PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS
All non pre-recorded cassette tapes can be
made record proof. On the back edge of the
cassette can be found two squaretabs, if a
recording is to be protected from accidental
erasure, remove the corresponding tab
applicable to that side of the tape as shown
in the diagram. Use a small screwdriver, nail
file or similiar implement to break the tab.
Once the tab has been removed, recording
on that particular side of the tape will be
prevented,thetape mechanismwilldetectthat
the tab is missing and will prevent the record
key from being pressed.
To record a tape that has its tabs removed,
place a piece of sticky tape over the holes,
this will allow recordings to take place.
Recommended Cassette Tapes
In order to obtain optimum performance with
the built-in cassette tape deck, it is essential
to use only high quality cassette tapes. The
bias and equalization of this tape deck is
adjusted to yield excellent results if used with
brand name tapes. Use C-30, C-60 and C-90
cassette tapes only. We do not recommend
the C-120 cassettes because they can be
subject to mechanical instability and proper,
constant tape tension cannot be controlled.
Checking the Cassette (Slack Tape)
Make sure that the
cassette tape has no
slackpriorto inserting
it into the cassette
compartment. Use a
pencil as shown to
take up slack on one
of the reels.
