Cassette Auto Reverse Operation

Cassette Care

Before inserting cassette it is recommended that any excess tape slack be eliminated For
best performance follow these simple “Do’s and Don’ts.”
Do not store cassettes in direct sunlight to avoid warping the cassette case and damaging
the USA-1 tape mechanism.
Do not leave a cassette inserted when the unit is switched off. This minimizes wear to the
capstan and pinch roller.
Do not store cassettes near any device that might generate a magnetic field (any device
with a transformer, motor or any electrical windings, car speakers, permanent magnets,
etc.).
