2.2 Write protect (figure 2.3)
In order to prevent accidental erasure of data that you wish to keep on cassette, a mechanical
interlock tab is provided on all standard compact cassettes. This tab may be removed by snapping it
off using a small pair of pliers etc. whereupon you will be unable to depress the
[REC]
key with the
‘write protected’ cassette in the drive.
The write protect feature applies individually to EACH SIDE of the cassette
- so
in order to protect
both sides of the cassette, both of the tabs must be removed. If you subsequently wish to re-enable
the facility to record on a cassette that has been protected in this way, then you can cover the
depression in the cassette housing created by removal of the tab using a piece of self adhesive tape
pulled taught across the opening.
2.3 Loading the cassette
Figure 2.1 illustrates the correct way to fit a cassette into the machine, using the tape supplied with
your CPC464.
The cassette should be fully rewound (from the right hand to the left hand spool)
– so
if it is not,
press the
[REW]
key until the motor stalls at the tape end. If the tape is accidentally looped out of
the aperture on the front of the cassette, then you should rewind the tape into the body of the
cassette before inserting into the cassette machine or the cassette tape and the information stored on
it may be lost.
Please note that whilst it is possible to use cassette tapes on audio systems that have suffered
various forms of abuse leading to creases and other damage to the tape surface
-
it is not possible to
maltreat a computer data recording in the same way and still expect it to continue to work reliably.
For example, if you damage a tape by trapping a stray loop in the cassette door etc., but find that you
are still able to load or run the program from it, you should immediately re-SAVE the program on a
fresh undamaged tape (while the program is safe in the CPC464 memory), and throw the damaged
tape away before you are tempted to try and re-use it.
