CASSETTE OPERATION

This set has 2 tape decks. Deck A is a playback only deck and Deck B is a record and playback deck. You may make recordings only on Deck B. All of the tape buttons (except the Cassette Pause Button and Cassette Stop/Eject Button) operate in the same fashion. To activate a feature, you press the button all the way down so that it stays in its depressed position when you release it. To deactivate the feature, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.

FAST FORWARD AND REWIND

For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the Cassette Fast Forward Button or Cassette Rewind Button.

PAUSE

The Cassette Pause Button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running while the Pause Button is depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.

AUTOMATIC STOP

This set has a built-in automatic stop feature and the tape mechanism will stop playing or recording and shut itself off when it has reached the end of the tape.

MANUAL STOP

The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.

CASSETTES

CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION

The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on the performance of this set.

Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.

Use only well-known brands of tapes.

Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.

This set is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure to use name brand normal cassette tapes. You may use the above (special) tapes, but the best sound quality is from normal bias tapes.

CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING

Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For more information on these tabs, see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST

ERASURE on page 17.
