can be played with uneven speed and the
sound will be distorted.
• Use only tapes from known manufacturers.
Tapes with playback/recording time of 120
min (C-120) are not recommended to use
with this system, as their too thin tape can be
torn and cause other damages.
• Don't use CrO 2 , Fe-Cr or metal tapes with
this device, use usual tapes of known manu-
facturers.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
TAPES
After some time, especially if you use cheap
tapes, the sound may become weak, some-
times almost inaudible. In most cases this is
NOT THE FAULT OF THE SYSTEM, but the
result of gathering oxidized metal and other
dirt on the magnetic head. The simplest way
to solve this problem is to buy a cleaning cas-
sette. Carefully read the instructions sup-
plied with it and DO NOT OVERUSE IT, as this
may cause excessive wearing of the magnet-
ic head. Do not try to remove the deposits
with a sharp object.
Other possible causes of problems:
• The tape jams, which causes uneven play-
back speed.
• Tape is winding around the tape drive ele-
ments.
To avoid such problems, take the following
measures:
• Check for loosely fitting tape layers using a
window in the cassette center part. Before
inserting the tape into the cassette compart-
ment, tighten the slack with a pencil or ball-
point pen.
