CLEANING THE T

CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS

APE HEADS

When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled,

distorted or reduced sound during playback and may even result in tape jams.

Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with

commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10

seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.

TTTTTAPE HEADS

APE HEADS

APE HEADS - The tape heads should be cleaned periodically with a special

cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi stores) to remove the particles of brown

oxide coating from the tapes that collected on these heads. These particles fill the gap

in the heads and degrade performance.
