Tape type detection

The CC 820 M is equipped with automatic tape type detection.

The rear face of the cassette features code slots, as shown in the diagram below.

The tape deck uses these slots to detect the type of tape in the cassette, and then sets the bias and equalisation level to suit.

Note:

Some metal tape cassettes do not have the correct code slots. These cassettes are sensed by the machine as 'CHROME' cassettes. This may result in distorted recordings.

Record / erase protect tabs

When you make a recording all the music previously on the tape is automatically erased (overwritten). To prevent the danger of accidentally erasing precious recordings, cassettes are fitted with tabs on the rear face which can be broken out to prevent overwriting, using a small screwdriver or similar tool. A separate tab is provided for each side of the cassette (side A and side B).

The diagram below shows how to break out the tab for side A.

If you remove the record / erase tab but subsequently wish to re-use the cassette, simply apply a piece of adhesive tape over the open slot to seal it again. The diagram below shows how to re-seal the slot for side A.

It is now possible to record new material onto the cassette, or erase what is already on it.
