RECOMMEN DED

ln
order to
obtain optimum
performance,
it is
essential
to
use
only
high
quality
cassette tapes,
The
bias and equalization of
your
tape deck are adjusted to
yield
excellent
results
il used with brand
name
tapes
such
as
SANYO,
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
also
proper
and constant
tape tension
cannot
be controlled.
