<Precautions for Use of Torque Cassette (KT-300NR)>
1. Before loading a torque cassette in a VCR, always
remove tape slack. The tape slack can be removed by
rotating the reel in the cassette to its take-up direc-
tion. (The tape tends to slack since there is no reel
brake on the torque cassette.)
2. Do not perform FF and REW operations by using a
torque cassette.
3. When the torque cassette is loaded, confirm follow-
ing:
1) Make sure the tape does not ride up or over the
No. 8 cap. If it does, do not eject the tape but
return the tape to its correct position, taking care
not to damage the tape.
2) Make sure the tape is not slackened. If slackened,
operate the VCR in CUE or REVIEW mode and
then stop the tape. Then make sure the tape is not
slackened again.
3) After above confirmation, proceed to the real
torque adjustment and confirmation.
4. Caution for removal of torque cassette
1) When removing the torque cassette from the VCR,
set the VCR to the STOP mode and wait for
several seconds. Then, make sure the tape is not
slackened, and push the EJECT button to remove
the cassette.
5. If the previous precautions “1.” to “4.” are not
performed properly, the tape may be damaged and
correct measurements can not be performed.
6. Do not use worn out or damaged tape, if used they
may damage video heads on the cylinder. In such a
case always replace the tape with a new one. The
replacement tape is of T-120, 10 m in length.
