If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of
cellophane tape. This will allow the Record to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of
the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be
observed:
• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see
Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before
inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2).
• If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see
Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding
of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be
removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one
end to the other and back again.
• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape
surfaces.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperature.
2. Do not tamper the internal components of the unit.
3. Clean your unit with a dry cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be used.

5. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as
fluorescent lamps or motors.
ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new
material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save,
blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase
prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The Record
button cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to
break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record button form locking.
