CLEANING THE TAPE- HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can cause noise and poor high-frequency response which can greatly reduce the cassette play- er’s performance.

To help keep the cassette player work- ing at its best, clean the cassette play- er’s tape-handling parts after every 20 hours of use using a tape cleaning kit, such as Cat. No. 44-1115, not sup- plied.

1.Remove the batteries and discon- nect any other power source.

2.Open the cassette compartment cover.

3.Press the erase-protection tab sensor, then press RECORD to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.Gently clean the capstan, pinch roller, tape guides, and record/ play head.
