— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are 
generated.
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a 
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to 
get out.)

in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture 
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the 
tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep 
the unit turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
