HANDLING CASSETTE TAPES AND CAUTIONS

Cautions on Handling Cassette Tapes
• C-120 and C-150 tapes
C-120 and C-150 cassette tapes use extremely thin tape
that can easily get caught in the capstan or pinch roller.
Do not use such cassette tapes.
• Slack in the tape
The tape may get caught on the capstan and be
damaged if the tape is slack when the cassette is
loaded. Use a pencil, etc., to take up any slack in the
tape before loading the cassette.
Cautions on Storing Cassette Tapes
• Do not place cassette tapes in the following places:
1. Hot or humid places
2. Dusty places
3. Places exposed to direct sunlight
4. Places exposed to magnetic forces (near TVs,
speakers, etc.)
• Store cassette tapes in cases with stoppers to prevent
the tape from becoming slack.

Accidental Erasure Prevention Tabs
• Cassette tapes are equipped with accidental erasure
prevention tabs. To protect recordings from being
erased accidentally, use a screwdriver, etc., to press on
the tabs and break them off.
• To record on a cassette tape whose tabs have been
broken off, cover the holes with cellophane tape, etc.

Cleaning the Heads
A commercially available head cleaning cassette (wet
type) is required to clean the heads (recording/playback
and erasing) on this product.
• If the heads are dirty, sound cannot be recorded or
played with good quality.
• To take full advantage of this product's performance and
to achieve good sound quality, clean the heads
periodically after approximately 10 hours of use.
• We recommend using a wet type commercially
available head cleaning cassette that also cleans the
pinch roller and capstan.
Degaussing the Heads
• The heads become magnetized after extended use or
after being exposed to magnetized objects. This results
in noise or a loss of high frequencies.
• Use a commercially available cassette type head
degausser to demagnetize the heads.
NOTE:
• Set the amplifier's volume to the minimum when
cleaning and degaussing the heads.
