Operation Manual

Protecting Recordings
Normally, anything recorded on the tape is automatically erased when new recording is made.
It is possible to protect your recordings from accidental erasure by removing the tabs found on
the rear of the cassette.
When the cassette is held with the recorded side upper-most and exposed tape facing the front,
the protective tab will be found on the left rear of the cassette.
All pre-recorded cassette are protected in this way to prevent accidental erasure of the
commercial recordings. "Protected" cassettes will prevent the record button from being operated.
If at any time you attempt to record and find that this button will not depress, never force the
mechanism or it may be damaged. Check that a cassette has been loaded and that tab has not
been removed. Recording on a cassette from which the tabs have been removed can be done by
covering the tab openings with a piece of adhesive tape.
Care Of Cassette Mechanism
Gently clean the tape head and pinch-wheel / capstan assemblies after every 10 hours of use
until all traces of oxide deposit have been removed. A range of cassette care products are
available.
The erase head and record/play head and the surface of the pinch roller are delicate and must
not be touched with metal objects such as screwdrivers. You may find it easier to clean the
assembly by pressing the PLAY button to bring head and pinch roller into view. Be sure to press
the CASS. STOP button after cleaning the mechanism.
Damage to the pinch wheel can occur if the unit is left in PLAY mode with the power switched off.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to lubricate any part of the machine.
WARNING
Disconnect from the mains at the wall socket when not in use. Do not expose the set to rain or
moisture.
