Types of cassette tapes that should be avoided
The following types of cassette tapes might prevent the unit from
operating or functioning normally. The tape of such cassette tapes
could be caught in the unit and cause unexpected problems.
Deformed cassette tapes
Cassettes that are deformed, that have tape that does not track
properly, or that generate abnormal noise during fast-forwarding
or rewinding.
Long-duration tapes
Tapes that allow recording for 90 minutes or longer sometimes get
caught by the capstan because they are extremely thin and stretch
easily. Avoid using them whenever possible.
Slackening of tapes
Slack tape could get caught in the capstan or other parts.
Eliminate slack by using a pencil or similar tool before use.
