CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassettes tapes you use will have a direct effect
on the performance of this unit.
Low quality tapes tend to break and stretch and a broken tape can easily
become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched
tapes will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
*
Use only well-known brands of tapes.
*
Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme
thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
*
This unit is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be
sure to use name brand normal cassette tapes.

MPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
*
After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tape are used,
the sound during playback may become muffled or in extreme cases,
almost inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE MACHINE ITSELF but
merely a deposit of oxide and other contaminating element on the tape head.
The easiest way to overcome the problem is by using a head-cleaning
cassette.
Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully and DO NOT
OVER-USE as this may cause undue wear.
Don't attempt to scrape the contamination away with a sharp implement.
*
Other common causes of trouble are:
Ê
Tapes jamming leading to uneven speed during playback.
Ë
Tapes tangling where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the
following precautions:
n
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette
center window. Take-up these loose layers using a pencil or ballpoint pen
before inserting the cassette into the machine.
