CARE AND MAINTENANCE

SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
When a new recording is made, any program
material previously recorded is automatically
erased and only the new recording remains. To
safeguard valuable recordings from being erased
accidentally, the cassette and the deck are
equipped with a special device.
Tab for side 2
On the back of the cassette there is an erase
prevention tab on each side. To prevent
accidental erasing, break out these tabs with a
screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to be
Tab for side 1
protected, break out the tab on the left side with
Tab
the side desired facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has been
broken, place a piece of adhesive tape over that
area.
Break out the tab
NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record
button cannot be depressed.
Cover with tape
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side.
Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only
high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if the
problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.
If there is any slack in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place a pencil in one
of the hubs and rotate it clockwise until all slack is taken up.
