[2] BEFORE RECORDING AND PLAYING TAPES
Cautions on handling cassette tapes
@C-120 cassette tapes
C-120 (120-minute) cassettes use very thin tape which can
easily get caught on the capstans and pinch rollers. We
recommend not using C-120 tapes.
@ Tape slack
tf the tape is slack, it may get caught in the mechanism
and damaged. Take up any slack in the tape with a pencil,
etc., before loading the cassette.
@ Preventing accidental erasure
© Cassette tapes have tabs for preventing accidental era-
sure. Use @ screwdriver, etc., to break off the tabs to
prevent recordings from being accidentally erased.
*@ To record on a tape whose tabs have been broken. place a
piece of cellophane tape, etc., over the tab holes

WNotes on storing cassette tapes
@ Avoid placing cassette tapes in the following types of
places:
@ Hot or humid places
@ Dusty places
e Places exposed to direct sunlight
@ Near magnetic sources (TVs, speakers, etc.)
@ Store cassette tapes in cases with stoppers to prevent the
tape from getting slack
The D-F10 is equipped with an auto tape selector mechan-
ism which uses the detection holes in the cassette halves to
detect the type of tape and automatically set the most
appropriate recording bias and equalization for that type of
tape.
@ Do not use ferrichrome tapes.
e@ When an old metal tape with no detection holes is used,
the treble will be stressed excessively, so use meta! tapes
with detection holes.
