Be careful not to touch the tape surface. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
Avoid the following places to store the tape: In dusty places In direct sunlight or heat In moist areas Near a magnet

Cassette decks

DO NOT use any solvent such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine to clean the disc.
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks become dirty, the following will occur: Impaired sound quality Discontinuous sound Fading Incomplete erasure Difficulty in recording To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

Pinch rollers Capstans
