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:
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 PLAY
BUTTON (#1)
and use a small cotton swab with tape head
cleaner or alcohol to clean the tape head,
capstan and pinch roller as shown:
