About cassette tapes
• To prevent accidental erasure, break off the plastic tabs
on the cassette tape after recording with a screwdriver or
other pointed tool.
To record on the tape again, cover the tab openings with
adhesive tape, etc.
• 120-minute or longer tapes are extremely thin and easily
deformed or damaged. They are not recommended.
• Take up any slack in the tape with a pencil or similar tool
before use. Slack tape may break or jam in the mechanism.
• When recording an externally connected source via the VIDEO/
AUX jacks, the small dot near the 5 lights up continuously in
the display if the input level is too high.
In this case, stop recording and adjust the input level until the
dot lights intermittently (page 25).
• "Can't REC" is displayed if you attempt to record on a tape with
the plastic tabs broken off.
