CARE AND MAINTENANCE ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
CASSETTE CARE Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are: 1.) Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and 2.) Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of themechanism. To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed: • Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).
COMPACT DISC CARE • To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. • Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
