To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the tape tab from side A or B as illustrated.

Break off the tape tab

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Before placing a tape in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as playback, stop and fast-winding etc. frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing tape. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing tape.
