Cassette Tape
Tape Handling
Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take
up any slack tape.
< Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
Do not store tapes in the following places:
< On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other
places with high temperatures.
< Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would
be exposed to strong magnetic fields.
< Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.
< Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
< As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become
entangled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.
