performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS27750(MBC )08/95]

conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.

If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
*
[AS28101(MBC )08/95]
q
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
*
[AS28200(MBC )08/95]
q
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player when not in use. High heat in the
vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.
