locations shown in the following

After using the cassette
Rewind the tape to the beginning to avoid 
distortion of the picture or the sound. The

on a cassette with a cotton-wool swab after 
every 10 times it has been ejected.
If the gold-plated connector on the cassette 
is dirty or dusty, the remaining tape 
indicator may not show correctly.
