PIONEER OPERATING THE CT-F61 5 When hooked up to your stereo components (amplifier, tuner, turntable, etc.), you can re- cord and play back FM or AM broadcasts, re- cords and other program sources in stereo on this deck. In addition, you can make your own stereo recordings using an electret or dynamic microphone. The deck is provided with a headphones (PHONES) jack, and this allows you to monitor the recording or tape play with stereo head- phones. The tape selector buttons permit full justice to be given to the characteristics of metal tapes, chrome tapes, ferrichrome tapes and standard tapes. They can also be used for recording and playback with the bare minimum of distortion. The Dolbyx noise reduction system serves to cut out a great deal of that irritating tape hiss in the high-frequency range without sacrificing the sound qualit5r of the program source (it yields a 10dB improvement in the high frequency sound range). This system expands the dynamic range and makes it possible to record and play back sources with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The deck comes with an unattended recording function which can be used along with the timer for unattended recording and wake-up to the sound of a tape being played back instead of the usual alarm clock- CONNECTIONS Connect the tape deck's terminals (OUTPUT- INPUT) to the tape terminals on the stereo ampli- fier (or receiver) with the accessory cords. The top terminal is for the left channel and the bottom for the right channel. Connections for playback: connect the TAPE PLAY input terminals on the stereo amplifier to the tape deck's OUTPUT (PLAY) terminals. Connections for recording: connect the stereo amplifier's TAPE REC output terminals to the tape deck's INPUT (REC) terminals.

Location liable to downgrade performance and result in breakdowns Locations exposed to direct sunlight, or near heaters or dther heat sources. Locations with poo:" ventilation, with high humidity or mois- ture contents, or dusty locations. Locations susceptible to vibration. Locations where there are thinners, benzine and other types of volatile liquids, insect sprays or any kind of inf lammable objects at hand. Resulting trouble 1. External heat causes the performance of the circuit parts to deteriorate, and operation becomes unstable. 2. Cause of faulty contact in input/output terminals, and rust. High humidity and a high moisture content cause deterioration in insulation. There is also the danger of current leakage and heat generation in the circuit parts. Dust or grease in the rotat- ing parts causes the parts to deteriorate. 3. These locations affect the precision parts adversely. 4. These help to corrode the front panel. ln particular,the heads are precision-f inished to micron dimensions. Chemicals may reduce their performance, so exercise all due care. 2 4. *Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. x Dolby and D0 are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
