TAPE TIPS

We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle.

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause play- back sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Loos- en the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

You can set the cassette player to play up to 5 hours and 59 minutes, then automati- cally turn off. The cassette player must be on to set sleep timer.
