ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES

This unit is designed to be used only with Chromeposition tape, and will not work properly with Ferrichrome tape formulations.

CrO2 tape (Bias: HIGH; EQ: 70µs) should be used. Also, the use tapes longer than 90 minutes (C-120, etc.) is not recommended

because they exhibit poorer performance, and can be the cause of equipment failure.

l Preventing accidental erasure of recordings

To keep from inadvertently erasing a prized recording, all

cassette tapes have record protection tabs along the rear

edge of the cassette shell. If this tab is broken out using a

screwdriver or any other appropriate implement, it will not

be possible to record on the corresponding side of the

tape. This will protect your recordings from accidental era-

sure. To protect a 4-track recording, it’s necessary to break

out the tabs for both the A and B sides of the tape.

When you’d like to record over a tape with the tabs broken

out, just cover the holes (where the tabs were) with a

small piece of adhesive tape.

PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL TAPE ERASURE:

Taking up tape slack

If the tape in the cassette is slack, or some portion of the

tape is out of the cassette shell, there is a risk it may

become tangled around the capstan or pinchroller. In order

to correct this, insert a pencil or ballpoint pen into the

center of one reel, and rotate to take up loose tape slack.

RECORDING OVER A TAPE WITH THE TABS BROKEN

OUT:

ll Storing cassette tapes

To prevent tape slack during storage, keep tapes in their

cases. Do not store tapes in direct sunlight, or in places

with high heat or humidity, as this may damage the tapes.

Also, keep the tapes away from magnetic fields, emitted

from devices such as televisions or speakers, because the

recordings can be erased or sonically altered to some

degree.
