CASSETTE PLAYBACK

Notes on cassette tapes

•Use only type-I normal tapes. The recording/playback characteristics of this unit are those for normal tapes, which have different characteristics from CrO2 and metal tapes.

•The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch roller and the capstan.

•Loose tape may cause trouble. Gently tighten the tape with a pencil as shown in the figure below.

Turn the pencil to take up the slack.
