Erasure Prevention
Cassette tapes are constructed with erasure
prevention niches on the back edge that are
initially covered by break-off tabs.
1. If you wish to protect a recording from
accidental erasure, break off the tab(s)
of the appropriate side(s). It will no
longer be possible to use the recording
button with such a cassette.
2. If at some later date you wish to re-
record the cassette, simply cover the
openings with small pieces of cello-
phane tape.
Handling Cassette Tapes

Tape Slack
Slack in the tape (tape not stretched tightly)
can cause tangling around the pinch roller
and capstan and jam the mechanism.
Remove any tape slack with a pencil or
similar device as shown in the diagram.
Tapes which are Not
Recommended
1. C120 tapes
C120 tape is thin and therefore easily
broken. There is a possibility that tape
could get caught up by the pinch roller
or capstan.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use endless tapes.
