A Word about cassette tapes
Handling
@
Do
not
touch
the
tape
with
your
fingers
as
high
frequency
signals
cannot
be
recorded
in
places
which
are
not
clean.
Dirty
tapes
may
also
cause
distortion
or
sound
loss
dur-
ing
playback.
®
Do
not
leave
the
cassette
tape
near
equipment
which
generates
a
magnetic
field.
(TVs,
speaker
systems,
etc.)
Tape
slack
and
leader
tape
advancement
Tape
slack
can
cause
the
tape
to
twist
or
tangle
around
the
capstan
and
pinch
roller
and
ruin
important
recordings.
Be-
fore
using
a
cassette
tape,
take
up
tape
slack
with
a
pencil.
Most
cassette
tapes
include
clear
leader
tape
at
the
beginn-
ing.
As
recording
is
impossible
on
this
leader
tape,
it
should
be advanced
before
recording
is
begun.
Storage
e
Always
put
the
cassette
tape
back
into
its
plastic
case
af-
ter
using
it.
Store
it
in
a
dry
place,
away
from
direct
sun-
light,
heat
(stoves,
etc.)
and
equipment
which
generates
a
magnetic
field
(TVs,
speaker
systems,
etc.).
®
Store
the.cassette
tape
with
the
tape
taken
up
at
the
fixed
speed
of
recording
or
playback.
When
the
tape
is
not
taken
up
in
an
orderly
manner
(in
other
words,
fast
for-
warded
or
rewound),
the
tape
might
stretch
or
warp.
e
If
you
are
not
going
to
use
the
cassette
tape
for
a
long
time,
rewind
or
fast
forward
the
tape
once
in
a
while.
This
is
to
prevent
music
signals
from
imprinting
themselves
over
other
music
signals
when
tape
surfaces
are
in
close
contact
for
a
long
time.
Rewinding
or
fast
forwarding
the
tape
also
prevents
moisture
