[3] BEFORE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
@ Cautions on Handling
e C-120 cassette tapes
Avoid using 120-minute cassette tapes, as they have
extremely thin tape which tends to get caught on the
capstans or pinch rollers.
@ Tape slack
If the tape is slack, it may get tangled or be damaged. Take
up slack with a pencil, etc., before loading the cassette.
lf Protecting Cassette Tapes From Being Erased Accidentally
e Cassette tapes are equipped with accidental erasure
prevention tabs. To protect recorded tapes from being
erased accidentally, use a screwdriver, etc., and break
these tabs off.
@ To record on a cassette tape whose accidental erasure
prevention tabs have been broken off, place a piece of
cellophane tape over the hole.
