You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking
off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If
you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with
plastic tape.
Two Different Tape Speeds
Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode (Standard
Play) or LP mode (Long Play). The table below shows the
maximum recording/playback time using E-60, E-120, E-180
or E-240 tapes in each mode.
