Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have used the tape player many times over a long period,
magnetic powder from the tapes and dust accumulates on the tape
head, causing noise and a deterioration in sound quality. Clean the
tape head using a cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use in car
audio systems.
Handling Cassette Tapes
• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone slack. In such a case,
wind it tight using a pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing
slack cassette tapes can result in the tape tangling around the cap-
stan and/or pinch rollers, causing trouble.
• Do not play a deformed cassette or one whose label is starting to
come off, as it can cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as above the fascia panel
(dashboard) and other spots exposed to direct sunlight, or near
heater outlets. They can deform the cassette.
• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes, such as 100-minute-long
tapes. Such tapes are very thin, and can tangle easily around the
pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit, causing unit failure.
• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when not listening to it for a
whilst. If you leave a tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the tape
head and cause unit malfunction.
