Cassette tape selection and care
Types of tapes which can be played correctly.
The system automatically identifies the type of tape.
NORMAL POSITION/TYPE I
✓
HIGH POSITION/TYPE II

METAL POSITION/TYPE IV
✕
High position and metal position tapes can be played, but
the unit will not be able to do full justice to the characteristics
of these tapes.
• Tapes exceeding 100 minutes are thin and can break or
get caught in the mechanism.
• Tape slack can get caught up in the mechanism and
should be wound up before the tape is played.
• Endless tapes can get caught up in the deck’s moving
parts if used incorrectly.

Notes
The TPS function searches for silent parts of about 4
seconds in length which are normally found between tunes.
As a result, it may not function properly in the following
cases:
• With short silent parts
• When noise occurs between tunes
• With silent parts found within tunes
