TAPE PRECAUTIONS
Recommended Cassette Tapes
In order to obtain optimum performance ith the
built-in cassette tape deck. It is essential to use only
high quality cassette tape deck. The bias and
equaization of this tape deck is adjusted to yield
excel-lent results if used ith 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 suject to mechanical instability and prop-
er, constant tape tension cannot be controlled.
Checking the Cassette (Slack Tape)
Make sure that the cassette tape has no slack prior
to inserting it into the cassette
compartment.
Unless the tape is taut, it may ind
around the head mechanism and
trouble may result. Use a pencil as
sho n to take up slack on one of
the reels.
Record Button Interlock (Accidental Erasure

Remove the tab as illustrated so that the record
mode does not function hen the record but-
ton is pressed.
To record on a cassette once tabs have been
