A:
This recorder takes standard Philips-type compact cassettes, the large, robust kind that are most readily available. You'll want standard iron oxide-based tapes (FeO2), not chromium dioxide (CrO2) or metal-coated tapes. CrO2 and metal tape are meant for high-end music recording and playback, and require fancier tape decks. Don't buy the cheapest tapes you can find, as they provide inferior sound. They can also jam, come out of the cassette housing and get tangled inside your recorder, even physically warp or break. Buy good quality FeO2 tapes from reputable makers, in C-60 or C-90 formats for an hour or an hour and a half recording time. C-120s will hold more sound, but the tape is so thin it's prone to tangling and other problems.
