If there is too much tension on the tape dur- ing playback, the set may switch over by it- self before having reached the end of the tape side. In this case check the condition of the cassette tape. Sometimes it helps to rewind it completely.

Listening to the radio during fast tape winding with RM
(Radio Monitor)
When the tape is fast forwarded or rewound (also with CPS), the radio will normally be muted. In order to listen to the radio during fast winding, you can activate the Radio Monitor function.

Care notes
To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50 ° Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles 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) dipped in alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard ob- ject into the player!
