Care notes
19
To avoid possible problems, we recommend
you to use
type cassette tapes
only. Store your tapes in a cool place away
from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding
120 “Fahrenheit (50 “Celsius). Allow very
cold tapes to warm up before playing them
in order to avoid uneven tape transport. Af-
ter approximately 100 hours of use, dust par-
ticles collected on the playback head or roller
may lead to tape run problems and sound
distortions.
Use a head cleaning tape to remove nor-
mal
build-up. For tougher cases, use a
cotton swab (Q-Tip) soaked with alcohol. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting a hard ob-
ject into the player!
