We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle. For low-noise, wide-range recordings, use normalbias tape. • Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.
