CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coating can accumu-
late on the tape heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the
cassette player. After every 20 hours of tape player oper-
ation, follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts
or use a cassette deck cleaning kit (Cat. No. 44-1202).

1. Remove the batteries and/or disconnect the AC

adapter.

2. Open the cassette compartment door.

3. Press

PLAY

to expose the tape-handling parts.
