Introduction to Magazines and Cassettes

When purchasing DDS cassettes:

■Always use cassettes labeled “DDS Media Recognition System” in the drive. To use the full potential of the drive, make sure that they are DDS-4 cassettes.

■Never use DAT cassettes because the media is not certified and they can have a different specification that can cause them to jam in the mechanism (see Chapter 1 for cassette specifications).
