Before Use
ªCassette Tape Handling
Tape Handling:
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.
ªLoading a Cassette Tape
1. Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub
and take up any slack tape.
Note:
Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and
dirt.
2. Press the STOP/EJECT button to open it.

Beware of condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from
a cold to a warm place or used after a sudden tem-
perature change, there is the danger of condensa-
tion. Water vapor in the air could condense on the
mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water
form on these parts, correct playback will be impos-
sible because the laser cannot read the information
from the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are
going to use the player in a condition where con-
densation could occur, you should leave the player
for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC outlet
depending on the amount of condensation. If this is
done, the player will stabilize at the temperature of
its surroundings.
