To obtain the
very
best performance from your deck,
we
urge you to read this manual thoroughly before attempting
operation. Please keep this manual handy for further
reference.
* Heads should
be
kept clean and demagnetized at all times.
* Before
using
a cassette tape, check to
con
firm
whether tape
slack exists.
As
tape
slack
causes the tape twist or tangle
around the pinch wheel and capstan, take
up
slack if
necessary.

As
the base
of
C-120 tapes are thin and easily damaged,
they are not recommended for
use
with this maehine.
'"
Recording cannot
be
made on the leader tape. Therefore,
when using a
new
cassette tape,
be
sure to forward the tape
slightly
so
that the leader tape
is
not
in
the head path.
'"
Tapes which
have
been stored
in
a hot moist
place
for a
period
of
time
or
cassette tape with bent
cases
should not
be
used. Such tapes may curl or
have
greasy places altering
tape speed
and
preventing proper performance. Always
store tapes
in
a cool, dry place.
'"
Do
not touch the tape with your fingers
as
high
frequency
signals
cannot
be
recorded
in
places which are not
clean
on
the tape.
*
When
using
a tape recorded with the Dolby processor, it
is
necessary to depress the Dolby
NR
Switch at playback time
also.
Keep the Dolby
NR
Switch at OFF position at all
times
except during Dolby recording or playback.
* Cassette tapes are equipped with a break-out tab for both A
and
B sides.
When
these tabs
have
been
removed to protect
an
important recording,
no
further recording
can
be
made
on
the tape unless the cavities are plugged or covered with a
piece
of
tape.

This
model
employs
a
4-track
recording/playback
system.
The
first
half
of
the
stereophonic
recording
or
playback
takes
place
on
track
1 and
2.
The
second
half
takes
palce
on
tracks
3
and
4
after
the
cassette
has
been
inverted,
Recording
and
playback
time
depend
upon
the
length
of
the
tape
(C-30,
30
minutes;
C-60,
60
minutes,
etc.).
Monaural
and
stereo
recorded
tapes
can
be
played
back
on
either
stereo
or
monaural
cassette
recorders
without
any
loss in
quality.
Because
the
total
track
width
of
the
left
and
right
channels
is
equal
to
that
of
the
monaural
track,
the
playback
head
will
scan
both
left
and
right
channels
together.
This
results
in
automatic
mixing
of
left
and
right
channels
from
the
stereo
tape
for
monaural
reproduction.
