CARE & MAINTENANCE

Always check that the tape is wound tightly inside the take-up spool on
the cassette. If the tape is loose, wind it with a six-sided pencil.

A. Never use C-120 style cassettes (120 minute cassettes) in this

player.

B. Never insert a cassette into your player when the vehicle

temperature is near or below freezing.

CLEANING OF TAPE HEAD & CAPSTAN

Since the tapes contain oxides, you will find black residue building up
on the tape head and drive capstan (inside cassette door). These

residues should be cleaned after 50 to 100 hours of accumulated tape

operation. You can either clean them by hand, with a cotton swab

slightly damp with alcohol (do not use any petroleum solvent) or a
commercial tape head cleaning solution available at most stereo

stores. Or you can use a special cleaning cassette (also available at
stereo stores) that automatically cleans the head and capstan when
inserted.

DEMAGNETIZING

The movement of the magnetic tape across the head and metal parts

of the tape player causes a magnetic field to develop. We recommend
you have the tape player demagnetized at least twice annually. You
can buy an inexpensive demagnetizing tool or have a stereo shop do

it for you.
