SYSTEM TIMER MAINTENANCE
By connecting the cassette deck to a timer, you can start and
stop playback or recording automatically.
• If the tuner in your Philips HiFi 900 system is equipped with
a timer (e.g. FT930), make sure that the ESI BUS
connections are made.
• Set the timer and switch on the cassette deck.
• Prepare the cassette deck for playback or recording (see
PLAYBACK or RECORDING chapter)
• Stop both decks.
• At the time set on the timer, deck B will start playback or
recording, provided there is a tape in deck B.
• If there is no tape in deck B, deck A is automatically selected
and will start playback at the time set on the timer.
REMOTE CONTROL
The following cassette deck functions can be operated via your
system remote control {Philips 900 series), provided the
correct ESI BUS connections are made:
- TAPE - source selection
- DECK A/B - for selecting deck A or B
- ►► - for winding the tape in the playing direction
for winding the tape in the opposite direction
- PLAY - for starting playback
- RECORD - for starting recording immediately
- STOP - for stopping recording/playback
- PAUSE - for interrupting recording/playback
- MODE - for selecting the playing direction for both decks
- STANDBY - for selecting standby mode
• When using your system remote control, first press TAPE to
select the tape mode.
• Then select DECK A or DECK B and subsequently press the
key of the desired tape function.
• Do not leave the unit or cassettes for any length of time in
direct sunlight or other places where high temperatures can
occur, such as in the vicinity of heating apparatus.
• Do not expose the equipment to humidi^ or rain.
• A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient
for cleaning the cabinet.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
Compact Cassettes
• The tape in the cassette is attached at both ends with leader
tape. Nothing will be recorded for 6 to 7 seconds at the be­
ginning (and at the end) of the tape.
Accidental erasure of a recording
can be prevented by breaking the
small tab in the top left-hand
corner on the back of the
cassette.You can then no longer
record on this side. This
protection can be removed by
covering the hole with a small
piece of adhesive tape.
Store your cassettes after use in the box provided. Keep the
cassettes at room temperature and avoid leaving them in the
sun or too close to magnets and transformers of e.g.
recorders, radios, TVs and loudspeakers.
Recorder maintenance
- After approximately 15 hours of
use the heads ®, the capstans
(D and the pressure rollers ©
must be cleaned.
- You can clean them with a
■ cotton bud dipped in alcohol.
Make sure that the unit is not
connected to the mains.

NOT be lubricated!
