• This deck is not suitable for recording on CHROME (IEC II) or
METAL (IEC IV) type cassettes. For recording you should use
NORMAL type cassettes (IEC I) on which the tabs have not
been broken.

• The recording level is set automatically. Altering the VOLUME,
INCREDIBLE SURROUND and bass controls will not affect the
recording in progress.

• At the very beginning and end of the tape, no recording will
take place during the 7 seconds, when the leader tape passes
the recorder heads.

• To protect a tape from accidental erasure have the tape in
front of you and break out the left tab. Recording on this side
is no longer possible. To record over this side again, cover the
tabs with a piece of adhesive tape.
