Before placing a cassette in the tape

deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may
get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become
damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90

minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use
a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use
with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing
cassette.
