Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player— you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Using cassette tapes

The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can jam in the tape deck mechanism. If the tape has become unwound, use a pen or pencil to wind it back on to the spool.

When not using cassettes, always store in the case. Store cassettes away from magnetic fields, excessive heat, humidity, dust or oil.

Before recording on a tape, wind the tape on past the leader tape (about the first 3 or 4 seconds of each side).

Tapes you should avoid

Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin, they are more susceptible to jamming in the tape deck mechanism and other trouble such as irregular winding. Avoid using cassette tapes longer than 90 minutes.

Protecting your recordings

You can protect an important recording against accidental erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small screwdriver.
