SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL
ERASURE
When a new recording is made, any program material
previously recorded is automatically erased and only the
new recording remains. To safeguard valuable
recordings from being erased accidentally, the cassette
and the deck are equipped with a special device.
On the back of the cassette there is an erase prevention
tab on each side. To prevent accidental erasing, break
out these tabs with a screwdriver. If only one side of the
tape is to be protected, break out the tab on the left side
with the side desired facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has been broken,
place a piece of adhesive tape over that area.
NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record button
cannot be depressed.
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side.
Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only
high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if the
problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.
If there is any slack in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place a pencil in one
of the hubs and rotate it clockwise until all slack is taken up.
