RECORDABLE CASSETTE TYPES
Use only good quality cassettes (IEC TYPE 1) for making recordings. The device may be used to replay other types of cassettes, but it is unable to properly record on other types of cassettes.

PROTECTING THE RECORDING
Normally, anything recorded on the tape is automatically erased when a new recording is made. It is possible to protect your recording from accidental erasure by removing the tabs found on the rear of the cassette.

• When the cassette is held with the recorded side upper-most and the exposed tape facing the front, the protective tab will be found on the left rear of the cassette.
• All pre-recorded cassettes are protected in this way to prevent accidental erasure of the commercial recording. “Protected” cassettes will prevent the record button from being operated.
• If you attempt to record and find that this button will not be depressed, never force the mechanism or it may be damaged. Check that a cassette has been loaded and that the tab has not been removed. Recording on a cassette from which the tabs have been removed can be done by covering the tab openings with a piece of adhesive tape.

CARE OF THE CASSETTE MECHANISM
Gently clean the tape head and pinch wheel/capstan assemblies after every 10 hours of using the unit. A range of cassette care products are available.

• The erase head, record/play head, and the surface of the pinch roller are delicate and must not be touched with metal objects, such as screwdrivers.
• You may find it easier to clean the assembly by pressing the PLAY button to move the bright head and pinch roller into view.
• Be sure to press the STOP button after cleaning the mechanism.
• Damage to the pinch roller can occur if the unit is left in PLAY mode with the power switch off.
