Preventing accidental erasing of
cassettes
All cassettes (except for
rental and store cas-

tab on the back of the
cassette.
To prevent recording
over important recordings (erasing), you can
remove this security tab.
If you later decide to record on a protected cas-
sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape
or slide the tab to the right.
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)
When you add a further recording to a cassette,
which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and
the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as
follows:
1. 1. Find the tape position of the old recording
where you want to insert the new recording.
2. 2. Look at the last minute of the old recording
(playback).
3. 3. Press at the tape position where
the new recording is to go and press
.
