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.
