TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the qual- ity of the recording. We recommend extended-range or low noise Type 1 regular length (60- or 90-minute) nor- mal-bias cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and easily tangle.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To record over a cassette tape, sim- ply record as usual. The cassette deck records over the previous re- cording.

To erase a cassette tape, insert the supplied erasing plug into the MIC jack and press RECORD.
