NOTES ON THIS MANUAL  
In this manual, the main operation buttons of the front panel are indicated based on DECK B when the operation is common to  
both DECKs A and B. Since the locations of the buttons of DECK B and DECK A are the same, you can easily find the desired  
button even when operating DECK A. This manual covers three models. In most cases, however, only model KX-W592 is  
shown in the example illustrations.

HALL  
: A mode suitable for playing live recording of pop  
or rock concerts with vocals. The expansion and  
reverberation of concert hall are provided even  
when the speakers are installed close to each  
other.  
In this state, DSS effect can be applied to the input signal to  
the LINE IN jacks from any other source than cassette  
decks. The sound with DSS effect is output to the LINE OUT  
jacks.  
• On the amplifier, select the source to apply the DSS effect  
with the REC OUT selector and set the input selector to  
the TAPE position.  
If the amplifier has no REC OUT selector, select the  
source with the input selector and set the amplifier to the  
TAPE MONITOR mode.  
• Adjust the output level with the REC LEVEL control so  
that the reproduced sound is not distorted. For details, see  
“Setting the recording level” on page 12.  
DISCO : Crisp bass and solid, powerful sound reproduces  
the atmosphere of a disco.  
CHURCH: Long echo time reproduces rich reverberation in  
a church. Suitable for vocal music.  
JAZZ  
: A very rich presence is reproduced together with  
a three-dimensional feeling where each musical  
instrument asserts itself in the front line.

reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit  
incorporates both Dolby B NR and the newer Dolby C NR  
system. Dolby C NR is approximately twice as effective  
as the earlier Dolby B NR.  
Adjust the REC LEVEL control so that the highest peak  
reaches +4 of the optimum recording level. Normally, it is  
best to adjust the REC BALANCE control (KX-W592 and  
KX-W492 only) such that the left and right meter readings  
are even.

During recording:  
A 4-second blank interval is automatically recorded on the  
tape and then the deck enters Rec pause mode.  
If a blank interval longer than 4 seconds is desired, keep  
pressing for as long as you want. When the MUTE/  
SEARCH button is released, the deck enters Rec pause  
mode after making a 4-second blank interval.

are also dubbed.)  
When the tape in DECK B reaches its end, DECK B and

PLAY TRIM control adjustment  
When the tape in DECK A reaches its end, DECK A stops  
and DECK B stops after providing a blank section of about 4  
seconds.  
For normal use, set the PLAY TRIM control to the center  
position.  
When the high frequencies sound is too noticeable or too  
weak while monitoring the sound of DECK B, compensate  
the high frequency response with the PLAY TRIM control  
before dubbing. The compensated sound can be dubbed  
onto DECK B.  
Available operations while dubbing  
The Rec Return function can be carried out on DECK B.  
Refer to “REC RETURN operation” on the previous page.  
As the compensation result depends on the quality of the  
tape loaded in DECK A, the monitored sound cannot be  
recorded as it is.  
Refer to PLAY TRIM control adjustment on page 8.

CASSETTE TAPES  
CASSETTE TAPES  
PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS  
There are many different types of cassette tapes available.  
However, they all conform to standard specifications so any  
brand may be used with the deck.  
All cassette tapes are provided with erasure protection holes  
to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents. There is  
a small tab covering the hole on each side of the cassette,  
and it should be broken off after recording the tape. Without  
this tab covering the hole, it is impossible to record onto that  
tape. Thus, you can safely protect a recording for as long as  
you wish without fear of accidental erasure. Should you wish  
to use a cassette tape protected in this way for recording,  
simply covering the hole with adhesive tape will permit  
erasure and re-recording.  
÷ Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation:  
Cassette tapes are available in four basic types depending  
on their formulation, or type of magnetic material and  
manufacturing process. These four types are commonly  
known as Normal (Type I/NORM), Chrome (Type II/HIGH  
<CrO2>), Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr), and Metal (Type IV/  
METAL), and they each require specific tape deck  
adjustments for optimum performance.  
* YAMAHA does not recommend the use of 120 minute  
length cassettes since the extreme thinness of the tape  
makes them susceptible to mechanical and recording  
problems.  
÷ When using Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) or Metal  
(Type IV/METAL) tapes, make sure you do not cover the  
hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation.  
AUTO TAPE SELECTOR DETECTION SLOTS  
The deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which  
automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level and  
equalization according to the tape formulation — all you  
have to do is to load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector  
does the rest.  
The Auto Tape Selector determines which type of tape is  
loaded by sensing detector slots in the top of the tape shell.  
Each tape formulation has its own characteristic hole  
markings standardized by the tape industry.  
÷ Early model Metal (Type IV/Metal) tape formulation  
cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape  
Selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type  
tapes recorded on another deck will be played back with  
the deck at the Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) settings.  
YAMAHA does not recommend using this kind of tape.  
÷ The deck does not have the required setting for  
Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr) tape, since this tape  
formulation is not widely used. Should you use a  
Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back at  
the Normal (Type I/NORM) settings, which will result in an  
unnatural high frequency emphasis. This effect may be  
compensated for somewhat by adjusting the PLAY TRIM  
control and/or the tone controls of your amplifier/receiver  
during playback.  
TAKING UP SLACK IN THE TAPE  
As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage,  
remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes into  
the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil, pen or  
similar object into one of the spools and gently winding it  
until all the slack is removed. You do not have to wind it too  
tightly.  
Be careful not to touch the tape part itself. It is very delicate  
and touching it may damage the tape and its recorded  
contents.  
TYPE II  
TYPE IV  
STORING CASSETTES  
Detector slots  
Detector slots  
After putting a cassette tape back into its case, store it in a  
location away from exposure to direct sunlight, humidity,  
high temperatures, and magnetic fields (away from television  
sets, speakers, etc.). High temperatures and humidity will  
damage the tape itself, while exposure to magnetic fields  
may cause a loss of recorded material. Avoid touching the  
tape surface with your fingers, since dirt or finger oil will  
contaminate the deck’s heads.

MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING OF THE TAPE PATH  
DECK B  
Continued high quality performance of your deck is  
dependent upon periodic cleaning of the heads, capstan,  
pinch roller, and all surfaces over which the tape travels.  
Normal use will cause an accumulation of dirt and dust on  
the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers. This can lead to  
poor sound quality, drop outs (intervals with no sound),  
unsteady tape speed, loss of high frequency response, etc.  
Thus, clean the heads and all surfaces over which the tape  
travels with a commercially available cleaning cassette and  
fluid type cleaner.  
Heads  
Capstan  
Capstan  
Pinch roller  
Pinch roller  
DEMAGNETIZATION  
After 20-30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will  
build up on the heads to cause poor high frequency  
reproduction. At this time you should use a commercially  
available cassette tape-type head demagnetizer.  
÷ When cleaning the tape path or demagnetizing the heads,  
be sure to follow carefully the instructions of the  
concerning materials such as cleaning fluid or head  
demagnetizer.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If your cassette deck fails to operate normally, check the following table. It lists common operating errors and simple measures  
which you can take to correct the problem. If it cannot be corrected, or the symptom is not listed, disconnect the deck’s power  
cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or authorized service center for help.
