CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassettes tapes you use
will have a direct effect on the performance of this unit.
Low quality tapes tend to break and stretch and a broken
tape can easily become entangled in the drive mechanism,
causing major damage. Stretched tapes will run at uneven
speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
Use only well-known brands of tapes.

!
Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not
recommended. The extreme thinness
result in breakage or other failures.
!
This unit is not designed for CrO2 , Fe-Cr or METAL tape
use. Therefore, be sure to use name brand normal
cassette tapes.
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
!
After a period of time, especially when inexpensive
brands of tape are used, the sound during playback may
become "muffled" or in extreme cases, almost inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE
MACHINE ITSELF but merely a deposit of oxide and
other contaminating element on the tape head.
The easiest way to overcome the problem is by using a
head-cleaning cassette.
Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner
carefully and DO NOT OVER-USE as this may cause
undue wear.
Don't attempt to scrape the contamination away with a
sharp implement.
!
Other common causes of trouble are:
!
Tapes jamming leading to uneven speed during
playback.
!
Tapes tangling where the tape wraps itself around vital
parts of the mechanism.
!
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you
should take the following precautions:
!
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible
through the cassette center window. Take-up these
loose layers using a pencil or ballpoint pen before
inserting the cassette into the machine.
!
If the cassette feels tight while performing the
operation, the tape may be jamming due to "ridges" in
the winding of the tape (visible through the center
window). These may be removed in most cases by
fast winding the cassette from one end to the other
and back again. Or the tape may be permanently
damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as
this may cause your set to break.
NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE TAPES
!
Do not put a cassette near a magnetic field, such as a
TV set, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the
tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
!
Do not store cassette for any length of time in a
hot,moist or dusty place.
