• Keep a large distance between cassettes and magnets or electromagnets. These can be located in motors
as well as speakers, televisions, amplifiers, power devices and transformers in general.
• Do not expose the cassettes to high heat, extreme cold or humidity.
• Keep the cassettes protected from dust in their case.
• The longer the playing time of the cassette (60, 90, 120 minutes) the thinner the band and therefore the
more sensitive it is to mechanical stress.
Compact Disc

• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
