CASSETTE TAPE
CARE
OF CASSETTE
TAPE
e Accidental Erase Protection
Your
precious recorded
tape can
be protected
against accidental
erasure
by breaking
off the claws
located
on the upper
edge of
cassette cases (See Fig. 3). Once the claws are removed, the record
button
cannot
be pressed
and thus the tape is protected
against
accidental
erasure.
Shouid
you desire to make
recording
on the
same tape, close the exposed
holes in the cassette with a piece of
adhesive tape.
e Exposed Tape or Slack in Tape
When the tape is exposed from tne cartridge or the tape has a slack,
insert a pencil into the reel hub and turn it until the slack is fully taken
up (See Fig. 4).
e Storing of Cassette Tape
Cassette case and tape are easily damaged by heat.
Do not expose
the cassette to direct sunlight or leave near heat producing equipment
such as a radiator.
Note that damaged cassette tape results in incor-
rect tape transport, causing unusual noise, wow, jumping of sound,
etc.
To protect precious recording, break off claw
S
using screwdriver
or similar tool.

CASSETTE
TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
A good cassette is constructed with closer tolerances and according
to the universally standardized specifications; the tape runs smoothly and
its magnetic characteristics are uniform throughout its full length.
Here
are tips for you to tell a good cassette from a bad one:
1) No abnormal noise issues forth from a good cassette when the deck is
operated on FAST FORWARD
or REWIND.
2) The plastic case of a good cassette is not warped:
take a good look at
its front and side before you mount it in the holder.
3) Even a good cassette could have a deteriorated (magnetically) tape in
it if it has been left standing under the direct sun or at abnormally high
temperatures
—for a long time.
e Cautions on C-120 cassette tape
C-120 cassette tape does demand ideal working conditions — no sag
in the tape, no tape elongation, perfectly clean capstan and pinch
roller.
This tape is so fragile that, if the capstan or pinch roller is even slightly
dirty, it often coils around
the capstan
or roller to result in tape
breakage.
Insert pencil into reel hub
and turn until slack is
taken up.
