Environmental Considerations
Your
R-999X
is well
constructed,
and
adaptable to a wide range of environmental
conditions.
However, it is still an electro-
mechanical device with limits to be consider-
ed.
To prolong the life of your new deck,
pay attention to the following factors when
you install and operate the deck.
Constant High Temperature Locations
Do
not
operate
this unit
near
heating
appliances,
on top of an amplifier, or in
direct sunlight.
Temperature extremes will
ultimately not only cause degradation of
sound
quality, but will also shorten
the
useful operating life of the unit.
Avoid
temperatures higher than 38°C (100°F).
Extremely Low Temperatures
In such locations, lubricants will harden and
satisfactory operation cannot be expected.
Operation will be sluggish and an overload
may be placed on the drive motor.
Avoid
temperatures lower than 5°C (40°F).
High Humidity Locations
Will shorten equipment life from corrosion
and
possible fungus growth on printed
circuit boards.
Dusty Environments
Your R-999X is a precision machine and as
such should be protected from dust. Opera-
tion in a dusty atmosphere will result in
excessive
tape
head
wear.
Your tapes
should also be kept dust-free.
Fluctuation of the Supply Voltage
Should you be in an area where line voltage
fluctuation is severe, the use of a voltage
regulator may be advisable.
