CASSETTE TAPES
CHECKING THE CASSETTES
Before
inserting
a
cassette
into
either
deck,
make
sure
that
the tape has no
slack
. If the tape is
slack,
use
a
pencil
or
similar
object
to
take
it up on one
of
the reels. (Fig. 3)
TO INSERT A CASSETTE INTO EITHER DECK
Depress
the
STOP/EJECT
button
of
that
deck
.
Depress
it
again if
any
of the
other
buttons
were
in the
depressed
po-
sition.
Insert
the
cassette
with
the
full reel to the left
and
with
tape slots at bottom.
The
cassette

RECOMMENDED CASSETTE TAPES
In
order
to
obtain
optimum
performance,
it is
essential
that
you
use
only
high
quality
cassette
tapes
.
The
bias
(DECK
2)
and
equalization
(DECKS
1,
2)
of
your
double
cassette
deck
are
adjusted
to
yield
excellent
results
if
used
with
brand
name tapes,
such
as
TDK, BASF,
Maxell
,
Scotch
,
Memorex, Ampex and Fuji. Use
C-30
,
C-60
and
C-90
cassettes
only
.
We
do not
recommend
the
C-120
cassettes
because
they
are
subject
to
mechanical
instability
and
proper
and
constant
tape
tension
cannot
be
controlled.

FULL AUTOMATIC STOP SYSTEMS
Both
decks
have full
automatic
stop
systems.
After
one
side
of
a tape has
played
to the end, the PLAY
button
of
DECK 1
or
2 is released
by
the
automatic
stop
mechanism
and
the tape
stops
automatically
.
The
automatic
stop
mechanism
operates
in the RECORD mode (DECK 2),
PLAY,
REW
or
F-FWD modes (DECKS
1,
2) .
TO STOP THE TAPE ON EITHER DECK
Depress
the
STOP/EJECT
button
of
DECK 1
or
2
once
in
any
mode: RECORD (DECK 2),
PLAY,
REW, F-FWD
(DECKS

.

SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Every time a
recording
is made on DECK
2,
the
previous
recording
on the tape is erased
automatically
.
To
prolect
valuable
recordings
from
accidental
erasure,
both
the
cassette
and
DECK 2
are
equipped
with
special
safe-
guards.
Cassettes
have two
tabs
on the back. If you
wish
to
pre-
serve the
recording
on a cassette,
break
out
the
tabs
with
a
knife
or
key. Remove tab A
at
the
right
to preserve
sound
on SIDE 1 and tab B for SIDE 2. (Fig. 4)
The
resulting
opening
interlocks
with
the REC
button
of
DECK 2.
The
REC
button
cannot
be
depressed
when
a
cassette
that
has
no
erase
guard
tabs
is
inserted
. If you
want
to
re-record
the tape, cover the
opening
with
adhesive
tape.
