cHEcK CASSETTE BEFORE USE
Check the following items betore loading a cassette tape:
Is the tape loose, or is some of the tape outside
the cassette?
If some of the tape is loose or projecting outside the cassette
shell, the tape may not properly enter between the capstan and
pinch roller. This will prevent the tape from being supplied
properly, and may even damage the tape itself. In such cases,
insert a pencil into the reel hole and take up the slack (Fig. A).
Some cassette tapes come with a plastic or thick paper stopper
to prevent the tape from becoming slack. Remove this stopper
when loading the cassette and replace it after using the
cassette.
Are the accidental erasure prevention tabs intact?
These tabs allow you to prevent important recordings from
being erased accidentally. When the tab on the cassette shell is
broken off (Fig. B), it is not possible to activate the recording
function, so valuable recordings will not be erased by mistake.
To re-record on a cassette whose tab has been broken off,
simply stick a piece of doubled adhesive tape over the hole
(Fig. C).
When using TYPE IV (Metal) or TYPE II (HIGH/Cr02) tapes, be
careful not to block the sensor holes with the tape (Fig. D, Fig.
E). If the holes are blocked, the automatic tape selector
mechanism will not operate correctly.
NOTES:
• The accidental erasure prevention tab for each side is the
one located on the top left when the side that you want to
protect is facing you.
• When breaking off the tab, do not use a magnetized
screwdriver.
AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTOR FUNCTION
This cassette deck is equipped with an automatic tape selector
function which utilizes the sensor holes on the tape cassette to
determine the type of tape being used. The cassette deck is
then set to match the tape recording bias and equalization.
NOTES:
• When using TYPE IV (Metal) tapes, make sure that the
tapeshave sensor holes.
• Make sure that the sensor holes on the cassette are not
blocked," otherewise the tape selector mechanism will not
function properly.
• Do not use TYPE III (FeCr) tapes.
