noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with

any commercially available demagnetizer.

Care of discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

• After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes

• Store tapes in their cases after use.

• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
