Bias

Adjustment

(CR-2)

The

overall

intensity

of

the

bias

current

used

dur-

ing

recording

is

determined

by

the

setting

of

the

Tape

Selector.

However,

even

tapes

of

the

same

general

type

often

have

slightly

different

bias

re-

quirements.

The

Bias

Tune

control

of

the

CR-2

offers

the

possibility

to

compensate

for

such

differ-

ences.

This

adjustment

is

not

mandatory;

satisfac-

tory

recordings

can

be

made

while

leaving

the

control

in

the

center

click-stop

position.

But

in

order

to

extract

optimum

performance

from

every

tape,

adjust

the

control

as

follows.

Record

a

source

such

as

interstation

noise

from

an

FM

tuner

at

a

level

of

about

—

30

to

—

20

dB.

Re-

wind

tape,

play

back

the

and

compare

the

to

the

original

input

signal.

If

the

recording

sounds

brighter

than

the

original,

turn

Record

Level

Setting

Correct

record

level

setting

is

an

essential

aspect

of

tape

recording.

To

achieve

optimum

performance

from

both

the

cassette

deck

and

the

tape,

some

at-

tention

should

be

devoted

to

this

point.

Nakamichi

recommends

setting

record

levels

as

high

as

possible

without

running

into

distortion.

If

record

levels

are

too

low,

tape

noise

may

become

audible,

and

natural

demagnetization

(reduction

in

recorded

signal

strength

over

an

extended

period

of

time)

can

become

a

problem.

When

combined

with

a

high-performance

cassette

tape,

the

high

dy-

namic

range

of

Nakamichi

decks

permits

‘‘pushing”

the

tape

close

to

its

saturation

limit

without

degra-

dation

of

sound

quality.

Independent

Switch

The

regular

equalization

is

120

for

normal-type

and

for

As

this

deck

provides

separate

switches

for

equali-

zation

and

tape

type,

other

settings

are

also

possi-

ble,

such

as

70-microsecond

equalization

for

normal-type

tapes,

or

120-microsecond

equalization

for

metal

tapes.

that

also

yield

If

the

recording

sounds

less

turn

trol

Repeat

this

process

a

few

times,

to

minimize

any

differences

in

sound

quali-

ty.

FM

interstation

noise

is

suitable

for

this

purpose,

as

it

contains

a

wide

and

fairly

even

spectrum

of

frequencies

from

the

low

to

the

high

range.

As

the

setting

of

the

Bias

Tune

control

affects

the

high-range

frequency

response,

it

can

also

be

used

to

tailor

the

sound

to

suit

certain

types

of

music

or

personal

preferences.

However,

extreme

settings

will

lead

to

increased

distortion

and

should

be

avoided.

only

during

~s

reduces

noise

by

about

4

dB,

but

the

This

may

be

preferable

for

example

for

ing

and

up

to

dB

with

(when

using

recom-

mended

by

Nakamichi).

2.

Using

a

chrome-type

or

metal

tape

at

120

us

causes

a

slightly

higher

noise

level,

but

upper-

range

MOL

also

increases.

This

is

suitable

for

example

for

jazz

or

rock,

where

average

levels

are

high

and

strong

high-frequency

peaks

are

often

encountered.

Inboth

cases,

it

is

essential

to

use

the

ensure

Cleaning

It

is

very

important

to

regularly

clean

the

head

sur-

faces,

capstans,

pressure

rollers,

etc.

Contamina-

tion

caused

by

tiny

particles

shed

from

the

tape

onto

these

parts

can

become

the

cause

of

dropouts

and

severely

degrade

high-frequency

response

and

wow-and-flutter

characteristics.

Perform

cleaning

about

once

every

10

hours

of

use.

Cotton

swabs

lightly

moistened

with

zero-residue,

fluorocarbon-

based

fluid

are

an

economical,

effective

and

safe

tool

for

this

task.

¢

The

head

assembly,

tape

guides

and

other

parts

of

this

deck’s

tape

transport

are

critically

aligned.

Be

careful

not

to

apply

too

much

force

during

cleaning.

Demagnetization

After

a

longer

period

of

use,

residual

magnetism

can

build

up

in

the

heads

and

capstans,

which

leads

to

noise

and

can

partially

erase

the

high

frequenci

of

a

tape

being

played.

To

prevent

this,

you

shou

demagnetize

these

parts

about

once

every

50

hor

of

use

with

the

Nakamichi

DM-10

demagnetizer

(c

tional)

or

any

other

properly

designed

zer.
