Concerning Cassette Tapes
Cassette tapes exceeding 90 minutes
These tapes are handy for their long play­
back and recording tíme but be careful
about repeatedly stopping and starting, re­
winding and fast forwarding these tapes in
short intervals as they are thin, tend to
stretch and may become entangled in the
machine.
OK
If the tape loosens,
take up the slack by
turning the reel in the
proper direction.
NO
Do not handle, nor
pull the tape out of
the cassette.
Pencil
Use normal types of cassette tapes only. If
other tapes are used, you may not obtain
optimum performance.
Cassette tapes, both recorded and unre­
corded, should not be stored in locations
with high temperature, high humidity or
direct sunlight. Never place a recorded
cassette near a magnetic source,such as a
magnet or a TV set as this may affect tape
performance.
Record prevention tabs
Cassettes are provided with plastic tabs
(as illustrated) to prevent accidental eras­
ing of a recording.
Recordings can be made only when the
tab is intact. There is one tab for each side
(track) of the tape. To preserve a valuable
recording, the tab(s) should be broken off
with a small screwdriver.
If you want to record on a track whose tab
has already been broken off, use cello­
phane tape to cover the hole, and record.
