We

have

included

a

MPX

INSTALLATION

OF

THE

RD

960BX

Please

place

the

unit

on

a

DRY,

level

surface

away

from

direct

sunlight.

Avoid

placing

objects

on

top

of

the

RD

960BX.

Do

not

allow

water

to

fall

onto

or

into

the

RD-960BX

as

this

could

damage

the

circuitry.

Avoid

installing

the

cassette

deck

in

a

location

where

excessive

heat,

humidity,

vibration,

magnetic

hum

fields

or

moisture

will

be

a

problem.

We

recommend

installing

the

RD

960BX

in

furniture

designed

to

house

audio

components.

This

will

allow

the

cassette

deck

to

be

on

its

own

shelf

with

nothing

stacked

on

top

of

it.

This

will

minimize

potential

interference

from

hum

fields

created

by

other

components

in

your

system

such

as

your

receiver,

integrated

or

power

amplifier.

Component

furniture

will

also

reduce

or

suppress

vibration

and

all

audio

components

will

provide

improved

sound

when

free

from

vibration.

Ask

your

ROTEL/?/

fi

Authorized

Dealer

for

advice

about

component

furniture

and

proper

installation

of

audio

components.

ELECTRICAL

on

AC

voltage

and

the

correct

voltage

is

displayed

on

the

Back

Panel.

Do

not

attempt

to

operate

the

RD

960BX

on

incorrect

voltage

as

this

will

damage

the

circuitry

and

will

void

your

warranty.

If

you

are

in

doubt

about

the

correct

voltage

for

this

cassette

deck

we

suggest

that

you

please

read

the

label

on

the

back

panel

or

consult

your

ROTEL/

7

/

fi

Authorized

Dealer

for

confirmation

of

the

correct

voltage.

Connect

the

Power

wish

to

disconnect

the

power

cord

from

the

wall,

always

hold

the

and

then

pull

it

out

of

the

wall

socket.

Do

not

unplug

the

power

only.

This

may

damage

the

power

cord

and

create

a

hazardous

condition.

We

recommend

that

Never

use

cleaning

compounds

or

solvents

to

clean

the

cabinet

as

they

may

damage

the

finish

or

remove

the

labels.

They

could

also

damage

the

circuitry,

tape

heads

or

drive

mechanisms

if

any

residue

falls

inside

the

cassette

deck.

There

are

NO

user

serviceable

parts

inside

the

RD

960BX.

Please

do

not

open

the

cabinet

as

this

will

expose

you

to

the

risk

of

potentially

dangerous

high

voltage

and

the

risk

of

shock.

This

could

also

damage

the

circuits

and

possibly

void

your

warranty.

10

dB,

DOLBY

C

will

add

another

10

dB

or

so

improvement

to

the

signal

to

noise

ratio.

You

should

use

the

same

NR

during

PLAY

that

you

have

used

during

RECORD

for

maximum

fidelity.

We

have

included

the

DOLBY

HX

PRO

circuit

to

improve

the

high

frequency

response

of

the

recordings

of

NORMAL

and

SPECIAL

tapes

made

with

the

RD

960BX.

This

circuit

has

been

included

to

more

closely

approximate

the

performance

of

METAL

tapes

with

NORMAL

or

SPECIAL

tape

types.

DOLBY

HX

PRO

works

during

RECORD

with

TYPE

1

or

NORMAL

and

TYPE

2,

Cr02

or

SPECIAL

tapes

only.

The

best

way

to

describe

how

this

circuit

works

would

be

to

imagine

that

the

cassette

deck

is

reading

the

musical

score

and

adjusting

the

recording

bias

dynamically

to

enable

the

tape

to

accept

the

maximum

amount

of

high

frequency

energy,

without

overloading,

that

the

music

requires.

High

level

high

frequency

sounds

tend

to

be

additive

to

the

high

frequency

bias

signal

that

makes

the

recording

process

possible.

This

results

in

overbiasing

the

tape,

which

leads

to

a

dull

sounding

recording

with

poor

high

frequency

response.

The

HX

PRO

circuit

will

"see"

the

high

level

high

frequency

sounds

and

dynamically

reduce

the

recording

bias

momentarily

to

minimize

the

possibility

of

saturating

the

tape.

The

result

is

a

correctly

biased

tape

with

improved

headroom

at

high

frequencies

and

better

sounding

recordings

of

your

favorite

music.

This

works

in

conjunction

with

the

BIAS

ADJUST

control.

