					Notes on Cassettes   
					Cassette care   
					• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as   
					any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.   
					• Keep cassettes away from equipment with   
					built-in magnets such as speakers and   
					amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the   
					recorded tape could occur.   
					• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,   
					extremely cold temperatures or moisture.   
					• When the tape is played back for a long   
					period, the cassette shell may become warm   
					because of the built-in power amplifier.   
					However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.   
					Cassettes longer than 90 minutes   
					The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is   
					not recommended except for long continuous   
					play. The tapes used for these cassettes are   
					very thin and tend to be stretched easily.   
					Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes   
					may cause them to be pulled into the cassette   
					deck mechanism.

					Fuse Replacement   
					When replacement the fuse, be sure to use one   
					with the correct amperage which is started on   
					the fuse case. Never use a fuse whose   
					amperage rating exceeds the one supplied to   
					the unit as this could cause a malfunction of   
					the unit.
