metallic or magnetic tools.

cases after use.

CAUTION:
• Do not play the cassettes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette
compartment after use, as the tape may become
slack.

longer life of this unit.