The

BIAS

ADJUST

control

makes

it

possible

to

optimize

the

RECORD

BIAS

level

for

various

high

performance

brands

of

tape.

We

suggest

making

a

recording

from

your

tuner

of

the

FM

hiss

sound

between

stations.

(Defeat

the

Mute

circuit

on

the

tuner

to

do

this.)

Set

the

REC

LEVEL

so

that

the

meter

reads

-15

or

-20

dB

and

make

a

recording

of

the

hiss.

Compare

the

sound

of

the

tape

recording

to

the

sound

from

the

tuner

(not

for

volume

level)

for

similarity

of

the

high

frequency

sound.

Rotate

the

BIAS

ADJUST

control

for

the

best

sonic

match

by

repeating

the

recording

and

listening

process.

If

you

have

a

test

CD,

we

suggest

this

be

done

with

an

8

kHz

tone

at

-20

dB.

This

adjustment

should

be

done

with

the

DOLBY

NR

turned

OFF.

The

REMOTE

CONTROL

handset

duplicates

the

REW,

PLAY,

FF,

on

the

MAINTENANCE

OF

THE

RD

960BX

CASSETTE

DECK

A

cassette

deck

needs

to

have

CLEAN

heads

and

drive

mechanisms

to

make

a

good

recording

or

to

sound

good

on

playback.

If

you

play

this

cassette

deck

every

day

for

several

hours,

the

heads

will

need

to

be

cleaned

about

once

a

week

with

excellent

tapes

and

more

frequently

with

inexpensive

tapes.

We

suggest

cleaning

the

cassette

deck

heads

and

drive

mechanisms

every

time

you

make

a

recording

to

improve

the

sound

of

your

recordings.

The

compact

cassette

runs

at

a

slow

speed

and

even

a

small

amount

of

oxide

buildup

from

the

tape

onto

the

heads

will

degrade

the

high

frequency

sounds

quite

a

lot.

As

a

general

guide;

a

clean

cassette

deck

is

a

good

sounding

cassette

deck.

The

door

may

be

removed

from

the

cassette

holder

to

facilitate

cleaning

by

pressing

the

OPEN

button

and

then

gently

pulling

up

on

the

sides

of

the

door

panel.

Installation

should

be

done

carefully

to

ensure

a

proper

alignment

of

the

door

on

the

cassette

holder

and

then

press

down

gently

to

install

it.

The

heads

(Erase

and

Record/Play),

pinch

roller

(rubber

wheel)

and

the

capstan

(drive

shaft)

should

be

cleaned

with

pure

(not

rubbing/

alcohol

and

cotton

swabs,

cotton

buds

or

"Q"

tips.

This

should

be

done

gently

as

the

proper

head

alignment

is

critical

to

the

sound

quality

of

the

RD

960BX.

Pure

distilled

grain

alcohol

(Don't

drink

it!)

is

excellent

for

this

purpose

as

it

has

no

impurities

to

leave

a

residue.

DRY

"cleaning

tapes"

are

not

recommended

as

they

are

abrasive

and

do

not

clean

the

capstan

or

pinch

roller.

Occasional

demagnetizing

of

the

heads

and

capstan

with

a

commercially

available

demagnetizer

will

also

maintain

the

sound

quality.

Magnetism

builds

up

in

these

parts

as

a

direct

result

of

the

recording

and

playback

process.

Demagnetizing

every

50

hours

of

use

is

a

good

idea

and

we

recommend

it.

Ask

your

ROTEL

hi

fi

AUTHORIZED

DEALER

for

advice

about

the

maintenance

and

demagnetizing

of

your

cassette

deck.

A

FINAL

WORD

FROM

ROTEL

ABOUT

THIS

CASSETTE

DECK

The

compact

cassette

is

a

very

popular

music

source

for

many

people

and

we

believe

the

RD

960BX

will

be

a

valued

addition

to

your

musical

enjoyment.

We

have

designed

this

cassette

deck

for

high

performance

using

test

equipment

and

the

human

ear.

We

believe

that

both

methods

are

useful

in

the

design

of

audio

electronics.

This

is

time

consuming

but

we

feel

that

the

music

benefits

from

this

care

and

attention

to

detail.

We

realize

that

there

are

many

choices

available

in

the

market

today

and

we

thank

you

again

for

choosing

our

RD

960BX

Compact

Cassette

Deck

to

record

and

play

your

cassette

tapes.

Enjoy

recording

and

playing

the

music!
