CASSETTE TAPES
2 Handling Precautions
• C-120 cassette tapes
C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as
they use a very thin tape base which may become
tangled around the capstan or pinch roller.
• Tape Slack
Before putting a tape into the deck, take up any
slack with a pencil or your finger tip. This
precaution prevents the tape from becoming
entangled around the capstan or pinch roller.

2 Storage Precautions
• Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they
will be subject to:
• Extremely high temperature or excessive
moisture
• Excessive dust
• Direct sunlight
• Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers)
• To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in
cassette cases with hub stops
2 Accidental Erasure Prevention
• All cassettes have erasure prevention tabs for each
side. To protect valuable recordings from accidental
or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the
appropriate side with a screwdriver or another tool.
• To record on a tape whose erasure prevention tabs
have been removed, cover the tab holes with
adhesive tape.

AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTION
This Stereo Cassette Deck contains an automatic tape
selector which automatically selects the optimum
bias and equalization for the tape in use.
This is accomplished by detection of the tape type
detections holes in the cassette housing.
• If a tape without tape type detection holes is
used, the deck will be set for normal tapes.
