Precautions When Using Compact Discs
Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.
When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.
Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked COMPACT .

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes
Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.
Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.
