than C-90, otherwise sound qual-
ity and tape durability will be
greatly diminished.
(2) Keep the cassette tape in its case
to protect it from tape looseness
and dust when it is not used.
(3) Keep the cassette tape away from
direct sunlight, heat and magnet-
ic fields such as the radio
speakers.
(4) Before inserting the cassette,
make sure that the label is ad-
hered securely to the cassette.
(5) A loose tape should be corrected
before use.
CAUTION
(6) Do not oil any part of the player
and do not insert any object other
than tape cassettes into the slot,
or the tape player may be dam-
aged. Also, avoid inserting your

the CD player being damaged.
(2) When the temperature suddenly rises,
i.e. immediately after the heater is
turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of oper-
ation. In such a case, allow some time
before use.

sunlight, or in any place where the tem-
perature or humidity is high.

ence and the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean, dry
cloth. Wipe directly from the centre hole
toward the outer-edge; do not wipe in a
circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the

badly warped. Doing so might cause a
malfunction of the disc player.

cil, etc. to write on the label surface of
the disc, and do not attach any other la-
bels, seals, etc.
