SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE When a new recording is made, any pro-

gram material previously recorded is auto- matically erased and only the new record- ing remains. To safeguard valuable record- ings from being erased accidentally, the cassette and the deck are equipped with a special device.

On the back of the cassette there is an erase prevention tab on each side. To pre- vent accidental erasing, break out these tabs with a screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to be protected, break out the tab on the left side with the side desired facing you.

To record on a tape in which the tab has been broken, place a piece of adhesive tape over that area.

NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record button cannot be depressed.

CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS

Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of record- ing time on each side. Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use

only high quality tapes. If a problem devel- ops, check the unit ﬁrst with another cas- sette to determine if the problem is with the

cassette, and not with the unit.

If there is any slack in the tape in the cas- sette, it should be removed before inserting

the cassette. Place a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate clockwise until all slack is

taken up.
