be able to extend the life of the unit if you follow
the instructions below.
To clean the head
• Clean the head after every 10 hours of use using
a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at an
audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
MAINTENANCE
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the cassettes to their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store cassettes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
CAUTION:
• Do not play the cassettes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette
compartment after use, as the tape may become
slack.
