ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES

This unit is designed to be used

only with Chromeposition tape,

and wiii not work properiy with Ferrichrome tape formuiations.

CrOa tape (Bias: HIGH; EQ; 70ps) shouid be used. Aiso, the use of C-120 tapes is not recommended because they exhibit poorer
performance, and can be the cause of equipment faiiure.

• Preventing accidental erasure of recordings

To keep from inadvertently erasing a prized recording, aii

cassette tapes have record protection tabs along the rear

edge of the cassette shell. If this tab is broken out using a

screwdriver or any other appropriate implement, it will not be

possible to record on the corresponding side of the tape. This

will protect your recordings from accidental erasure. To protect

a 4-track recording, it’s necessary to break out the tabs for

both the A and B sides of the tape.
When you’d like to record over a tape with the tabs broken

out, just cover the holes (where the tabs were) with a small

piece of adhesive tape.

. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL TAPE ERASURE;

• Taking up tape slack

If the tape in the cassette is slack, or some portion of the tape
is out of the cassette shell, there is a risk it may become

tangled around the capstan or pinchroller. In order to correct
this, insert a pencil or ballpoint pen into the center of one reel,

and rotate to take up loose tape slack.

• Storing cassette tapes

To prevent tape slack during storage, keep tapes in their

cases. Do not store tapes in direct sunlight, or in places with

high heat or humidity, as this may damage the tapes. Also,

keep the tapes away from magnetic fields, emitted from de­

vices such as televisions or speakers, because the recordings

can be erased or sonically alterd to some degree.
