4. CASSETTE PRECAUTIONS AND CARE

1.Tape slack can lead to operating difficulties. Remove tape slack before inserting a cas- sette, particularly when using C-90 or prere- corded cassettes.

2.Use C-30 to C-90 cassettes. Avoid use of C-120 or longer cassettes (The very thin tape may stretch or break).

3.Clean the head periodically with a good com- mercial head cleaner. Avoid touching the head with magnetic or hard objects.

4.Do not oil the cassette mechanism.

5.Always remove the cassette from the mecha- nism when not in use. Exposure to direct sun- light, extreme temperatures or high humidity may damage cassettes.

6.The cassette tape will automatically eject from the mechanism if it is damaged. Always ensure that cassette tapes are in good condi- tion prior to use.

5. DCP (Detachable Control Panel)

CAUTION

The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks. After removing it, place it in its case and be careful not to drop it or subject it to strong shocks.

When the release button is pressed and the DCP is unlocked, the car’s vibrations may cause it to fall. To prevent damage to the DCP, always store it in its case after detaching it.

The connector connecting the source unit and the DCP is an extremely important part. Be careful not to damage it by pressing on it with fingernails, pens, screwdrivers, etc.
