•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.
•Use only
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
HEAD CLEANINGThe tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the STOP/EJECT key to open the cassette door, 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.
