í Handling Precautions
¼ C-120 Cassettes
C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as they use a very
thin tape base which may become tangled around the capstan or
pinch roller.
¼ Tape Slack
Before putting a tape into the deck, take up any slack with a
pencil or your finger tip. This precaution prevents the tape from
becoming entangled around the capstan or pinch roller.
í Storage Precautions
¼ Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject
to:
¼ Extremely high temperature or excessive moisture
¼ Excessive dust
¼ Direct sunlight
¼ Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers)
¼ To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases
with hub stops
í Accidental Erasure Prevention
¼ All cassettes have erasure prevention tabs for each side. To
protect valuable recordings from accidental or inadvertent
erasure, remove the tab for the appropriate side with a
screwdriver or another tool.
¼ To record on a tape whose erasure prevention tabs have been
removed, cover the tab holes with adhesive tape.

This Stereo Cassette Deck contains an automatic tape selector which
automatically selects the optimum bias and equalization for the tape
in use. This is accomplished by detection of the tape type detections
holes in the cassette housing.
