Instructions for using a tape deck

Dear all,

It has been years since I've owned a cassette deck and, having recently won an auction for a Sony TCK611S and now taking delivery of it, I find I really haven't a clue how to use it. I guess that's what happens when you spend too much time in the digital copying domain, or maybe it's just me.

Anyway, I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a crash course in this (or any similar) deck's usage - what's all this business about callibration and bias for starters? I understand about the basics like play, stop, record, record level, noise reduction, etc., but am a bit confused with connections (to a Naim 32.5 pre-amp) and which buttons dials do what regarding playback/monitoring. Any help would be really appreciated.

Yours, a complete numpty when it comes to this type of thing,

Chris.

 

I've got you a copy of the manual but you'll have to wait till I can get home. PM me your email and I'll send it to you.

Anyway you numpty you could have had mine, £75 with 100 tapes, and some blank ones, and that included postage.

Doh

 

Brilliant - thanks, lordsummit. I'll send you a pm shortly.

Don't know how I missed your advert but there you go - my eyesight must be going the way of my memory...

Thanks again,

Chris.

 

You should have mail

 

thanks, lordsummit - you're a star.
