Use only casette 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 cassette 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.

anything other than cassette tapes into the slot, or
