•
When noise occurs between tunes
•
With silent parts found within tunes

Concerning cassette tapes

Selection of cassette tapes
Tapes can get caught on the capstans. Use caution with the following
types of tapes.
Cassette tapes exceeding 100 minutes
Tapes are made of a thin film material. Do not repeatedly advance
and stop the tape, fast-forward it or rewind it.
Endless-tapes
For this unit, it is recommended to use tapes which are appropriate to
the auto reverse mechanism.
Always read the instructions provided with your tapes.

To re-record on a protected cassette

•
In high temperature (35°C or higher) or high humidity (80% or
