CARE AND MAINTENANCE

SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
When a new recording is made, any program
material previously recorded is automatically		￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿
erased and only the new recording remains. To	￿￿￿
safeguard valuable recordings from being erased	￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿
accidentally, the cassette and the deck are
equipped with a special device.
On the back of the cassette there is an erase
prevention tab on each side. To prevent
accidental erasing, break out these tabs with a
screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to be
protected, break out the tab on the left side with
the side desired facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has been
broken, place a piece of adhesive tape over that
area.		￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

button cannot be depressed.

CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS

Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side. Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if the problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.

If there is any slack in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate it clockwise until all slack is taken up.
