COMPACT CASSETTE
There are
three
versions
of
the
Compact
Cassette:
The
C60 with a
total
playing
time
of sixty
minutes (thirty
minutes
each side), the
C90, total playing
time
ninety
minutes
(forty-five
minutes each
side)
and
the C120, total
playing
time one hundred
twenty
minutes (sixty
minutes
each side).
Clear leader tape is
attached
to
each end
of the record-
ing tape
in the cassette.
The
ends of
the leader
tape are
permanently secured to hubs
inside
the
cassette;
there-
fore,
the
tape
cannot
pull loose.
No
tape threading
is
necessary
and
the
cassette
housing protects
the
tape
from damage; therefore, the
cassette can
be inserted or
removed
easily
at
any time, not
just
at the beginning
or
end
of the tape.
The tape stops
automatically
when
it
is fully wound
onto the
right or
left hubs in the cassette. Caution-
The
drive mechanism
continues
to operate;
therefore,
return
the Function Knob (9) to the Stop position when
the end
of the tape is reached.
There is a
viewing
window on
each
side of
a cassette.
The
tape
can
be seen
through
this
window
and
a
rough
estimate can
be
made
of the amount of tape still avail-
able for recording or playback.
INSERTING THE CASSETTE

(9) is in the
Stop position.
Remove
the
cassette from the storage
box
and hold the
cassette so that the front (exposed tape
area]
is

yo
u
and
the
full hub
of tape
,
as viewed
through the cas-
sette window,
is
on
your left.
Slide the back ·of
the
cassette
into
the
compartment

spindles
