HOW TO HANDLE CASSETTE TAPES
Bear in mind the following points before load-
Ing cassette tapes.
Is the tape loose, or is some
of the tape outside the
cassette?
If some of the tape is projecting outside the cassette shell
or if it 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 pen-
cil into the reel hole and take up the slack (Fig. ©). Some
cassette tapes come with a plastic or thick paper stop-
per 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?
A cassette is provided with accidentai erasure preven-
tion tabs so that important recordings will not be erased
accidentally. When the tab (Fig. @) 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 press-
ing the recording 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. @.
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 record-
ed 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 leader tape clears the
recording head.
® Do not leave a cassette tape exposed to the environ-
ment. 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 and oil for storing the tapes.
@ Do not use cassette tapes longer than C-90.
Tapes longer than C-90 are quite thin and easily
jam in the pinch roller and capstan and may also
cause irregular winding. Do not use them in this
unit. Use tapes of 90 minutes or less.
