CASSETTE TAPES
• Handling Precautions
• C-120 Cassettes
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.
• 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
•
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.
