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.
Use the following cleaning procedure
after every 20 hours of tape player
operation.
1. Remove the batteries and dis-
connect the AC or DC power
cord.
2. Open the cassette compartment
door.
3. Press PLAY to expose the tape-
handling parts.
4. Use a cotton swab dipped in
denatured alcohol or tape head-
cleaning solution to clean the
record/play head, pinch roller,
capstan, and erase head.
5. When you finish cleaning, press
STOP/EJECT and close the cas-
sette compartment door.
Your local Radio Shack store sells a
complete line of cassette cleaning
supplies.
