Precautions on cassette player op-
erations
OTo maintain good quality sound, NIS-
SAN recommends using cassette tapes
of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
OCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
dust, moisture and magnetic sources.
ODirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
ODo not use cassettes with labels
which are peeling and loose. If used,
the label could jam in the player.
OIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly
around the hubs. Loose tape may
cause tape jamming and wavering
sound quality.
OOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller maycollect a tape coating residue as the
tape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause weak or wavering
sound, and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape. If
the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.Fast forwarding or rewinding the
