Notes:
1. With some tapes, a squeaky noise is produced when the tape is topped automatically. This is due to the tape protection function, and not
a malfunction.
2. Do not use 120-minute tapes, for the tape is too thin and gets easily tangled.
3. This system is microprocessor-controlled, so malfunction may occur due to external noise or interference noise. In such a case, unplug
the power cord, plug it and turn power on again.
4. Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful against contact cleaners containing oil, for they
may deform the plastic components.
