TAPE TIPS
We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s be-
cause they are thin and can easily tangle.
Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality
After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become
tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to
deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the begin-
ning to the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen
the tape reels by gently tapping each edge of the cassette on a flat
surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do
not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cas-
sette.
CARE
Keep the cassette player dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store the cassette player only in normal temperature envi-
ronments. Handle the cassette player carefully; do not drop it. Keep
the cassette player away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the cassette player’s internal compo-
nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and
void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your cassette player is
not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
CLEANING THE
TAPE-HANDLING PARTS
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coating can accumulate 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 operation, follow these steps to clean the tape-han-
dling parts or use a RadioShack cassette deck cleaning kit.
1. Remove the batteries.
2. Open the cassette compartment door and press
JJJJ
/PLAY
to
expose the tape-handling parts.
3. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head
cleaning solution to clean the tape head, tape guide, pinch
roller, and capstan.
