Care notes

To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-30 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 120 “Fahrenheit (50 “Celsius). Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. Af- ter approximately 100 hours of use, dust par- ticles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to tape run problems and sound distortions.

Use a head cleaning tape to remove nor- mal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard ob- ject into the player!
