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

change, thus permitting fine adjustment.

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.

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

to remove the slack.

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
