HEADPHONES
Headphones should have a 3.5mm diameter stereo plug and an impedance of 8-32 ohms.
When headphones are connected, the speakers are automatically disconnected.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
(a) Tape jamming - Leading to uneven speed in playback,
(b) Tape tangling - Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be
observed.
Check that there is no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window take up
any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barreled ballpoint pen, before inserting the
cassette into the machine. If the cassette feels "tight" 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. The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning.
