Memorex MP3134BLU - Manual (Page 17)

SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
When a new recording is made, any pro-
gram material previously recorded is auto-
matically erased and only the new record-
ing remains. To safeguard valuable record-
ings from being erased accidentally, the
cassette and the deck are equipped with a
special device.
On the back of the cassette there is an
erase prevention tab on each side. To pre-
vent accidental erasing, break out these
tabs with a screwdriver. If only one side of
the tape is to be protected, break out the
tab on the left side with the side desired
facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has
been broken, place a piece of adhesive
tape over that area.
NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record button cannot be depressed.
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of record-
ing time on each side. Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time
on each side are not recommended. Use
only high quality tapes. If a problem devel-
ops, check the unit first with another cas-
sette to determine if the problem is with the
cassette, and not with the unit.
If there is any slack in the tape in the cas-
sette, it should be removed before inserting
the cassette. Place a pencil in one of the
hubs and rotate clockwise until all slack is
taken up.
