sette tape with the total playback
time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are
too thin, we suggest that you do
not use any of them to avoid hav-ing tapes being tangled.

using a cotton stick with colorlessalcohol (once per month).
 If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by winding with objects like a pencil.
 Because dust or foreign objects on a cassette tape may damage the
playback head, always store tapes
in their cases when not in use.
 Make sure cassette tapes are kept away from magnetic devices (TV,stereo system, etc) in order to
achieve better sound quality.

inserted into the cassette tape player.
