Handling Cassette Tapes
■ Recommended cassette tapes
• Use a TYPE I (Normal) tape. Using other types of tape may cause the unit to record or delete audio incorrectly.
• Do not use tapes that are longer than 90 minutes in duration. These tapes are thin and can easily get caught on the
pinch rollers or capstans.
■ Loose tape
Loose tape can easily be damaged or cut. Remove any tape slack with a pencil or sim-
ilar device as shown in the figure.
■ Preventing important recordings from being erased accidentally
■ Other precautions for handling cassette tapes
• Do not apply labels in locations not specified on the tape.
• Do not place tapes near magnetic sources (speakers, TVs, etc.) Otherwise, important recordings might be erased or
damaged.
• Do not expose cassette tapes to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity.
NOTE:
Recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder, although you may copy pur-
chased or broadcast recordings if the duplicate is exclusively for your personal use.
