Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape sever- al times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to de- teriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-for- ward the tape from the beginning to the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat sur- face.

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.

1.Disconnect power.

2.Open the cassette compartment doors.

3.Press PLAY on both decks to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution to clean the record/play head, pinch roller, capstan, and erase head.

Cleaning the Tape Handling Parts

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the cassette player. Use the following cleaning procedure after every 20 hours of tape player operation. Your local Radio Shack store sells a wide selection of cas- sette cleaning supplies.

5.When you finish cleaning, press STOP/EJECT on both decks and close the cassette compartment doors.
