HOW TO HANDLE CASSETTE TAPES
CHECK CASSETTE BEFORE USE
Bear in mind the following points before loading a cassette
tape.
is the tape loose, or is some of the tape sticking out
of the cassette?
If some of the tape is projecting outside the cassette shell or
if the tape is loose, it may not feed between the capstan and
pinch roller. This will prevent the tape from being transported
or damage the tape itself. In cases like these, insert a pencil
into the reel hole and take up the slack. (Fig. A) Some cassette
tapes
come
with a plastic or thick paper stopper which
prevents tape slack. Remove this stopper when loading the
tape and replace it after having used the cassette.
How can you prevent accidental erasure?
Acassette is provided with accidental erasure prevention tabs
sO that important recordings will not be erased accidentally.
When the tab (Fig. B) on the cassette shell is broken out with
the tip of a screwdriver, it will not be possible to activate the
recording function even by pressing the recording (REC}
button, so valuable recordings will not be erased in error.
To re-record on a cassette whose tabs have been broken out,
simply stick a piece of doubled adhesive tape over the tab
areas, as shown in Fig. C.
In case of metal tape or chrome tape, take sufficient care that
the detection hole is not blocked.
When
this hole is blocked,
the automatic
tape selector
mechanism does not operate correctly,
NOTE:
The accidental erasure prevention tabs are located at the top
left on both sides A and B (1 and 2), so that material on each
side can be prevented from being erased in error.

TIPS ON USING CASSETTE TAPES
@
Leader tape (which does not allow sound to be recorded
over it}is provided at the beginning of a cassette tape. Start
recording after allowing the tape to run for approx. 5
seconds so that the feader tape clears the recording head.
@
Donotleave a cassette tape exposed to the environment.
Store the cassette in its case so that dust and dirt do not
adhere to the tape after use, and so that the tape is
prevented from becoming slack. Choose a location which
is not exposed to the effects of magnetism, dust, dirt or oil
for storing the tapes.
@
Because C-120 tapes are sa thin, they easily jam in the
pinch roller and capstan, and they are susceptible to other
trouble such as irregular winding. Try not to use them with
this unit. Use tapes of 90 minutes or Jess.
