DEMAGNETIZING

THE

When

heads

become

magnetized,

will

be

lost

during

recording

or

may

also

occur.

The

heads

shouid

be

regularly

de-

magnetized

with

a

head

demagnetizer,

which

can

be

purchased

at

most

audio

stores.

When

the

following

items

before

loading

tape:

ls

the

tape

loose,

or

is

some

of

the

tape

outside

the

If

some

of

is

loose

or

projecting

outside

the

cassette

shell,

the

tape

may

not

load

properly

between

the

capstan

and

This

will

pravant

the

tape

from

operating

properly,

and

may

even

damage

the

itself,

To

prevent

this,

insert

a

pencil

into

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.

Ramove

this

stopper

when

loading

the

Cassette

and

replace

it

after

using

the

cassette.

Are

the

accidental

prevention

tabs

intact?

These

allow

you

to

prevent

important

recordings

from

being

erased

accidentally.

When

the

tab

on

shell

is

broken

off

(Fig.

it

is

not

possible

to

activate

the

recording

function,

so

value

able

will

not

be

erased

by

mistake.

To

rerecord

on

a

cassette

whose

tab

has

been

broken

off,

simply

stick

a

piece

of

doubled

adhesive

tape

over

the

hole

(Fig.

When

using

(High/CrO2}

tapes,

be

careful

not

to

block

the

an

dis-

torts

the

fear

of

sound

distortion,

irritating

Selecting

fine

audio

equipment

such

as

the

unit

you've

just

pur-

chased

is

only

the

start

of

your

musical

enjoyment.

Now

it's

time

to

consider

how

you

can

maximize

the

fun

and

excitement

your

equip-

ment

offers.

This

manufacturer

and

the

Electronic

Industries

Association's

Consumer

Electronics

Group

want

you

to

get

the

most

oul

of

your

equipment

by

playing

it

at

a

safe

level.

One

that

lets

the

sound

come

through

loud

and

clear

without

annoying

blar-

ing

or

distortion-and,

most

importantly,

without

affecting

your

sen-

sitive

hearing.

Sound

can

be

deceiving.

Over

time

your

hearing

“comfort

level”

adapts

to

higher

volumes

of

sound.

So

what

sounds

“normal”

can

actually

be

loud

and

harmful

to

your

hearing.

Guard

against

this

by

setting

your

equipment

at

a

safe

level

BEFORE

your

hearing

adapts,

To

establish

a

safe

level:

@

Start

your

volume

control

at

a

low

setting.

@

Slowly

increase

the

sound

until

you

can

hear

it

comfortably

and

clearly,

and

without

distortion.

Once

you

have

established

a

comfortable

sound

level:

@

Set

the

dial

and

leave

it

there.

Taking

a

minute

to

do

this

now

will

help

to

prevent

hearing

dam-

age

or

loss

in

the

future.

After

all,

we

want

you

listening

for

a

life-

time.

We

Want

You

Listening

For

A

Lifetime

Used

wisely.

your

new

sound

equipment

will

provide

a

lifetime

of

fun

and

enjoyment.

Since

hearing

damage

from

loud

noise

is

often

undetectable

until

it

is

too

late,

this

manufacturer

and

the

Electronic

Industries

Association's

Consumer

Electronics

Group

recommend

you

avoid

prolonged

exposure

to

excessive
