About cassette tapes for the XR-7
Suitable types of cassette tape
The XR-7 is designed to use high-position cassette tapes (Chrome, type II), and will give the
best performance when used with tapes such as Maxell XLII or TDK SA cassettes. We
recommend thatyou use either these tapes or other tapes of equivalent quality. Since C-120
cassettes use thinner tape, they are not suitable for multitrack: recording, where repeated
recording and playback takes place. Avoid using anything longer than a C-90 with the XR-7.
Using the erase-protect tabs
Cassette tapes have "tabs" that can be broken off to prevent valuable recordings from being
accidentally erased. Since the XR-7 uses all four tracks as a single side, break off the tabs for
both side A and side B to prevent a completed recording from accidental erasure.
If you later decide to record over the tape, you apply a piece of tape (duct tape or electrician's
tape, etc.) over the broken-off tab holes so that the cassette can be re-recorded.
