CASSETTE TAPES

• Handling Precautions
• C-120 Cassettes
C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as they use a very thin tape
base which may become tangled around the capstan or pinchroller.
• Tape Slack
This cassette deck incorporates an automatic tape slackness preventive
mechanism, but it can not prevent such a slackness as shown below.
Remove it with a pencil or the like prior to use.

AUTO TAPE SELECT FEATURE

the optimum bias and equalization for the tape in use. This is accomplished by detection of
tape type detection holes in the cassette housing.

To begin recording, press the RECORD and PLAY button simultaneously. If only the

When this button is pressed under the REC PAUSE state, the mode shifts to the Auto Rec
Mute. when this button is pressed for making a non-recorded part between two
melodies, about 5 sec of non-recorded part can automatically be created.

• Storage Precautions
Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject to:
• Extremely high temperature or excessive moisture
• Excessive dust
• Direct sunlight
• Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers)
To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases with hub stops
• Accidental Erasure Prevention
Every cassette has erasure prevention tabs for each side. To protect your valuable
recorded tapes from accidental or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the
appropriate side with a screwdriver or other tools.
To record on a tape with the erasure prevention tabs removed, cover the tab holes
with plastic tape.
• If a tape without tape type detection holes is used, the deck will
automatically adjust itself for normal tapes.
