Maintenance
To get the best performance from the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.
Handling cassette tapes
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take
up the slack by inserting a pencil in
one of the reels and rotating.
• If the tape is loose, it may get
stretched, cut, or caught in the
cassette.
• Be careful not to touch the tape
surface.
• Avoid storing tapes in the following
places:
— In dusty places
— In direct sunlight or heat
— In moist areas
— Near a magnet
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing in
the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of
the disc when placing it back in its
case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to
clean the disc.
