cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
moisture or magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-

sette to jam in the player.

ing or loose labels. If used, the label
could jam in the player.

gather a tape coating residue as the
tape passes over the head. This resi-
due accumulation can cause a weak

moved periodically with a head clean-
ing tape.

cally, the player may need to be dis-
assembled for cleaning.Compact Disc (CD) Player Opera-
