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 greatly re- duce the cassette player’s perfor- mance. To prevent noise and poor high-frequency response, clean the cassette player’s tape-handling parts after every 20 hours of use. Your local RadioShack store sells a complete line of cleaning kits.

Follow these steps to clean the tape- handling parts on your system’s cas- sette decks.

1.Turn off the system, then unplug the power cord.

Note: Unplugging the system clears any programs in the CD changer’s memory.

2.Press STOP/EJECT on both cas- sette decks. Both cassette com- partment doors open.

3.Press PLAY on both cassette decks to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution to gently clean the record/play heads, pinch roll- ers, capstans, tape guides, and erase head.
