Notes
• Do not insert the cassette forcibly. The unit may be
damaged.
• Do not eject/load the cassette in a place subject to light.
The internal sensor of the unit may operate incorrectly
if too much light falls on the unit.
• When inserting a cassette, hold the back edge of the
cassette in the center and push it until the cassette is
inserted deep into the unit. If you hold the ends, the
cassette may not be loaded properly.
• If the cassette does not load or is loaded only halfway,
eject it once, then insert it again. In such a case, if you
insert the cassette forcibly, the cassette may not be
loaded properly or malfunctions may occur.
• It takes a few seconds for the unit to recognize the
cassette and find the proper location on the tape being
loaded.
