT IN terminal of the cassette deck to the LINE OUT (ANALOG)
FIX terminal of the CD player.
• Systems remote control
When you use our company's receiver and the cassette deck having the REMOTE CONTROL (TAPE) terminal, connect their
REMOTECONTROL terminals with the attached mini·plug cable. ("PLAY, FF, REW, STOP, REC/REC MUTE AND REC PAUSE"

• Tape dubbing
• Many stereo amplifiers and receivers have tape dubbing circuitry so that tape duplication can be performed between
two or more tape decks. Review your amplifier's instruction manual for a full explanation of this mode of operation.
• Connecting Headhones
To listen through headphones, plug your headphones into the PHONES jack .
• Installation Precautions
If the deck is placed on or too near an amplifier or tuner, noise (induced hum) or beat interference may result (especially
during AM reception). If this occurs, separate the deck from other components or reorient its position.
