Types of Cassette Tapes

 

 

 

Cautions regarding handling

Do not touch the surface of the tape or pull the tape out of the cassette.

Tape spooled loosely around the hubs is likely to jam in the pinch rollers and capstans. Before loading the tape into the cassette tray, take up the slack in the tape as shown below.

This cassette deck unit incorporates an Automatic Tape Detection function. This mechanism uses the tape-type detection holes to distinguishes which type of tape was inserted, and sets the bias and equalizer to the optimum settings for that tape automatically.

The following types of tapes may be used with this cassette deck unit.

Normal tape
