Tape quality greatly affects the qual-
ity of the recording. We recommend
regular length (60- or 90-minute)
cassette tapes. We do not recom-
mend long-play cassette tapes such
as C-120s because they are thin
and can easily tangle. For low-noise,
wide-range recordings, use normal-
bias tape.
Before you load a cassette tape for
recording, turn the cassette’s hub
with your finger or a pencil to move
the tape past its leader.
Before recording, be sure the erase-
protection tabs are in place on the
cassette tape you are using to
record. See “Preventing Accidental
Erasure” on Page 12.
Caution:
If you try to record on a
cassette tape that has had its erase
protection tabs removed, you cannot
press
RECORD . Do not force it, as
this can damage the mechanism.
