Lenoxx Electronics CD-1492 - Manual (Page 11)

CASSETTE OPERATION
NOTE: All of the tape buttons (except the CASSETTE PAUSE button and CASSETTE STOP/
EJECT button) operate in the same fashion. To activate a feature, you press the
button all the way down so that it stays in its depressed position when you
release it. To deactivate the feature, press CASSETTE STOP/EJECT button.
FAST FORWARD AND REWIND
For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the CASSETTE FAST FORWARD
button or CASSETTE REWIND button.
PAUSE
The CASSETTE PAUSE button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is
temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running while the PAUSE button is
depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.
AUTOMATIC STOP
This set has a built-in automatic stop feature and the tape mechanism will stop playing
or recording and shut itself off when it has reached the end of the tape.
MANUAL STOP
The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette STOP/EJECT
button.
CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on
the performance of this set.
Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily
become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes
will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
• Use only well-known brands of tapes.
• Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme
thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
• This set is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure
to use name brand normal cassette tapes. You may use the above (special)
tapes, but the best sound quality is from normal bias tapes.
CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING
Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with
previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in
the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For
more information on these tabs, see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST
ERASURE on page 15.
