Installing

the

Cassette

Deck

The

cassette

deck

may

produce

noise

when

played

back

depending

on

the

place

of

installation.

The

noise

is

due

to

the

effects

of

leakage

flux

caused

by

the

transformer

of

the

receiver.

In

such

cases,

change

the

place

of

installation

or

install

it

away

from

the

receiver.
