INDICATOR

LIGHTS

There

are

three

indicator

lights

on

the

front

panel

of

your

HK

1000.

When

lit,

these

lights

give

a

visual

indication

of

the

following:

1.

RECORD

—

The

HK

1000

is

in

the

process

of

making

a

recording.

2.

DOLBY

NR

—

The

Dolby

NR

system

is

ON.

3.

POWER

—

The

HK

1000

is

operative.

THE

CASSETTE

Cassette

is

French

for

cartridge.

It

is

a

self-contained

reel-to-reel

tape

housed

in

a

plastic

enclosure

for

easy

handling

and

storage.

Most

record

album

manufacturers

are

presently

duplicating

their

albums

on

cassette

tape.

Blank

cassettes

containing

30,

45,

60,

90

and

120

minutes

of

recording

times

are

also

available

for

making

your

own

recordings.

The

HK

1000

has

been

designed

to

give

optimum

performance

with

high

quality

30,

45,

60

and

90

minute

cassettes.

Tape

tension

and

capstan

tolerance

have

been

carefully

adjusted

to

the

speci-

fic

tape

thickness

of

C-30, C-45,

C-60

and

C-90

tapes.

It

is

for

this

reason

that

we

do

not

recommend

the

use

of

C-1

20

cassettes.

ACCIDENTAL

ERASURE

PROTECTION

The

cassette

is

provided

with

a

recording

safety

feature

which

protects

your

prerecorded

cassette,

or

one

you

may

have

just

recorded,

against

accidental

erasure.

The

safety

feature

employed

consists

of

two

removable

tabs,

one

for

each

side

of

the

tape,

appearing

in

the

rear

of

the

cassette

housing.

These

tabs

will

have

been

removed

on

any

prerecorded

tapes

you

may

have

purchased

and

evidence

of

their

removal

will

be

the

two,

small

square

indentations

appearing

on

either

side

of

the

rear

of

the

plastic

housing.

Once

you

have

made

your

own

recording

on

a

blank

cassette,

and

you

wish

to

protect

against

accidental

erasure,

it

will

be

necessary

for

you

to

remove

ore

or

both

of

these

tabs

to

protect

either

or

both

sides

of

your

recorded

cassette

against

accidental

erasure,

as

follows:

1)

If

both

sides

have

been

recorded,

merely

insert

a

fine

screwdriver

in

the

opening

around

each

tab

and

gently

pry

the

tab

off.

Be

sure

the

tab

falls

free

from

the

cassette.

2)

If

one

side

only

has

been

recorded,

place

the

cassette

on

a

table

as

removed

from

the

recorder,

with

the

side

just

recorded

facing

up

and

the

exposed

tape

area

facing

you.

The

correct

tab

to

be

removed

will

be

in

the

lefthand

corner

of

the

cassette.

NOTE:

If

at

some

future

date

you

wish

to

make

a

recording

over

a

previ-

ously

protected

tape,

simply

place

a

piece

of

adhesive

tape

over

the

tab

open-

ing.

This

will

permit

you

to

make

a

new

recording.

Removal

of

the

adhesive

tape

following

the

recording

will

again

insure

against

accidental

erasure.

The

plastic

storage

container

in

which

the

cassette

purchased

is

dust

-proof

protection

for

the

cassette.

Store

cassette
