About Cassette Tapes
IMPORTANT
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to rerecord pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast
or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
• If a recording you made has excessive noise, the main unit may have been too close to a TV
which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the
TV and the main unit.
• This product is compatible with normal cassette tapes (TYPE I). The product is not compatible
with high position cassette tapes (TYPE II) or metal cassette tapes (TYPE IV).

Handling Cassette Tapes
• A slack tape may become caught in the inner part of
the main unit and damage the main unit. Before
using a cassette tape, wind up any slack in the
cassette tape as shown in the diagram.
• Do not use long cassette tapes such as C-120 or C-150. Long cassette tapes are useful for long playback/
recording but are thin and stretch easily, and may become tangled in the inner part of the main unit.
Leader tapes
• Both ends of a cassette tape are unrecordable parts
(leader tapes). Before start recording, wind the tape
past the leader part of the cassette tape.

Preventing the Loss of Important Recorded Sound
Write protect tags are attached to a cassette tape for preventing the erasing of recorded sound.
• They enable you to avoid losing important record-
ings because once you snap off the write protect
tags, you cannot record to the cassette tape or
erase recorded material.
• When you want to use the cassette tape for record-
ing again, cover the tag holes with adhesive tape.
Rotate a pencil in the
