GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Cassette Tape Handling •Be sure to remove the cassette tape from the cassette compartment at the end of operation to preserve the tape quality and maintain the cassette deck's performance. •Store cassette tapes away from a strong magnetic field such as near a TV set, receiver or speakers to prevent an adverse effect on the recorded signal. •Before a cassette tape is played back or recorded, be sure to eliminate any tape slack. A slackened tape, if used, may cause jamming in the tape transport mechanism. Remove tape slackness by winding the tape reels with a pencil . • If the sound recorded on the tape is to be protected from accidental erasure, remove the erase-prevention tabs in the cassette shell . With these tabs broken out, accidental erasure is prevented, because your unit wi l l automatically detect that the tabs have been removed, and wil l not enter the record mode. Tab Tab Break the tabs off with a screwdriver. • If it is later desired to record on a cassette tape protected in this way, cover the holes with adhesive tape. Adhesive tape
