Cassette Care

As with any cassette player, the cassette sec- tion of this sound system does require a minimum of maintenance to keep it in good working condition. The following simple care and maintenance suggestions should be fol- lowed to prevent malfunctions of the cassette system:

1.Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store. Use it! At least every 20 to 30 hours of operation you must clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty cassette player will have a poor sound.

2.Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on each side.

3.Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted or dirty, or with loose or torn labels on it.

4.Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing conditions. If a cassette is cold, allow it to warm up before use.

5.Do not keep a cassette in the player when not in use.

6.Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the reels.

Take up any excess slack using a pencil to turn the drive hub in the cassette (see diagram).
