Cassette tape care
Using the correct type of cassette tapes and taking care of them
will help prevent cassette deck malfunction: In order to take full
advantage of the cassette deck's performance capabilities, fol-
low the precautions outlined on this page.
Avoid touching the tape with your fingers as high frequency sig-
nals cannot be recorded in places which are not clean. Dirty
tapes may also cause distortion or sound loss during playback.
Storage
Always return the cassette tape to its plastic case after use.
Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat (stoves,
heaters etc.) and equipment that generates a magnetic field
(TVs, speaker systems etc.).
Cassette tape types
For the best results during recording, we recommend that cas-
sette tapes specifically made for recording Hi-Fi music be used.
We do not recommend the use of poor quality tapes or C-120
(120 min.) tapes as the tape is very thin and can easily twist or
get tangled around the capstan and pinch roller.
Ferri-chrome cassette tapes are also not recommended for
recording.
Recording defeat tabs
You can protect your tapes from accidental recording by re-
moving the recording defeat tabs (one for each tape side} lo-
cated above the A and B side indicators.
When the recording defeat tabs have been removed, the recor-
ding prevention system will be automatically activated to pro-
tect the tape if the REC PAUSE button is accidentally pressed
during playback.
To re-record over the cassette tape, cover the holes with ad-
hesive tape.
Note:
@ Do not cover the tape position detecting holes as this will
hamper proper operation of the auto tape selector.

Tape slack and leader tape ad-
vancement
Tape slack can cause the tape to twist or tangle around the
capstan and pinch roller and ruinimportant recordings. Be-
fore using a cassette tape, take up tape slack with a pencil.
Most cassette tapes include clear leader tape at the begin-
ning. As recording is impossible on this leader tape, it
should be advanced before recording is begun.
