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.

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.
