To save a tape permanently To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated. Break off the cassette tab If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. Before placing a cassette in the tape deck Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged. When using a tape longer than 90 minutes The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck. Cleaning the tape heads Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette. Demagnetizing the tape heads Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.

Additional Information

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded

over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as

illustrated.

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover

the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Before placing a cassette in the tape

deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape may

get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become

damaged.

When using a tape longer than

90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape

operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding

frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape

deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be

sure to clean the tape heads before you start an

important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a

separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette.

For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning

cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that

have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of

use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For

details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing

cassette.
