NOTES ON CASSETTES
o The sides of a cassette are marked "A" and •. B ",
When you wish to record or play back side" A", install
the cassette into the cassette compartment with side
•. A" up. When you wish to record or play back side
" B ", install it with side" B" up. .
The letter" A" of the SONY Cassette is embossed to
help distinguish that side of the cassette in a dimly
lighted area.
o Before installing a cassette, remove any slack from the
tape by inserting a pencil into the hub and winding it
until the slack is eliminated.

o Tape Cassettes incorporate a convenient safety device
to prevent accidental erasure. (When the recorder is set
in the record mode, previous recordings are automati-
cally erased.)
When the small tabs at the rear of a cassette are broken
out, a safety device will be activated, preventing re-
cording.
To protect side •. A" recording, break out the tab of
side" A".
To protect side" B ", break out the tab of side" B "
When the cassette is installed with the tabs broken out,
the REC (record) button cannot be depressed.
To reuse a cassette for recording after the tabs have
been removed, simply cover each slot with a small
piece of cellophane or vinyl tape.
