CASSETTE CARE
TWO COMMON CAUSES OF TROUBLE EXPERIENCED WHEN USING CASSETTES ARE:
1. TAPE JAMMING, LEADING TO UNEVEN SPEED DURING PLAYBACK.
2. TAPE ENTANGLING, WHEN THE TAPE WRAPS ITSELF AROUND VITAL PARTS OF
THE MECHANISM.
TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRING, TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
•
CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO LOOSE LAYERS OF TAPE VISIBLE THROUGH THE
CASSETTE CENTRE WINDOW (SEE FIG. 1).
•
TAKE UP ANY LOOSE LAYERS, USING A PENCIL OR HEXAGONALLY BARRELLED
BALLPOINT PEN, BEFORE INSERTING THE CASSETTE (SEE FIG. 2).
NOTES:
IF THE CASSETTE FEELS TIGHT WHILST PERFORMING THIS OPERATION
(SEE FIG. 2), THE TAPE MAY BE JAMMING DUE TO RIDGES FORMED IN THE WINDING
OF THE TAPE (VISIBLE THROUGH THE CENTRE WINDOW). IN MOST CASES, THESE
MAY BE REMOVED BY FAST REWINDING OF THE CASSETTE FROM ONE END TO THE
OTHER AND BACK AGAIN. WE RECOMMEND YOU USE ONLY WELL-KNOWN BRANDS
OF TAPE. DO NOT EXPOSE CASSETTES TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, DUST OR OIL, AND
DO NOT TOUCH THE TAPE SURFACES.
