CASSETTE TAPES
Tape Selection:
• Metal and chrome (cobalt) tapes have identification holes.
Tape Handling:
• Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette tape’s hub
and take up any slack tape.
• Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
• As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entangled in the transport
mechanism, do not use them.
Do not store tapes in the following places:
• On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other places with high
temperatures.
• Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong
magnetic fields.
• Where humidity is high or in dirty, dusty places.
Head Maintenance
The head and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized periodically. Please
use a cassette type head cleaning tape and demagnetizer. For specific details on the
proper use of either item, please read each item's instruction manual.
VINYL RECORDS
• Do not touch the record's grooves.
Only handle records by edges or label.
Make sure your hands are clean. Skin
oils from even clean hands can leave
a residue on the record surface that will
gradually deteriorate the quality of
your record.
• Keep your records away from dust. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep records in sleeves and jackets when not in use to avoid dust and scratches.
• Store records upright on edges. Records stored horizontally will bend and warp.
• Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long
exposure to high temperatures will warp records.
• Do not store records in the trunk of a car.
• Store records in an area with a stable temperature and low humidity.
• Should the record become dirty, gently wipe surface
in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth.
