CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be
observed:
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through
the cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose
layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen,
before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown
(see Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape
(visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast
winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.
Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the
tape surfaces.
HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes
particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts
and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the Stop/Eject
key to open the
cassette door, and press the Play
key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan
with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head
cleaner.
