It always takes a little time to become familiar with a new appliance. 
If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given.
They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary
service call.

If the above guidelines do not allow you to solve the problem, take a
note of:

The model and serial numbers, normally printed on the rear of
the system

Your warranty details

A clear description of the problem

Then contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG after-sales service.

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the
safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette,
where  the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with
adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its
case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where
they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain
on the tape mechanism.

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the
edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back
in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on
the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.

Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight,
where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Always use compact discs marked           .
