84Cassette tape player operating tips
Use only cassette tapes of good quality, having no
damage. Avoid using tapes with a total playing time longer
than 90 minutes.
Using damaged tapes may cause harm to the tape player.
Longer tapes are not recommended because of their thinness.
Be sure that the tape is not slack and that the label is firmly
stuck on the shell before insertion.
Wind the tape firmly by turning the hub with a pencil or the like.
Be careful not to touch the tape surface.
When not in use, take the cassette out of the player, put it
back into its case and store it away from dust, magnets
and direct sunlight.
Leaving cassettes on the dashboard in the sun could damage
your tapes.
Keep the interior mechanism of the cassette player clean.
Once or twice a month, use a wet type cleaning cassette to
clean off tape coating residue accumulated on the head,
capstan and pinch roller.
NOTICE:
Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert
anything other than cassette tapes into the slot, or the
tape player may be damaged.
