INSTALLATION

POWER

REQUIREMENTS

Connect

the

AC

line

cord

to

any

outlet

supplying

117

volt,

50

or

60

Hz

AC

current.

The

voltage

may

vary

between

105

and

125

volts.

FUSING

A

fuse

is

a

safety

device

used

for

protection

against

possible

damage

due

to

overload

or

short

circuits.

The

AC

fuse

on

the

HK

1000

labeled

0.2A-3AG

is

used

to

protect

the

power

supply

of

the

system.

In

the

event

of

fuse

failure,

replace

ONLY

with

the

same

fuse

type

used.

NEVER

replace

with

a

fuse

of

higher

rating.

To

do

so

will

NOT

protect

your

player/recorder

and

could

result

in

severe

damage

which

is

not

covered

under

the

warranty

policy.

AUDIO

CONNECTIONS

PLAYBACK

—

Connect

the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

OUTPUT

jacks

on

the

HK

1000

to

the

auxilary

or

tape

monitoring

jacks

on

your

amplifier

or

receiver.

RECORD

—

The

HK

1000

has

two

sets

of

line

inputs.

The

LEFT

and

RIGHT

INPUT

-LOW

jacks

will

be

the

proper

input

jacks

to

use

in

most

cases.

They

should

be

connected

to

the

TAPE

OUT

jacks

on

your

amplifier

or

receiver.

If,

however,

you

wish

to

record

from

a

tuner

or

another

tape

recorder,

both

of

which

usually

have

a

relatively

high

output,

you

should

then

connect

this

equipment

to

the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

INPUT

-HIGH

jacks.

If

there

is

any

doubt

as

to

which

inputs

to

use,

connect

your

equipment

to

the

INPUT

-HIGH

jacks

first.

Refer

to

the

paragraph

entitled

"RECORDING

PROCEDURE"

and

make

an

experimental

recording.

If

you

have

no

problem

reaching

the

proper

recording

level,

as

indicated

by

the

VU

meters,

the

connections

may

remain

as

is.

If,

on

the

other

hand,

you

cannot

reach

the

proper

recording

level,

it

will

be

necessary

to

reconnect

the

outputs

from

your

equipment

to

the

INPUT

-LOW

jacks

on

the

HK

1000.

MICROPHONES

-

If

you

wish

to

use

a

microphone,

it

MUST

be

a

LOW

IMPEDANCE

type.

CABLES

—

The

cables

supplied

with

the

HK

1000

are

of

sufficient

length

for

most

installations.

However,

it

may

be

necessary

to

use

longer

cables.

In

such

cases

a

maximum

of

six

feet

of

high

-quality,

low

-capacitance,

shielded

audio

cable

may

be

used

for

each

connection.

SPEED

ADJUST

This

control

located

on

the

rear

panel

has

been

carefully

adjusted

at

the

factory

for

the

correct

operating

speed.

It

should

NEVER

be

adjusted

unless

proper

instrumentation

is

available.

OPERATION

STEREO

-MONO

SWITCH

This

switch

must

be

placed

in

the

STEREO

position

when

making

a

stereo-

phonic

recording.

When

placed

in

the

MONO

position

while

recording,

the

switch

will

allow

the

inputs

to

either

or

both

channels

to

be

recorded

simultane-

ously

on

both

tape

tracks.

The

result

will

be

a

monaural

recording

of

all

inputs

to

the

HK

1000.

The

STEREO

-MONO

switch

has

no

effect

during

playback.

TAPE

SWITCH

You

may

use

either

standard,

low

noise

or

chromium

dioxide

(CE.O2)

tape

with

the

HK

1000.

When

making

a

recording

be

sure

to

place

the

TAPE

switch,

in

the

position

corresponding

to

the

type

of

tape

being

used.

During

playback,

the

position

of

this

switch

should

also

correspond

to

the

type

of

tape

being

used.

MEMORY

SWITCH/TAPE

COUNTER

The

three

-digit

tape

counter

is

provided

as

a

means

of

relocating

any

given

point

on

a

tape

once

it

has

been

recorded.

When

a

recording

is

being

made,

simply

log

the

reading

on

the

counter

at

the

beginning

of

each

selection.

You

will

then

be

able

to

wind

the

tape

to

the

same

point

at

any

future

date.

The

pushbutton

allows

you

to

reset

the

counter

to

zero

so

that

you

will

always

be

able

to

use

the

same

frame

of

reference.

The

memory

switch

is

used

in

conjunction

with

the

tape

counter.

This

will

enable

the

tape

to

return

to

any

given

point

selected

as

follows:

At

any

time

during

operation

of

the

tape,

when

the

memory

switch

is

placed

in

the

"ON"

position

and

the

tape

counter

is

reset

to

zero,

this

now

becomes

the

new

zero

reference

point.

Once

this

new

zero

reference

is

established,

and

the

rewind

button

is

depressed,

the

tape

will

only

return

to

this

new

reference

point

and

not

rewind

completely.

In

order

to

defeat

the

memory

circuit,

simply

turn

the

switch

"OFF."

However,

this

memory

circuit

is

retained

and

can

be

used

again

until

you

reset

the

tape

counter

to

a

new

zero

point

with

the

memory

"ON".

An

example

of

the

use

of

this

switch

is

as

follows:

1.

With

memory

switch

OFF,

place

a

tape

in

the

machine

and

play

one

selection

from

this

tape.

2.

Now

place

memory

switch

"ON",

and

reset

counter

to

zero.

3.

Continue

and

play

next

selection

on

the

tape.

4.

At

any

time

during

or

after

any

subsequent

selection,

when

you

press

the

rewind

button,

the

machine

will

return

to

the

beginning

of

the 2nd

selection

(approximately

1

digit

prior

to

the

new

zero

reference).

It

will

not

return

to

the

very

beginning

of

the

tape.
