Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause
problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.
Remove or replace loose labels.
•
The sound may become distorted while
playing a cassette. The cassette player head
should be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.
Notes on cassette deck tape heads
•
Use of cassette tapes over time contaminates
the tape head causing poor sound quality or
complete sound dropout. Therefore, we
recommend cleaning the tape head once a
month or so with the separately available
Sony Cassette Cleaning Set. If the sound does
not improve after using a cleaning cassette,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
•
In the case of old or inferior cassette tapes,
the tape head becomes contaminated much
more quickly. Depending on the condition of
the tape, as few as one or two playbacks may
cause poor sound.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is
not recommended except for long continuous
play. The tape used in these cassettes is very
thin and tends to stretch easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to become entangled in the
cassette deck mechanism.
