Handling Cassette Tapes
Handling Compact Discs
Handling
• New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. If such discs
are used, the player may
not work or the sound
may skip. Use a ball-point
pen or the like to remove
any roughness from the
edge of the disc.
• Never stick labels on the surface of the com-
pact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or
pen.
• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane
tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks.
If you try to play such a compact disc, you may
not be able to get it back out of the CD player
or it may damage the CD player.
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of
such discs may cause misoperation or damage.
• To remove a compact disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and lift
the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Use only compact discs bearing the mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.
Using any of the following types of cassette tapes
can cause malfunctions.
• Cassette tapes with low recording levels
• Cassette tapes in which the unrecorded sec-
tion between songs is shorter than 4 seconds
• Cassette tapes with noise or the like recorded
between songs
• Cassette tapes on which there are long unre-
corded sections in the middle of a song
Handling precautions
• Slack in the tape can cause malfunctions. In
• Avoid using cassettes of 120 minutes or longer.
(Such cassettes have extremely thin tape, so
the tape can become stretched or cut.)
• Periodically play a cleaning cassette in the
player to clean the head.
• Keep magnets, screwdrivers, and other iron
and steel and magnetic items away from both
cassette tapes and the tape head in the player.
• Do not oil the cassette mechanism.
• Do not use any cassette tapes with peeling la-
bels or deformed cases. Such cassette tapes
can cause breakdowns.
• When not using the player, always take the cas-
sette out of the mechanism. Exposing a cas-
sette to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,
or high humidity can damage the cassette.

Cleaning
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.

available cleaners, anti-static spray or thinner
to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the
compact disc dry off well before playing it.
particular for prerecorded

any slack in the tape be-
fore inserting it into the
cassette player.
