CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
TO HELP AVOID TANGLES

PROTECTING RECORDINGS FROM BEING ERASED.

Loose ape may jam or get tangled in the cassette recorder.
With a hexagonal pencil or a similar tool, gently tu

the pencil

to tighten the tape, as shown opposite.

If the spool feels tight when taking up slack tape as described
above, this may be du to ridges on the spool of tape. Tight
spools can lead to uneven playback sp

d or tape tangling. In

most cases the ridges can be removed by fast winding the
cassette from one end to the other and back again.

Avoid the use of C120 tapes with this unit.

To prevent recordings from being erased accidentally, break
out the tab(s) with a screwdriver. When the edge with the
exposed tape is facing away from you, the tab that pro ects the
side that is uppermost is on your right, as shown opposite.
