Palsonic PRC-241 Automatic Stop, Cassette Tape Operating Tips, Using Headphone not Included

AUTOMATIC STOP

To protect your cassette tapes and prevent unnecessary wear to the pinch roller of the cassette mechanism, this unit is equipped with an Automatic Stop System. When the tape ends during play, the Cassette Play Button (#9) will automatically release to stop the cassette from running.

CASSETTE TAPE OPERATING TIPS

1.High quality tapes are recommended to obtain maximum quality reproduction from recordings.

2.Tapes with playing time of 120 minutes (C-120) are not recommended because they contain thinner and longer tape that has a greater chance to malfunction and jam, which may damage the cassette mechanism.

3.To obtain good reproduction, the head should be cleaned after every 10 to 20 hours of use. It is also recommended that the cassette be kept away from excessive heat or cold.

4.If there is slack in the tape, remove the slack prior to inserting the cassette. To remove the slack, insert a pencil into the hub and rotate clockwise as shown below:

Tape Take-up Reel

5.A leader tape is provided at the beginning on each cassette. There is no recording on this area, so it is necessary to let the tape run for about five seconds to clear the head.

6.Keep the tape head clean since a dirty head can cause distorted sound or improper tape speed. Depress the Cassette Play Button and use a small cotton swab with tape head cleaner or alcohol to

clean the tape head, capstan and pinch roller as shown below:
