CASSETTE TAPES

There are many different types of cassette tapes

available. However, they all conform to standard

specifications so any brand may be used with the deck.

÷ Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation

Cassette tapes are available in four basic types

depending on their formulation, or type of magnetic

material and manufacturing process. These four types

are commonly known as Normal (Type I/NORM),

Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO

2>), Ferrichrome (Type III/

FeCr), and Metal (Type IV/METAL), and they each

require specific tape deck adjustments for optimum

performance.

* YAMAHA does not recommend the use of 120 minute

length cassettes since the extreme thinness of the tape

makes them susceptible to mechanical and recording

problems.

AUTO TAPE SELECTOR DETECTION SLOTS

The deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which

automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level and

equalization according to the tape formulation — all you

have to do is load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector

does the rest.

The Auto Tape Selector determines which type of tape is

loaded by sensing detector slots in the top of the tape

shell. Each tape formulation has its own characteristic

hole markings standardized by the tape industry.

÷ Early model Metal (Type IV/Metal) tape formulation

cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape

Selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type

tapes recorded on another deck will be played back

with the deck at the Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO

2>)

settings. YAMAHA does not recommend using this kind

of tape.

÷ The deck does not have the required setting for

Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr) tape, since this tape

formulation is not widely used. Should you use a

Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back

at the Normal (Type I/NORM) settings, which will result

in an unnatural high frequency emphasis. This effect

may be compensated for somewhat by adjusting the

BIAS ADJUST to the plus (+) direction during

recording, or by using the PLAY TRIM control and/or

the tone controls of your amplifier/receiver during

playback.

PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS

All cassette tapes are provided with erasure protection

holes to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents.

There is a small tab covering the hole on each side of the

cassette, and it should be broken off after recording the

tape. Without this tab covering the hole, it is impossible to

record onto that tape. Thus, you can safely protect a

recording for as long as you wish without fear of

accidental erasure. Should you wish to use a cassette

tape protected in this way for recording, simply covering

the hole with adhesive tape will permit erasure and re-

recording.

÷ When using Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO

2>) or Metal

(Type IV/METAL) tapes, make sure you do not cover

the hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation.

STORING CASSETTES

After putting a cassette tape back into its case, store it in

a location away from exposure to direct sunlight, humidity,

high temperatures, and magnetic fields (away from

television sets, speakers, etc.). High temperatures and

humidity will damage the tape itself, while exposure to

magnetic fields may cause a loss of recorded material.

Avoid touching the tape surface with your fingers, since

dirt or finger oil will contaminate the deck’s heads.

TAKING UP SLACK IN THE TAPE

As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage,

remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes

into the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil,

pen or similar object into one of the spools and gently

winding it until all the slack is removed. You do not have

to wind it too tightly.

Be careful not to touch the tape part itself. It is very

delicate and touching it may damage the tape and its

recorded contents.
