CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING PARTS

To restore the sound quality, you must inspect and clean the tape head. 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 perfor- mance of the cassette player.

We recommend cleaning the tape head about every 3 months. Rotate VOLUME clockwise to OFF until it clicks to turn off the TAD-716, then remove the cassette. Gently clean the tape-handling parts with a swab dipped in tape head-cleaning solution, available at your local Ra- dioShack store.

Caution: To avoid damage to the tape head, never use a chemical not approved for tape head cleaning and never touch the tape head with your fingers or any metal object.
