Erasure prevention
Cassette tapes are constructed with erasure
prevention tabs to prevent accidental
erasure of the tape.
1 If you wish to protect a recording from
accidental erasure, break off the tab(s)
on the appropriate side(s). It will no
longer be possible to use the recording
button with such a cassette.
2 If at some later date you wish to record
the cassette, simply cover the hole(s)
with small pieces of cellophane tape.
• Be sure not to cover the holes for
detecting high-position tapes.
Loose tape
Loose tape can cause tangling around the
pinch roller and capstan and jam the
mechanism.
Remove any tape slack with a pencil or
similar device as shown in the diagram.
Tapes not recommended
1. C-120 tapes
C-120 tape is thin and therefore easily
broken. There is a possibility that tape
could get caught on the pinch roller or
capstan.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use endless tapes.
Tape storage
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not put thick paper or cardboard
labels in the cassette holder.
• Do not put tapes near magnetic sources
(speakers, amplifiers, TVs, etc.) Your
important recording might be erased or
damaged.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct
sunlight.
