Cassette tape selection and care
Use normal position tapes.
High position and metal position tapes can be played, but the unit will
not be able to do full justice to the characteristics of these tapes.
Tapes exceeding 100 minutes are thin and can break or get caught
in the mechanism.
Tape slack can get caught up in the mechanism and should be
wound up before the tape is played.
Endless tapes can get caught up in the deck’s moving parts if used
incorrectly. Use tapes appropriate to this unit’s auto-reverse
mechanism.
