track. The blank spaces between tracks let you locate
the track easily with the Multi-AMS function (see page
8). Also, use this function to eliminate only unwanted
portions on the tape.

has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.
Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.
On placement

ventilation holes on the bottom.
