Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
•
Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as
any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
•
Keep cassettes away from equipment with
built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the
recorded tape could occur.
•
Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely cold temperatures or moisture.
•
When the tape is played back for a long
period, the cassette shell may become warm
because of the built-in power amplifier.
However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is
not recommended except for long continuous
play. The tapes used for these cassettes are
very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to be pulled into the cassette
deck mechanism.
