CASSETTE TAPES

•Handling Precautions

•C-120 Cassettes

C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as they use a very thin tape base which may become tangled around the capstan or pinchroller.

•Tape Slack

This cassette deck incorporates an automatic tape slackness preventive mechanism, but it can not prevent such a slackness as shown below. Remove it with a pencil or the like prior to use.

•Storage Precautions

Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject to:

•Extremely high temperature or excessive moisture

•Excessive dust

•Direct sunlight

•Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers)

To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases with hub stops

•Accidental Erasure Prevention

Every cassette has erasure prevention tabs for each side. To protect your valuable recorded tapes from accidental or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the appropriate side with a screwdriver or other tools.

To record on a tape with the erasure prevention tabs removed, cover the tab holes with plastic tape.

AUTO TAPE SELECT FEATURE

This Stereo Cassette Deck contains an Auto Tape Select feature which automatically selects the optimum bias and equalization for the tape in use. This is accomplished by detection of tape type detection holes in the cassette housing.

•If a tape without tape type detection holes is used, the deck will automatically adjust itself for normal tapes.
