BASIC OPERATIONS
Make sure that power to both the deck and your amplifier/receiver is turned off
before making any connections. If the deck is placed near an amplifier, TV or
tuner, noise (induced hum) or beat interference may result. If this occurs, place
the deck further away from other components or reorient its position.
C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as they use a very thin tape base
which may become tangled around the capstan or pinch roller.
