of the heads, capstan,
jiiru'h roller,

TAPE REELS
•
Use 7-inGh or 5-inch reels. Both reels should be
of the same size. If they are not,
they
will slow
down at different
rates which leads to unstable
tape run.
•
Do not use reels
which have been deformed or
warped in any
way,
or
reels with a broad tape
width.
If the tape comes in contact
witii the skle
of the reel, it will bp damaged.
BE SURE TO CLAMP THE REELS
After you mount the reels, make absolutely
sure
that you clamp both reels so that they will not
separate themselves from the bases during tape
ptoy
(Refn to Fig.
2).

further
details, refer
