CARE AND MAINTENANCE CASSETTE CARE Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are: 1.) Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and 2.) Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism. To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed: • Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).
COMPACT DISC CARE • To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. • Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
