Recommended Tape Usage
Use only high-quality cassette tapes with your X-Gen system. Some
inexpensive tapes can cause poor-quality recordings and premature
head wear. For X-Gen Stereo, Ferrite or XL models, you can use either
normal bias 120 ms (Type I) or high-bias (70 ms CrO2/Type II) types of
tape. For Standard model X-Gen duplicators, only normal bias (Type I)
tapes can be used. You can use C-30, C-60 or C-90 cassettes, but
C-120 cassettes are likely to break and thus are not recommended.
NOTE
Metal (Type IV) tapes are not recommended.
Warranty Exclusion
Telex does not warrant or quarantee the performance of the X-Gen tape
duplication products in configuration with any hardware that is not the
standard. If you have any questions on this matter, please feel free to
contact Telex Communications, Inc.
