Care Of Cassette Tapes - Hyundai Matrix Owner's Manual

CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES

B860A01A-AAT
B860A01L
Proper care of your cassette tapes will
extend the tape life and increase your
listening enjoyment. Always protect
your tapes and cassette cases from
direct sunlight, severe cold and dusty
conditions. When not in use, cassettes
should always be stored in the protec-
tive cassette case. When the vehicle is
very hot or cold, allow the interior tem-
perature to become more comfortable
before listening to your cassettes.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in
the player when not being played.
This could damage the tape player
unit and the cassette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60
minutes total). Tapes such as C-120
or C-180 are very thin and do not
perform as well in the automotive
environment.

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 electric motors, speakers or trans-
formers 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 setting in the cas-
sette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to
replay one given tune or tape sec-
tion. This can cause poor tape wind-
ing to occur, and eventually cause
excessive internal drag and poor
audio quality in the cassette. If this
occurs, it can sometimes be cor-
rected by fast winding the tape from
end to end several times. If this does
not correct the problem, do not con-
tinue to use the tape in your vehicle.
