A Word about cassette tapes
Handling :
@ Do not touch the tape with your fingers as high frequency
signals cannot be recorded in places which are not clean.
Dirty tapes may also cause distortion or sound loss during
playback.
@ Donotleave the cassette tape near equipment which gener-
ates a magnetic field. (TVs, speaker systems, etc.)
Tape slack and leader tape advancement
Tape slack can cause the tape to twist or tangle around the cap-
stan and pinch roller and ruin important recordings. Before us-
ing a cassette tape, take up tape slack with a-pencil.
Most cassette tapes include clear leader tape at the beginning.
As recording is impossible on this leader tape, it should be ad-
vanced before recording is begun.
Storage
© Always put the cassette tape back into its plastic case after
using it. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight,
heat (stoves, etc.) and equipment which generates a mag-
netic field (TVs, speaker systems, etc.).
@ Store the cassette tape with the tape taken up at the fixed
speed of recording or playback. When the tape is not taken
up in anorderly manner (in other words, fast forwarded or re-
wound), the tape might stretch or warp.
@ if you are not going to use the cassette tape for a long time,
rewind or fast forward the tape once.in a while. This is to pre-
vent music signals from imprinting themselves over other
music signals when tape surfaces are in close contactfor a
long time. Rewinding or fast forwarding the tape also pre-
vents moisture condensation.
Regarding cassette tapes
@ Werecommend the use of cassette tapes specifically made
for recording hi-fi music.
@ We do not recommend the use of C-120 (120 minute) cas-
sette tapes. The tape is very thin and can easily twist or
tangle around the capstan and pinch roller.
@ We do not recommend the use of cassette tapes of poor
quality. You will not be able to fully utilize the capability of
your stereo cassette deck with this type of cassette tape.
@ We do not recommend the use of ferri-chrome cassette
tapes for recording.
