"PRECAUTIONS WITH CASSETTE TAPE
TYPE OF CASSETTE TAPE
Use a normal tape, as detailed in the following table, which provides the
recording time you desire.
TYPE
Recording | One side
time
Both sides
We recommend you not to use C-120 cassette tape.
C-120 cassette tape is
thinner, consequently a greater danger exists of faults arising from loose or
curled tape, and variations in tension.
If a tape is played several times continuously, especially if thin tape (C-90 or
C-120) is used, the tape might be wound too tightly on the reel which may
cause the tape speed to fluctuate.
In order to avoid this, it is recommend-
ed to tap the cassette several times lightly on the table-top which will
loosen the tape on the reel.
However, the tape should not be too loose.
Especially after fast forwarding or rewinding a C-90 or C-120 cassette, the
slack should be taken up by inserting a pencil or ball-point pen in the spin-
dle hole and tightening the tape to prevent looping.
PROTECTION
AGAINST ACCIDENTAL
ERASURE
If the tabs on the rear of the cassette are punched out (by a screwdriver or
similar tool) the recordings can be protected against accidental erasure.
If side "A'' of the cassette is to be protected, punch out tab ""A''. When
both sides are to be protected, punch out both tabs.
(See diagram 60.)
In order to keep this unit in its optimum operating condition, clean the
heads,
capstan
and
pressure
roller periodically with
a cleaning stick
moistened with alcohol or methylated spirits.
These are easily accessible if
the cassette lid is opened (depress the Eject button 62) with the Playback
button @ pressed.
(See diagram 6i)) Never use sharp or metallic in-
struments or tools for cleaning these parts.
The easiest way to clean is to use a Hitachi head cleaning cassette tape.
Hitachi Ultra-Dynamic Cassette is provided with two pieces of head clean-
ing tapes on both ends of the tape; therefore, all acccumulated dirt and
oxide particles are removed automatically at the beginning and end of the
tape.
