Using any of the following types of cassette
tapes can cause malfunctions.
• Avoid using cassettes of 120 minutes or longer.
(Such cassettes have extremely thin tape, so
the tape can become stretched or cut.)
• Periodically play a cleaning cassette in the
player to clean the head.
• Keep magnet items like magnets, and iron and
steel items like screwdrivers away from both
cassette tapes and the tape head in the player.
• Do not oil the cassette mechanism.
• Do not use any cassette tapes with peeling
labels or deformed cases.Such cassette tapes
can cause breakdowns.
• When not using the player, always take the
cassette out of the mechanism. Exposing a
cassette to direct sunlight, extreme tempera-
tures or high humidity can damage the cas-
sette.
