Using any of the following types of cassette  
tapes can cause malfunctions.  
• 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 magnet items like magnets, and iron and  
steel items like screwdrivers 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  
labels or deformed cases.Such cassette tapes  
can cause breakdowns.
