CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION
General information
•
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with internal reels or poor-
quality tapes, since they can cause malfunctions.
•
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,
tighten the slack tape with a pen or pencil.
•
Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab
on the top left protects the side facing you from erasure.
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again.
•
This deck is a Double Cassette Deck with Automatic
Reverse Function.
Tape “a”: Playback only.
Tape “b”: Playback or recording.
•
This deck features an auto tape selector. Just load the
tape, and the tape formula being used will be sensed
automatically.
•
This unit can playback metal tapes as well as normal or
chrome tapes, however recording cannot be done on
metal tapes only.
•
When covering erasure prevention tab holes, do not cover
the chrome and metal detection holes. Otherwise, the
deck will treat tape as normal tape.
•
Do not press the EJECT button during playback or
recording.
