Default Cassette Adapter and MP3

Here's one thing to look out for if you use an MP3 jukebox via a cassette adapter with your SC430. I noticed that insertion of the adapter causes the deck to detect it was a "metal" tape. So it applies the required high frequency deemphasis which is appropriate for a metal tape, but we're not using a source that needs that done. As a result you end up with less high frequency response than normal.

The cause was a slot along the back spine of the cassette adapter which was being detected by the deck as a metal tape type indication hole. Covered that slot with tape and now it is recognized as a normal tape and I get much much better frequency response.
