PIONEER
CONNECTIONS
Connect
the
CT-F900's terminals
(OUTPUT-
INPUT) to the tape terminals on the receiver (or
stereo amplifier) with the accessory cords. The top
terminal is for the left channel and the bottom for
the right channel (Fig. 1).
Connections for
playback:
connect the TAPE
PLAY input terminals on the receiver to the
CT-F900's OUTPUT (PLAY) terminals.
Connections for recording:
connect the receiver's
TAPE REC output terminals to the CT-F900's
INPUT (REC) terminals.
Using
the DIN (REC/PLAY) connector:
If the
receiver is equipped with DIN recording/playback
connector, use DIN recording/playback cord, which
is sold separately, to connect the DIN (REC/
PLAY) connector on the CT-F900 and the receiver
(Fig. 2). There is no need for the accessory con¬
necting cords since the same connections serve
for both recording and playback.
NOTE:
If you do not connect properly, you will hear a monoto¬
nous single-pitched hum and this will impair your record¬
ing.
HANDLING THE POWER CORD
• Always take hold of the plug to unplug it from
the power outlet; do not unplug it by pulling on
the cord. The cord may be damaged if you keep
pulling on it.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
This is extremely dangerous because you may
get an electric shock.

INSTALLATION
To ensure the best sound quality and trouble-free operation, avoid setting up
the tape deck in any of the locations described below.
Location liable to downgrade performance
and result in breakdowns
Resulting trouble
1. Locations exposed to direct sunlight, or near heaters or other
heat sources.
1. External heat causes the performance of the electronic parts to
deteriorate, and operation becomes unstable.
2. Locations with poor ventilation, or with high humidity or
moisture contents, or dusty locations.
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. Locations susceptible to vibration.
3. These locations affect the precision parts adversely.
4. Locations where there are thinners, benzine and other types of
volatile liquids, insect sprays or any kind of inflammable
objects at hand.
4. These help to corrode the front panel. In particular, the heads
are precision-finished to micron dimensions. Chemicals may
reduce their performance, so exercise all due care.
