Preventing accidental erasure
•
To prevent accidental erasure, slide the tab to the left to
open the hole. The tape cannot be recorded even if the
REC button is pressed. See Fig. A.
•
To allow recording on the tape again, slide the tab to
the right to close the hole. See Fig. B.
Handling digital audio tapes
•
Digital audio tapes are precisely constructed to record
and play back highly accurate data. Never open the
cassette lid and touch the tape. Touching the tape may
damaged it.
•
Do not use scratched, dirty or wrinkled tapes. Use of
such tapes may cause sound dropouts or damage the
head.
Storing digital audio tapes
•
Always keep tapes that are not in use in their cases.
•
Avoid storing tapes in direct sunlight, near heat
generating equipment or in humid locations.
•
Avoid storing tapes in dusty locations.
•
Do not store near strong magnetic fields (e.g. near
electric clocks, toys using magnets, etc.). Magnetic
fields will damage recordings.
•
Do not drop or subject the tape to strong vibrations.
•
Rewind the tape after use. If there is any slack in the
tape, rewind again.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
Most digital sources contain a copy prohibit code. This
unit utilizes the serial copy management system that
permits digital-to-digital recording for at least one
generation.
Even when a tape which has been recorded from analog
sources is dubbed, this system regards the source as a
digital source containing the copy prohibit code since the
dubbing was performed through the A/D converter, and
permits digital-to-digital recording only for one generation.
