or

is

of

tape

outside

If

some

of

the

tape

is

projecting

outside

the

cassette

shell

or

if

it

is

loose,

it

may

not

enter

between

the

capstan

and

pinch

roller.

This

will

prevent

the

tape

from

being

supplied

or

damage

the

tape

itself.

In

cases

like

these,

insert

a

pencil

into

the

reel

hole

and

take

up

the

slack

(Fig.

A).

‘Some

cassette

tapes

come

with

a

plastic

paper

stopper

which

prevents

Remove

stopper

when

and

replace

it

after

having

used

the

What

are

the

tabs

for?

A

cassette

is

provided

with

these

tabs

so

that

important

or

otherwise

valuable

will

not

be

erased

accidentally.

When

the

tab

(Fig.

on

the

is

broken

with

the

tip

of

a

screwdriver,

it

will

not

be

possible

to

activate

the

recording

function

even

by

pressing

the

recording

button,

so

valuable

recordings

will

not

be

erased

in

error.

To

re-record

a

cassette

on

which

tabs

have

been

broken

off,

simply

stick

a

piece

of

double

adhesive

tape

over

the

areas,

as

shown

TIPS

ON

USING

CASSETTE

TAPES

@

jt

is

recommended

to

cornpletely

fast

forward

and

fast

reverse

the

tape

before

recording.

This

prevents

the

damage

to

the

cassette

deck

due

to

irregular

wound

tape.

@

Leader

tape

(which

does

not

allow

sound

to

be

recorded

on

it)

is

provided

at

the

beginning

of

a

cassette

tape.

Start

recording

after

allowing

the

tape

to

run

for

about

5

seconds

so

that

the

leader

tape

clears

the

recording

head.

@

Do

not

leave

@

cassette

tape

exposed

to

the

environment.

Store

the

cassette

in

its

case

so

that

dust

and

dirt

do

not

adhere

to

the

tape

after

use,

and

so

that

the

tape

is

prevented

from

becoming

slack.

Choose

a

location

which

is

not

exposed

to

the

effects

of

magnetism,

moisture

dust,

dirt

and

oil

for

storing

the

tapes.

@

Because

C-120

tapes

are

so

thin,

they

easily

jam

in

the

pinch

rolier

and

capstan,

and

they

are

susceptible

to

other

trouble

such

as

irregular

winding.

Try

not

CLEANING

THE

HEADS,

PINCH

ROLLERS

AND

CAPSTANS

The

heads,

pinch

rollers

and

capstans

are

parts

which

are

liable

to

get

dirty

quite

easily.

In

particular,

if

the

heads

are

dirty,

the

high-frequency

components

are

not

reproduced

and

the

stereo

balance

is

impaired,

resulting

in

a

deterioration

of

the

playback

sound.

It

is

therefore

recommended

that

the

head

section

be

cleaned

with

cleaning

fluid

and

use

it

to

wipe

the

heads,

capstans

and

pinch

rollers.

takes

DEMAGNETIZING

THE

HEADS

After

using

the

cassette

deck

over

a

period

of

time,

the

heads

will

become

magnetized.

The

same

effect

is

also

caused

by

bringing

@

screwdriver,

magnet

or

other

magnetized

object

too

close

to

the

heads.

This

causes

loss

of

high-frequency

sound

during

recording

and

playback,

and

is

also

a

cause

of

interference

noise.

The

heads

should

be

regularly

demagnetized

with

a

head

demagnetizer

(eraser)

which

can

be

purchased

at

dealer

shops,

When

demagnetizing

the

heads,

be

sure

the

For

the

when

dusty

or

greasy

with

2

soft

cloth

containing

a

small

amount

of

ordinary

soap.

Then,

wipe

dry

with

a

cloth.

Never

use

volatile

spirits

like

thinners,

benzine

or

aicohol

because

they

will

damage

the
