Erasure Prevention

Cassette tapes are constructed with erasure
prevention niches on the back edge that are
initially covered by break-off tabs.
1. If you wish to protect a recording from

accidental erasure, break off the tab(s)
of the appropriate side(s). It will no
longer be possible to use the recording
button with such a cassette.

2. If at some later date you wish to re-

record the cassette, simply cover the
openings with small pieces of cello-
phane tape.

Tape Slack

Slack in the tape (tape not stretched tightly)
can cause tangling around the pinch roller
and capstan and jam the mechanism.
Remove any tape slack with a pencil or
similar device as shown in the diagram.

Tapes which are Not
Recommended

1. C120 tapes

C120 tape is thin and therefore easily
broken. There is a possibility that tape
could get caught up by the pinch roller
or capstan.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use endless tapes.
