•If the cassette feels tight while performing operation
shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to |
|
ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible |
|
through the center window). These may be removed, in |
|
most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one |
|
end to the other and back again. | Fig. 2 |
• Use only
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
HEAD CLEANING

parts and impair performance.Switch off the power, press the Stop/Eject 
key to
open the cassettedoor, and press the Play 
key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.
