Cassette shells are designed to prevent touching the

tape directly by hand.

DAT cassettes record and play in one direction only.

Do not load DAT cassettes upside down.

DAT cassettes have a tape protection lid on the front

edge to protect the tape. Do not open this lid forcibly,

and do not pull the tape out from the cassette or touch
it with your fingers.

Be sure to replace DAT cassettes in their plastic case

for storage.

Do not place DAT cassettes on a television, speaker

or near equipment which could generate a magnetic
field.

The tape used in 180-min cassettes is extremely thin

and can cause winding problems, crimping,

wrinkling, and other damage to the tape which will
destroy your work. Don't use 180-min cassettes in
this deck.
