The AVR-1 and AVR-3 are exceptions because of their servo reel motors.

The loose pack <br>will confuse the vacuum tensioners in the AVR-1 or the mechanical <br>tensioners in the AVR-3, which could result in tape damage.<br> Wind the tape SLOWLY on a good ol' VR-2000 or VR-1200. An AVR-2 <br>would probably be OK too. After completely winding the tape in one <br>direction, remove the tape from the original reel and clean the empty <br>reel thoroughly with the vacuum cleaner.
