Precautions When Using Audio
Cassettes
Before Contacting the 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.
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.
