NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original packing

adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit.

About cassette tapes

CAUTION
o Do not open the cassette or pull the tape out of the cassette.
o Do not touch the tape surface.
o Do not use or store the tape in a humid or dusty place.
o Keep the tape away from any magnetic sources, such as speak-
ers or TVs, otherwise noise may be produced during playback or
important recordings may be erased.

Cassette tapes that you should not use

Poor performance, errors, or malfunctions may result if you use any of
the tapes described below. Some of these tapes may also cause tape
clog problems that can damage the tape transport mechanism.
Cassettes that are imperfectly shaped
Do not use a deformed cassette or one that has unstable tape
movement or makes a strange sound during fast-forward or rewind.
Long play tapes
Tapes that are longer than 90 minutes are very thin and stretch easily,
so using them can result in wow and flutter. In addition, long tapes
can become tangled in the equipment, so please use caution with
them.
Endless tapes
Do not use these tapes because they can easily get tangled in the
tape transport mechanism.
