Cassette Maintenance
- KEEP THE RECORDING HEADS CLEAN
Tape heads can periodically build up a coating of oxide residue from the passage of the tape over them. We
recommend you clean the heads periodically using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol or a specially manufactured tape
head cleaner. Use foam applicators or surgical cotton applicators and clean in the direction of the tape
movement.
Tape head cleaner and applicators may be purchased from any electronics dealer.
Do not use denatured alcohol, as it contains excess impurities which can damage the tape heads.
Do not use commercial cotton swabs, as they can leave fibers which can damage the tape heads.
- CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
Store tapes in their cases to prevent dust and dirt from coming in contact with the tape surface.
Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.
If the tape has unraveled, insert a pencil or similar object into the sprocket and tighten to remove slack. (See Picture 1.)
Wind the tape until it is even and tight with a
pencil.
Touching the surface of the tape with
your finger will damage sound quality
by transferring skin oils and dirt.
