14-1231.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM • Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to per- manent hearing loss. • Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

14-1231.fm Page 18 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM TAPE TIPS Tape Quality For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recom- mend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are extremely thin and can easily tan- gle in the playback mechanism. Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate
