writing utensils.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner or
alcohol to clean the disc.
• Do not attach stickers or pieces of paper. (When stickers
have been adhered, the glue or other substances may
have oozed out. Since this may cause malfunctioning,
remove all stickers and paper before use.)

those specified for use with this unit.
■ Selection of cassette tapes
Cassette tapes exceeding 100 minutes:
These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording
time but be careful about repeatedly stopping and starting,
rewinding and fast forwarding these tapes in short intervals
as they are thin, tend to stretch and may become entangled
in the deck mechanism.
Endless tapes:
Failure to operate these tapes correctly may cause the tape
to wind around the revolving parts.
B If the tape loosens, take up the slack
Tape slack may cause the tape to break.
B To prevent erasure of recorded sounds
Remove the erase-prevention tabs with a screwdriver or a
similar object.
To re-record on a protected cassette, cover the slot with
adhesive tape.
