RECORDING
Caution: Before you load a cassette tape for
recording, be sure its erase-protection tabs
are in place. If you force down
RECORD
when
that side’s erase-protection tab is missing, you
can damage the record mechanism (see “Pre-
venting Accidental Erasure” on Page 5).
Notes:
• Tape quality greatly affects the quality of
the recording. We recommend regular
length (60- or 90-minutes) normal-bias
cassette tapes. We do not recommend
long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s
because they are thin and can easily tan-
gle in the playback mechanism.
• Before you load a cassette tape for
recording, turn the cassette’s hub with
your finger or a pencil to move the tape
past its leader.
