Cassette Tape Selection
The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you
use will have a direct effect on the performance of this
unit. Low quality tapes tend to break and stretch, and
a broken tape can easily become entangled in the
drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched
tapes run at uneven speeds and will distort anything
recorded on them.
• Use only reputable tape brands
• Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassettes is not
recommended. The extreme thinness of this tape
may result in breakage or other problems
• Check to ensure there are no loose layers of
tape visible through the cassette center windows.
Tighten loose layers with a pencil or ballpoint pen
before inserting the cassette into the unit.
