Preventing accidental erasure

To prevent accidental erasure, slide the tab to the left to

open the hole. The tape cannot be recorded even if the
REC button is pressed. See Fig. A.

To allow recording on the tape again, slide the tab to
the right to close the hole. See Fig. B.

Handling digital audio tapes

Digital audio tapes are precisely constructed to record

and play back highly accurate data. Never open the
cassette lid and touch the tape. Touching the tape may

damaged it.

Do not use scratched, dirty or wrinkled tapes. Use of

such tapes may cause sound dropouts or damage the
head.

Storing digital audio tapes

Always keep tapes that are not in use in their cases.

Avoid storing tapes in direct sunlight, near heat
generating equipment or in humid locations.

Avoid storing tapes in dusty locations.

Do not store near strong magnetic fields (e.g. near
electric clocks, toys using magnets, etc.). Magnetic
fields will damage recordings.

Do not drop or subject the tape to strong vibrations.

Rewind the tape after use. If there is any slack in the

tape, rewind again.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

Most digital sources contain a copy prohibit code. This
unit utilizes the serial copy management system that
permits digital-to-digital recording for at least one
generation.
Even when a tape which has been recorded from analog
sources is dubbed, this system regards the source as a
digital source containing the copy prohibit code since the
dubbing was performed through the A/D converter, and
permits digital-to-digital recording only for one generation.
