WHAT
IS
CHROME
TAPE?
A
recording tape is'composed
of
a
thin film of
polyester
or
acetate
to
which
is applied
a
coating
of
magnetic
material.
The
surface
of
the
tape
thus
becomes
coated
over
with
many
minute
sensitive magnetic
partieles.
Iron
oxide
has been
the usual
material
to
coat recording tape.
The chrome
tapes:use
chromium dioxide
in
place
of iron
oxide.
This results
in
a
great
improvement
of
the
frequency
response
and
signal-to-noise
ratio
and
.also reduces
distortion. The
dynamic
range
is
also
significantly
extended.
In
terms
of
frequency
response,
in
particular,
chrome
tape
yields
a
2O
to
30Vo
improvement
over
conven-
tional
tape,
making
it
an
ideal
high-performance
tape
for hi-fi
music recording and playback.
POINTERS FOR CARE
OF
YOUR
CASSETTE TAPES
EXTERNAL TAPE "SLACKS''
OR
SPILLAGE
If
there
is
a
slack
of
tape outside the
cassette, the
tape
may
not
enter
the
space
between
the
capstan
and
the pinch roller properly.
In
such
cases,
to
take
up the
slack, use
a pencil
as
shown
in
Fig.
11,
inserting
it
at
the center
of
one
of
the
spools
and
turning
it
in
the
direction indicated.

PROTECTION
AGAINST ACCIDENTAL
ERASURE
One
unique
feature
of
cassette tapes
is
the pair
of
protective
tabs
to
be
found on
the back
of
every
cassette
case.
If
these are
broken
out
with
a
screwdriver
as
shown
in
Fig. 12, further
recording
will no
longer
be
possible,
because
the
REC
button
cannot
be
de-
pressed
if
this
cassette
is
loaded, and
accidental
erasure becomes
impossible.
Please
use
this
feature
to protect your
valuable recorded
tapes.
\?
Break
out
the
tabs
with
a
screwdriver.
