Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
Your tapes will sound best if you clean your cassette
tape player from time to time. Use a non-abrasive
cleaning cassette instead of a music tape. Follow the
instructions on the cleaning cassette.
Store cassette tapes away from extreme heat or direct
sunlight. Protect the open ends from dirt or damage;
store them in their original cases or other protective
cases. Cassettes eventually wear out and you may need
to replace them if they become noisy.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust.
If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edee.
