About Cassette Tapes
Avoid the following types of tapes Notes about the handling of cassettes
•120-mtnute (or longer) tapes
Because this tape is very thin, it might stretch during use, become
tangled with rotating parts in this unit, and/or tape movement
might not be stable,
•Fe-Cr tape (TYPE III)
The high range wilt be emphasized and a flat frequency response
characteristic cannot be obtained.
*Metal tape
In particular, recordings will be very distorted.
If the tape in the cassette is loose, the tape can easily break during
use or otherwise be damaged. Never tmjch the tape itself, or
attempt to pull it out of the cassette.
Use a pencil or similar
object to take up the
slack.
