To keep the tape clean
• Always store the cassettes to their storage
cases after use.
• Do not store cassettes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
This unit requires very little attention, but you will
be able to extend the life of the unit if you follow
the instructions below.
To clean the head
• Clean the head after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available
at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
CAUTION:
• Do not play the cassettes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette
compartment after use, as the tape may become
slack.
