cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
dust, moisture or magnetic sources.
ODirect sunlight can cause the cassette

wavering sound quality.

gather a tape coating residue as the
tape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause a weak or wavering

cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
