DAT CASSETTES
Concerning DAT cassettes
• Use cassette tapes with the DAT logotype shown here.
DgtaiAxtoTape
When a tape on which a recording has previously been made
is used for recording, the previously recorded signals will be
erased automatically, and the tape will contain only the new
recording.
• DAT cassettes have sliding safety tabs to prevent accidental
erasure. Be sure to open the tabs of cassettes containing
important recordings which you want to protect against
accidental erasure.
• DAT cassettes cannot be used upside down.
• DAT cassettes have a lid (cover) to prevent the accumulation
of dust or dirt on the surface of the tape. Do not open this
forcibly.
Cassette identification holes x 3
• DAT cassette shells are constructed so that the tape cannot
be touched by accident.
