PLAY TRIM CONTROL ADJUSTMENT on page 9 13 CASSETTE TAPES 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 e 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 lt CrO2 gt 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 to 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 e Early model Metal Type IV Metal tape formulation cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape Selector operation As a result earl
