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 op-
eration. Your local RadioShack store
sells a wide selection of cassette deck
cleaning supplies.
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 de-
natured alcohol or tape head
cleaning solution to clean the
record/play heads, pinch rollers,
capstans, tape guides, and erase
head.
5. When you finish clean ing, press
STOP/EJECT on both decks,
close the cassette compartment
doors, and reconnect power.
RESETTING THE SYSTEM
If the system does not operate proper-
ly and you are not sure why, unplug
the AC power cord for about 5 minutes
to reset the system. Then plug it in
again.
