same angle of rotation of the VOLUME (MULTI) CONTROL knob. Slow turning produces a small volume

change, thus permitting fine adjustment.

Wake-up timer and sleep timer setting is simple. There are also two types of program timers operating every

day.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of

the unit.

To re-record

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab,

to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on

accidentally.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub

to remove the slack.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or

near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away

from any magnetic field.

Notes on cassette tape

Apply tape only to the position where

the tab has been removed.

1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very

thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut.

It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this

unit to prevent possible damage.
