o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose
or peeling off or tape ejection may be
difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape
surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-
tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with
the open side facing down to prevent dust
from settling in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-
play one given tune or tape section. This
can cause poor tape winding to occur, and
eventually cause excessive internal drag
and poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected
by fast winding the tape from end to end
several times.

If this does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your vehicle.
o The playback head, capstan and pinch
rollers will develop a coating of tape resi-
due that can result in deterioration of sound
quality, such as a wavering sound. They
should be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning tape or
special solution available from audio spe-
cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc-
tions carefully and never oil any part of the
tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting in the
player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock-
ets to wind up any slack.

NOTE:
Look at a tape before you insert it. If the
tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of
the hubs with a pencil or your finger. If the
label is peeling off, do not put it in the drive
mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where they are
exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity,
such as on top of the dashboard or in the
player. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat
or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature
before putting it in the player.
