If this tab is broken out using a screwdriver or any other appropriate implement, it will not be possible to record on the corresponding side of the tape. This will protect your recordings from accidental erasure. For 4-track recording, it's necessary to break out the tabs for both the A and B sides of the tape. When you'd like to record over a tape with the tabs broken out, just cover the holes (where the tabs were) with tape. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL TAPE ERASURE: Taking up tape slack If the tape is used when it is slack, or some portion of the tape is out of the cassette shell, there is a risk it may become tangled around the capstan or pinchroller. In order to correct this, insert a pencil or ballpoint pen into the center of one reel, and rotate to take up loose tape slack. Storing cassette tapes To prevent tape slack, fit a stopper into the tape or keep tapes in their cases. Do not store tapes in direct sunlight, or in places with high heat or humidity, as this may damage the tapes. Also, keep the tapes away from magnetic fields, such as near televisions or speakers, because the recordings can be erased or sonically altered to some degree.

ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
chrome tape formulations. CrO
This unit is designed to be used only with Chrome-
position tape, and will not work properly with Ferri-
tape (Bias: HIGH; EQ:
70μs) should be used. Also, the use of C-120 tapes is
not recommended because they exhibit poorer perfor-
mance, and can be the cause of equipment failure.
Preventing accidental erasure of recordings
To keep from inadvertently erasing a prized recording, all
cassette tapes have record protection tabs along the top
edge of the cassette shell. If this tab is broken out using
a screwdriver or any other appropriate implement, it will
not be possible to record on the corresponding side of
the tape. This will protect your recordings from accidental
erasure. For 4-track recording, it’s necessary to break out
the tabs for both the A and B sides of the tape.
When you’d like to record over a tape with the tabs
broken out, just cover the holes (where the tabs were)
with tape.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL TAPE ERASURE:
Recording over a tape with the tabs broken out
• Playing tapes recorded on other cassette
recorders
When playing Normal-position tapes, or tapes encoded
with Dolby B noise reduction the MT1X, the following
steps are advised:
1) Playing Normal-position tapes
— move the HI
equalizer fader in the “
+
” direction to boost the high
frequencies until the sound is satisfactory.
2) Playing tapes encoded with Dolby B NR—
put the
dbx switch in the “OFF” position, and move the HI
equalizer fader in the “
–
” direction to reduce the
high frequencies until the sound is satisfactory.
Taking up tape slack
If the tape is used when it is slack, or some portion of
the tape is out of the cassette shell, there is a risk it
may become tangled around the capstan or pinchroller.
In order to correct this, insert a pencil or ballpoint pen
into the center of one reel, and rotate to take up loose
tape slack.
Storing cassette tapes
To prevent tape slack, fit a stopper into the tape or keep
tapes in their cases. Do not store tapes in direct sunlight,
or in places with high heat or humidity, as this may
damage the tapes. Also, keep the tapes away from
magnetic fields, such as near televisions or speakers,
because the recordings can be erased or sonically altered
to some degree.
