Question about cassette player settings

Bought a used Nakamichi cassette player (LX-5) with no manual. The player offers 3 Tape Selections - EX, SX, and ZX. I'm familiar with Type I, II and IV tapes, but not with the Nakamichi settings. What do I use? Also, the player offers 2 EQ settings - 70 and 120. Again I'm at a loss about which to use since neither my pre-recorded nor blank tapes indicate an EQ setting. Can anyone give me some guidance? Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Thanks for all the responses. I've gotten quite an education. I'm blown away by the quality of sound coming from the LX-5 using pre-recorded tapes (a variety of brands of both CrO2 and metal) that I made back in 1991 on a relatively inexpensive Nak (CRA-1 I think). I'd swear the dynamics and high and low end are better than the source CD.
Again, thanks for your help.
