Tape Selection:
For the automatic tape select function to
work properly, metal and chrome (cobalt)
tapes must have identification holes.
Tape Handling:
Do not store tapes in the following places:
• On top of heaters, exposed to direct
sunlight or in any other places with high
temperatures.
• Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers
or where they would be exposed to
strong magnetic fields.
• Where humidity is high and in dirty,
dusty places.

could become entangled in the
transport mechanism, do not use them.
