I think all the Bond Seiko watches were the best.

Hello, it took me 40 years to understand that to use Dolby B - C - S you must record the tape with the Dolby activated and play the tape with the same Dolby recorded. It sounds incredible. 99% of the original sound, without loss. I thought it worked by activating Dolby at any time with any cassette. I was very very wrong.

Thanks! Your video helped me replace belts in my Sony MHC-3600.... without watching video I don't think I would be able to do it on my own.... old belts basically disintegrated lol over years from heat or just being old, and there was no way to see it belt routing before taking apart. Big thanks!

I think you just saved me a few bucks.

3:53 Notice the bias knob is fully to the positives. If left at this position every tape (even a metal) will sound muffled with, or without Dolby. A decent deck like this can provide quite good recorgings on a good tape, regardless of what kind of Dolby is selected. Presumably the mistake lies in the use of the bias knob. This is meant to give the last fine touch to the auto calibration calibration and given that the latter is adequate, the deviation from 0 is expected to be small. The recording steps IMO sould be the following: 1. Select Dolby type (if desired). 2. Use the calibration button to let the deck calibrate itself for the characteristics of the tape in use. Use of the small rec level knob is needed to match the levels of th source and the tape. Use of the large rec level to adjust the peaks. 3. Start recording and monitor by switching betwen tape and source. At this point and ONLY AT THIS POINT the bias knob should be used in order for the tape to match the source as good as possible. Usually a minor left turn must be fine for normal tapes, a similar right turn for metal tapes and almost nothing for type II.

Technics sh-ge70?

Great to see another Hi-fi enthusiast who loves Graphic Equalisers. So many audiophiles are so snobbish about them. I have 3 myself, 2 old ones from late 70s/early 80s with just sliders, but also a Kenwood GE-920 from 1988, very similar to yours, but 14 bands per channel, starting from 32hz to 16khz. I've had it about 10 years and I love it. But until recently hadn't used it for some time, I now have it connected to the pre-out of my av amp, then into 2 monoblock power amps, it sounds amazing, and looks great with the spectrum analyser going

Well good job for an amateur. It's a professional work you did. Even a professional technician started by making mistakes then he learned from it. I really appreciate your work ❤️

I picked up an 850 es. Sending it out for restoration. Love these decks

Exzellent Video, thank you! One question: when installing the small belt, in which direction shows the end of the spring? I am not sure about that...

Cassettes suck whether noise reduction or not! 🗑️👎

Thank you so much for such a well-done video! Works like a charm!

So many people out there just NEVER demagnetize their tape heads. Not doing that means you will LOSE the crisp highs of that tape deck. When you comBINE the fact that Dolby B does take some of the high end out to tamp down hiss and noise? You get really dull cassettes, especially type one.

You don’t remove the tape first?

I worked at an audio video store, the sales staff were saying Dolby NR was a marketing gimmick so that major consumer electronics companies can sell as many units as possible for maximum profit.

Always loved music and hi-fi and wen i was younger i saw the Sony, Pionner and Thecnics catalogs to many times until they disintegrated 😅

Should have fought the copyright claims. This video falls under fair use.

Actually the normal playback was glossy and I could actually hear the hiss.

Hi there, so it looks like the solder used was not the same as the original, (should be 60/40) and you've made some cold solder joints, which will break down eventually, and the yellow stuff is just flux left over from manufacture, so nothing to worry about in that regard. Some walkman's can get up to and exceed the 20-20k mark, but they are the more expensive end usually (DD range ect). (I'm an Ex-Sony tech by the way) Nice vid.

Great video! I am repairing my mums one. With the dial on the end, you didn't mention which way to turn the dial. Do you recall?

What happens if you have an automatic

i got a T48 from the early 90's. $5 from Goodwill. i was so excited, i ate a loaf of toast w 1lb butter. i'm already fat, so it's ok

I have the d-802k discman from 1993. Still works great

Proud owner of a CDP-555ESD, just passed 36 years old and as good as the day it came out the box…other than a couple of tray belts changed. That Sony engineering will outlive me 😊

I still have my Sony discman k844

Nice worrk sir

throw that global bs cage away

Ho comprato questo amplificatore su Amazon il prezzo è aumentato a euro 900 ma lì vale tutti con diffusori dali opticon 6 mk2 suona fantastico è assolutamente da consigliare.

