CD Lens Care
• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause
the system to output poor sound quality. To
clean the lens you will need to purchase a CD
lens cleaner which can maintain the output
sound quality of your system. For instructions on
cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones
accompanying the lens cleaner.
Cassettes
• To protect your
recordings from accidental
erasure on one or both
sides of your cassette, snap
out the tab at the top of the
cassette. If you decide later to
record on the tape, seal the
hole with a piece of adhesive
tape. (Refer to diagram on the right)
• Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack
in your tapes can cause scratches on
the tape, or worse yet, the tape
could break. If you notice some slack
in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.
