To maintain high quality sound
If you have drink holders near your audio

Notes on cassette deck tape head
• I ong use of cassette tapes contaminates the
tape head causing poor sound quality or 
complete sound dix^pout. Therefore, we 
recommend cleaning the tape head once a 
month or st> with the separateh’ awulable 
Son\’ Cassette Cleaning Set. If the sound does 
not improx e after using a cleaning cassette, 
please ccvrsult vour nearest Son^' dealer.

tape head gets contaminated much more 
quickh’. Depending on the tape, one or two 
playbacks may cause poor sound.
Cassette care
• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as
any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
• Keep cassettes away from equipment with
built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the 
recorded tape could occur.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely cold temperatures or moisture.
• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be
caught in the machine. Before you insert the 
tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the 
reel and take up any slack.
Slack
»Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause
problems when inserting or ejecting tapes. 
Remove or replace loose labels.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is 
not recommended except for long continuous 
play. The tapes used for these cassettes are 
very thin and tend to be stretched easily. 
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes 
may cause them to be pulled into the cassette 
deck mechanism.
