CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
To restore the sound quality, you must inspect and clean
the tape head. Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating
can accumulate on the tape heads and other parts that
the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the perfor-
mance of the cassette player.
We recommend cleaning the tape head about every 3
months. Rotate
VOLUME clockwise to OFF until it clicks to
turn off the TAD-716, then remove the cassette. Gently
clean the tape-handling parts with a swab dipped in tape
head-cleaning solution, available at your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Caution: To avoid damage to the tape head, never use a
chemical not approved for tape head cleaning and never
touch the tape head with your fingers or any metal object.
