When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
2.Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
