Gare & Use
Concerning Cassette Tapes
■ Selection of cassette tapes
Cassette tape exceeding 90 minutes
These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording time
but be careful about repeatedly stopping and starting, rewinding
and fast forwarding these tapes in short intervals as they are thin,
tend to stretch and may become entangled in the machine.
Do not use the following types of tapes in this unit.
Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE HI)
This type emphasizes the high-frequency range, making it impossi¬
ble to obtain a flat frequency response.
Metal tape without detection holes in the cassette
Recordings will be very distorted. (There is no problem during
playback, however.)
■ To prevent erasure of recorded sounds
Remove the erase-prevention tabs (thus preventing recording).
■ Tape slack
Tape slack may cause the tape to break.
■ Improper tape storage
You can damage tape if you store it in the following ways;
• In high temperature [35°C (95°F) or higher] or high humidity (80%
or higher) areas.
• In a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc.).
This can erase a recording.
•In direct sunlight.
To re-record on a protected cassette
Cover the slot with adhesive tape.
