TIPS ON CASSETES
CHECKING THE CASSETTE
Make sure that the cassette tape has no slack prior to
inserting it into the recorder. Unless the tape is taut, it
may wind around the head mechanism and trouble may
result. Use a pencil to wind the reels as necessary to
take up any tape slack.
CASSETTE TPE SELECTION
The quality conditin of cassette tapes used will have a direct effect on the performance of this
unit. low quality extended length tapes such as C90 (45 minutes per side) or longer are not
recommended. They tend to break, stretch and can easily become entangled in the drive
mechanism causing major damage. Use only NORMAL "tape A" or "type 1" cassette tape.
SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASING
To protect valuable recording from accidental erasing, the
tape deck and the cassette are equipped with standard
safety features. To protect the recorded material, break
out the tabs on the top of the cassette which correspond
to the side to be protected.
Note: Do not force the record ubton when the cassette
record-protec tab has been removed. This may result in
damage to the unit.
To record on a cassette whose tab have been broken off, simply attach adhesive tape over the
tab opening.
