Erase Protection
Every cassette can be protected against accidental erasing of
pre-recorded material. On the back of a cassette are two
breakout tabs. These must be in place before the RECORD
button will depress. If these tabs have been removed,
such as on pre-recorded cassette you buy, the RECORD
button will not depress. To record using a cassette which
has the breakout tabs removed, place a piece of tape over
the exposed holes, this will allow the interlocking device
to engage
Once you have made a recording, you can prevent an accidental erasing by breaking out and removing the tabs. With side 1(A) facing you, erasing is
prevented by breaking out the tab on the right, and side 2(B) by the tab on the left (see drawing).
Cleaning
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your stereo system from the AC power plug when cleaning.
• The finish on our stereo may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Be careful when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
Mild cleaners, such as dishwashing detergent, with dampened (not wet) cloth may be used on the front panel.
Tape Deck Cleaning
• To get the best sound from your tapes, the pressure roller, capstan, play/record and erase heads should be cleaned regularly. The build up of
iron oxide particles is often severe with inferior tapes and will reduce the performance or the system. After every 100 hours of use, or more often if
playback has become poor, clean the play/record and erase heads, capstan and pressure roller. To clean them, wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.
