ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new
material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to
save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If
the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The
Record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been
removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool
to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key form locking.
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of
cellophane tape. This will allow the Record to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be
observed:
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window
(see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barreled ballpoint pen,
before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be
jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center
window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one
end to the other and back again.
