them to avoid damage that can be caused by
battery leakage or corrosion.

On placement/operation
• Do not leave the player in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical shock.

be unobstructed for the player to operate
properly and to prolong the life of its
components.

keep personal credit cards using magnetic
coding or spring-wound watches away from
the player to prevent possible damage from
the magnet.

set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a
few minutes before inserting a cassette.
