CASSETTES

CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION

The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on the performance of this unit.
Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
· Use only well-known brands of tapes.
· Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
· This unit is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure to use name brand normal cassette tapes.

CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING
Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For more information on these tabs see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST ERASURE BELOW.

IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used, the sound during playback may become "muffled" or, in extreme cases, almost inaudible. This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a deposit of oxide and other contaminating element on the tape heads. The easiest way to overcome the problem is by using a head-cleaning cassette. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully.The tape head is a delicate precision component and serious damage will result if you attempt to scrape the contamination away with a sharp implement.
2. Other common causes of trouble are:
    (a) Tapes jamming - leading to uneven speed during playback.
    (b) Tapes tangling - where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.
    To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the following precautions:
    (1) Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see FIG. 1). Tighten these loose layers using a pencil before inserting the cassette into the machine (see FIG. 2).
    (2) If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation shown in FIG. 2, the tape may be jamming due to "ridges" in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding the cassette from one end to the other and back again. Or the tape may be permanently damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this may cause your set to break.

 

 

 

 

NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE TAPES
1. Do not put a cassette near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
2. Do not store cassette for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.

 

TO PLAY A CASSETTE TAPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Insert cassette tape into deck A or B door tracks. Make sure the full reel is on the left and the exposed part of the tape faces downward, make sure the tape inside is not slack or loosely wound. If it is, insert a pencil into the reel and turn until the tape is wound up.
2. Open the Cassette Door A or B by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject Button (in some cases, you may have to press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button twice since this button has combined functions).

RECORD LEVER INTERLOCK

PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST ERASURE
All cassette tapes are provided with tabs which, when in place, allow tape erasure to be performed. If the tabs are removed then the tape CANNOT be erased and the Cassette Record Button cannot be depressed.
To protect the A (or 1) side of cassette tape, break off the A side tab with a screwdriver.

 

 

 

 

Follow same procedure for B (or 2) side.

NOTE: Music tapes you buy from a store have these tabs removed to prevent accidental erasure.
The tape can be re-recorded or erased, if required, by covering the tab holes with plastic tape.

 

 

 

NOTE: If the Record Button will not go down, the tabs above are probably missing - Also check if the tape has reached the end.

CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled, distorted or reduced sound during playback and may even result in tape jams. Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.

HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SET

AM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite station by rotating the set a small amount.

FM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite station by collapsing the telescoping antenna a small amount, or rotating it, or if station is weak, slide Band Switch to FM (mono) position.

RECORD BUTTON - If you find that you cannot depress this button, check the Record Interlock defeat tabs on the cassette or re-insert the tape so that full reel is on right side.

TAPE HEADS - The tape heads should be cleaned periodically with a special cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi store) to remove the particles of brown oxide coating from the tapes that collect on these heads. These particles fill the gap in the heads and degrade performance.
