Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

• Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the
recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.

• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the
tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the
reel and take up any slack.

• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.
Remove or replace loose labels.

• The sound may become distorted while playing

the cassette. The cassette player head should be
cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes
is not recommended except for long
continuous play

The tape used for these cassettes is very thin and
tends to stretch easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to become entangled in the
cassette deck mechanism.
