SERVICE PROCEDURES
1, Replacement of power supply cord
There are two power supply cord outlets on the strainrelief.
Insert them in prescribed direction to ensure safety. AS-UC-
3 (UD<120V> model) should be inserted lengthwise and
other types of cords should be inserted horizontally.

Three Heads with Special Hard Permalloy
For Superior Metal Tape Performance
Having three heads means you can monitor the actual
recorded signal as you record instead of rewinding the tape
to check your recording afterward. The 3-head system also
has the advantage of making possible the use of separate
record and playback gaps, each optimized for its own task.
The special hard permalloy head formulation boasts the
high saturation flux density and abrasion resistance needed
for true metal tape compatibility.
Preset Automatic Accubias
Different brands of cassette tape can exhibit slight varia-
tions in playback frequency response even when recorded
at exactly the same bias level. Automatic Accubias tailors
the recording bias to the magnetic characteristics of any
cassette tape. The Auto Accubias preset knob allows you
to choose from five different frequency response positions
(—2, —1, 0, +1, +2) before the adjustment takes place.
The 0 setting results in flat playback response. If you wish
to boost high frequencies (when recording electronic music,
for example) choose + 1 or + 2; choose — 1 or — 2 to
attenuate them. This system combines maximum
flexibility with ease of operation.
Dual Sensor Real Time Tape Counter
The tape counter circuit measures the speed of both tape
reels and compares them by microcomputer to provide
precise readings of remaining time. This dual sensor
technique eliminates small errors in time calculations
caused by slight variations in tape thickness between
different manufacturers to give the most accurate time
indications possible.
2-Motor Tape Transport with Separate Head Assembly
Motor
The tape transport system, along with the heads, is the
most important factor affecting the basic performance of
a cassette deck. To assure extremely stable and accurate
transport, this unit uses a DC servo-controlled capstan
motor. This motor is unaffected by fluctuations in the
power supply voltage and frequency and instantaneous
changes in load. A highly reliable simple drive transmission
system and precision vertical cassette holder further en-
hance overall accuracy and stability. As a result, wow and
flutter is under 0.045%. In addition, separate DC motors
drive the reel tables and head base and the head assembly is
constructed to move silently with no annoying clicks.
Dolby B and C Noise Reduction, and Dolby HX PRO
Along with standard Dolby B NR, this unit also has the
even more effective Dolby C NR system. Dolby C NR
reduces tape background noise by 20dB at 5kHz, about
3 times more than Dolby B NR. In addition to its wide
band noise reduction, Dolby C NR uses a sliding band
technique that varies the band width of noise reduction
according to the input level, thereby avoiding noise “pump-
ing.” Dolby C NR also has an anti-saturation effect to
reduce the chance of tape saturation in the high range.
All these features combine to eliminate the adverse effects
on tape sound that other noise reduction systems can cause.
This deck also features Dolby HX PRO which helps prevent
tape saturation and thereby allows you to record tapes con-
taining a wider dynamic range.
