Notes:
1. The recording head’s appro x
(8 hours per day for 500 days) by using two units alternatively.
2. The C-120 tapes (120 minutes’ recording time for both sides) and endless tapes are
not recommended because their tapes are extremely thin and can often be slack or
twist, leading to unstable operation.
The C-90 (90 minutes) and C-60 (60 minutes) are most commonly used.
