Preventing accidental erasing of cassettes

All cassettes (except for rental and store cassettes) have a security tab on the back of the
cassette (see arrow).
To prevent recording over important recordings (erasing), you can remove this security tab or
slide it to the left.
If you later decide to record on a protected cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape
or slide the tab to the right.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:

1

Find the tape position of the old recording where you want to insert
the new recording.

2

Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).
