CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION
FAST FORWARD (9) and REWIND (11) BUTTONS
To quickly move the cassette forward or backward, press the FAST FORWARD (9) or REWIND (11) but-
ton.
PAUSE BUTTON (7)
The PAUSE button (7) is used to temporarily interrupt the recording on the cassette.
The pause button does not stop the motor and therefore should only be used for a short period of time.
AUTO STOP
This appliance has a built-in automatic stop function. The cassette mechanism will turn off at the end of
the cassette.
STOP/EJECT BUTTON (8)
To manually stop playback of the cassette, press the STOP/EJECT button (8).
CASSETTES
CHOOSING MAGNETIC TAPE
The quality and condition of the magnetic tape used in the cassette player/recorder affects its record-
ing and playback quality.
Low-quality magnetic tape can be stretched or break during recording or playback, and broken tape
can twist around the tape winding mechanism and damage it. Stretched magnetic tape will produce
unpredictable distortions.
•
Use cassettes made by well-known manufacturers.
• We do not recommend using cassettes with 120 minute capacity (C-120). They have a tendency to
stretch or break because the tape is so thin.
• This appliance is not intended to be used with CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tapes. Use cassettes with iron
oxide (g-Fe2O3) tape.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MAGNETIC TAPE
When using low-quality magnetic tape, the playback might sound muffled or nearly indistinguishable.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PLAYBACK DEVICE IS BROKEN. The problem is that, over time, the
recording/playback head gets covered with magnetic particles from the cassettes or other substances.
To clean the magnetic heads, carefully follow the corresponding instructions. To avoid damaging the
heads, you should never use sharp or metal objects to clean them.
Common reasons for improper cassette functioning are:
1. Jamming of the tape, leading to uneven speed during playback.
2. Improper winding of the tape on the reels.
To avoid these problems, you should observe the following rules. Before putting the cassette into the
compartment, make sure that the tape inside the cassette is in good condition and properly wound. You
can correct winding problems with a pencil or ball-point pen. Insert it in one of the holes of the cassette
and slowly (to avoid damage to the tape) turn the reel until the other reel begins to turn. After listening
to the cassette, we recommend rewinding it to the beginning. Do not use damaged cassettes, because
this can lead to breakage of the tape movement mechanism.