My understanding is that Dolby Noise Reduction (DNR) only raises the highs when the volume on the tape is low because that is when you would notice the tape hiss. That could be the reasons that the sound is thrown off when you play the tape back when using DNR because the deck has to correctly determine when the highs should be reduced. When I was using cassette tapes I thought that instead of using DNR I'd use a graphic equalizer to manually raise the frequencies where the tape hiss is, and then manually reduce it by the same amount when playing the tape back. Basically, it would be the same thing that DNR does except it would be on all the time.

Bought this watch in Sydney in 1981. Absolutely loved it and still have it somewhere although it’s nonfunctional, and apparently can’t be repaired. Would love to have it going again…

10:37 your mom must have made a technology connection!

Please dont use the cordless drill/screwdriver for mounting the screws. You risk ripping the threads. Dont do it!

nice if have the jap version nazond parimid the same gameplay

ES Elevated Series?

Merci pour cette vidéo ! Cela ne semble pas si compliqué finalement. Un grand merci. J’ai cependant une question : comment savez-vous que chaque tube a besoin de 30mV ? Où avez vous eu cette information ??? Tous les tubes 6L6 ont besoin de 30mV ou il faut mesurer ça quelque part ?? Pouvez-vous l’expliquer s’il vous plaît. Merci. 🙏

I've just removed my old liner, am measuring, will be doing this annoying job in a few weeks!

And keep it mind. Not many Type 1 or even Chrome Tapes have equal quality, even to older ones. Using with a phone is not a bad idea. But using with an lightning Adapter for the iPhone, can be bit finicky if you hear few buzz noises. Maybe USB C is fine for Phones or tablets. I think its Better recommended to plug on PC in order to record from better digital source to the Cassette deck. Nothing wrong using with phones but maybe if the phone has an built in AUX output, it should be perfectly fine. By using NR really much depends how the deck performs, which not all decks are equal to the Process. It could be either to the Tapehead azimuth that sounded muffled, less of the issue. But mostly if the encoding isnt excatly compatible to its recording process using other decks. Thats also the case with good Prerecorded Tapes if its gonna be either sound muffled to previous decks but sound good on one specific deck that sounds accurate. Its always about a fitting gear and its kinda annoying when the NR process doesnt sound correct. Thats all i wanna say about for few Recording notes for good quality Decks and Tapes

Yeah...I got me one of them...but a 1970's version.

Still use the one we bought 1976 daily. Built like a tank and works perfect. I have had to adjust the thermostat but never the spring lift - now I am curious and will look at that, it may need adjustment after 48 years.

lol u close ur visor like it stole something from you

Excellent video I use your video to fix mine! it was a piece of cake with your video as a reference!

I heard you can do 125 mb cards

I have a Numark equalizer that I bought in the 70s, and it does have the blinking frequency lights. I just ordered a manual for it, but I still want to learn how to set the knobs for the best sound.

You made it look easy..ill have to try myself next time i need to replace tubes.

How do I open the battery pack

The consumer market Dolby systems was bad. The professional type A and SR worked very well. Cassette decks with DBX was way better than the Dolby B/C ones. They even experimented with DBX coded vinyl records, which sounded awesome. They had very good dynamic range, and no noise or crackle. Too bad they didn't make it to the market, because then CD's came out.

I wish Casio make a module with same functionality. I really love the way they implemented the analog clock to adjust the alarms. and that little clock is very clear to read

Awesome!

Couple of things. First, turning the record bias up all the way like it appears you did will definitely dull out the high end. To set it correctly, tune an FM tuner in between stations with muting off and let that be the source into your deck. (It's pink noise.) Since it's a 3-head, you can monitor changes off the tape; so adjust the bias while listening to hear the best high frequencies. Switch between source and tape on your cassette deck to check it. Next, always under-record a little bit. If you push the loudest parts up so that the peaks hit or exceed the Double-D logo, you'll possibly saturate the tape, which means a dull high end. Lastly, I don't know if your Sony has it, but many decks from that era had a calibration tone that you could use (I think it was 400Hz) to set the Dolby tracking. If that's available, use it. I think you will notice a significant difference if you do these things.
