we would encourage you to carefully read this Instruction Manual.
We
feel
that
the time devoted to this manual by you will be returned in increased
enjoyment
of

OPERATIONAL
LIMITATIONS
The TEAC 2300S
is
very well constructed, and adaptable
to
a wide range
of
condi-
tions.
It
is
still an electronic device with limits to be considered. To prolong the life
of
your
new deck, consider the following factors when you install and operate.
Mounting position
This deck may be used in either the upright or horizontal positions. The upright
position
is
preferred from the point
of
more efficient ventilation.
Locations
of
constant high temperatures
Do
not
operate this unit near heating appliances or on
top
of
an amplifier where
amplifier heat would contribute to a rise in temperature. Do
not
place the unit where
it will
be
exposed to direct summer sunlight. Temperature extremes will
not
only
cause degradation
of
sound quality,
but
will also shorten the useful operating life
of
the unit. Avoid temperatures higher than I
00°F
.
Locations
of
extreme low temperature
In low · temperature locations, lubricants will harden and satisfactory operation
cannot be expected. Operation will be sluggish and an overload may be placed on
the drive motors. Avoid temperatures lower than 40° F.
Locations
of
high humidity
High humidity locations will shorten equipment life from corrosion and possible
fungus growth on printed circuit boards.
Dusty environments
Your TEAC deck
is
a precision machine and
as
such should be protected from dust.
Operation in a dusty atmosphere
will
result in excessive bearing and tape head wear.
Your tapes should also
be
kept dust-free.
Fluctuation
of
the supply voltage
Should you
be
in an area where line voltage fluctuation
is
severe, the use
of
a voltage
controller may
be
advisable.
* Photographs and/or illustrations may differ slightly from the appearance
of
your
deck when production design improvements are incorporated.
