Panasonic RX-5090 - Maintenance

RECORD-PREVENT DEVICE
The
tape
cassette
contains
plastic
tabs
(as
illustrated)
to
prevent
recording
on
an
already-recorded
tape
cassette.
The
tab
moves
the
record
interlock
of
this
unit
and
permits
the
Record
Button
to
be
depressed.
Recordings
can
be
made
only
when
the
tab
is
intact.
fn
There
is
one
tab
for
each
side
(track)
of
the
tape.
Ifitis
necessary
to
preserve
a
valuable
recording
in
the
cassette,
the
tab(s)
should
be
broken
with
a
small
screwdriver.
If,
for
some
reason,
you
want
to
record
on
a
track
for
which
the
tab
has
already
been
broken,
use
adhesive
tape
to
cover
the
tab(s)
and
record
in
the
usual
manner.
