with side "B" up.
o Before installing a cassette, remove any slack from the tape
by inserting a pencil into the hub and winding it until the
slack is eliminated.
o SONY Cassette incorporates a convenient safety device to
prevent accidental erasure. (When the recorder is set in record
mode, previous recordings are automatically erased.)
When the small tabs at the rear of the cassette are broken
out, a safety device will be activated, preventing recording.

To protect side ·'B", break out the tab of side "B".
When the cassette is installed with the tabs broken out, the
Record Button [REC] can not be depressed.
To reuse a cassette after the tabs have been removed, simply
cover each slot with a small piece of cellophane or vinyl tape.
