To safeguard valuable recordings from being erased accidentally, the cassette and the deck are equipped with a special device. On the back of the cassette there is an erase prevention tab on each side. To prevent accidental erasing, break out these tabs with a screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to be protected, break out the tab on the left side with the side desired facing you. To record on a tape in which the tab has been broken, place a piece of adhesive tape over that area.

CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side. Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only high quality tapes.

If there is any slack in the tape in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate clockwise until all slack is taken up. 16 CARE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) CARE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identifica- tion logo as shown here.
