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.
