Types of cassette tapes that can be used for recording by this

unit

Normal (type I), Chrome (type II)

o TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 in this unit detect tape types separately, so

different types of tapes can be used at the same time.

Precautions for use

o Do not open a cassette or pull out the tape.

o Do not touch the tape surface.

Storage precautions

o Keep cassette tapes away from magnets or magnetized items

because they may cause noise or erase recorded contents.

o Do not leave cassette tapes in a dusty place.

o Do not store cassette tapes in areas with high temperatures and

humidity.

Types of cassette tapes that should be avoided

The following types of cassette tapes might prevent the unit

from operating or functioning normally. These types of cassette

tapes could cause tape to become caught and other unexpected

problems.

Deformed cassette tapes

Do not use a deformed cassette or one that has unstable tape

movement or makes a strange sound during fast-forward or rewind.

Long play tapes

Tapes that allow recording for 90minutes or longer sometimes get

caught by the capstan because they are extremely thin and stretch

easily. Do not use them in this unit. In the worst case, the cassette

tape could become stuck in the unit.

Endless cassette tapes

Never use this type of cassette because its tape could become

caught. In the worst case, the cassette tape could become stuck in

the unit.

Maintenance

Wipe dirt from the top cover and other panel surfaces using a

soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with a diluted neutral

cleanser.

Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other chemi-

cal agents. Doing so could damage the surface.

V

For your safety, disconnect the power cord from

the outlet before cleaning.

Cleaning the cassette decks

If a head becomes dirty, the recording and playback sound quality

will become worse and cause skipping. Dirt on the tape tracking

roller could also cause the tape to become caught, for example.

Clean the head, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton applicator

dampened with a commercially-available cleaning solution about

every ten hours of use.

Erase head
