Cassettes
To obtain optimum playing conditions we
give the following advice:
– do not use poor quality cassettes, with
distortions or labels detached;
– never leave the cassette in the radio
when not in use;
– never insert other objects in the cassette
slot;
– do not expose cassettes to the sun or
high temperatures;
– put cassettes back in their boxes after
use;
– over time, dirt on the playing head
caused by tapes may reduce the high notes
when playing. You are therefore advised to
clean the head routinely using a special
cleaner taper of the non abrasive type;
– preferably use C-60 cassettes and in any
case no longer than C-90 to ensure the best
playing conditions;
– avoid inserting cassettes with damaged
tapes in the radio, especially if using C-90
cassettes, as the tape might come out and
get stuck;
– do not lubricate the cassette mecha-
nism;
– do not touch the player head with mag-
netic or hard objects.
Compact Discs
Remember that dirt, marks or distortion on
Compact Disc can cause skipping. For top
performance conditions, we give the fol-
lowing advice:
– Only use Compact Discs which have the
following brand:
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs of fin-
gerprints and dust using a soft cloth. Sup-
port Compact Discs from the outer circum-
ference and clean from the centre outwards.
– Never use chemical products for clean-
ing (e.g. spray cans, antistatic or thinners)
as they might damage the surface of Com-
pact Discs.
– After use, put Compact Discs back in
their container, to avoid marks or scratches
that may cause skipping when playing.
– Do not expose Compact Discs to direct
sunlight, high temperatures or damp for pro-
longed lengths of time to prevent them from
bending.
– Do not stick labels or write on the record-
ed surface of Compact Discs.
To remove a Compact Disc from its con-
tainer, press the centre and raise the disc
carefully, holding it by the outer circumfer-
ence.
