Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape deck’s tape

heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the perfor-
mance of the cassette player. Use the following cleaning procedure for the cassette
deck after every 20 hours of tape player operation.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Open the cassette compartment door.

3. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution

to clean the record/play head, pinch roller, capstan, erase head, and tape
guides.

4. When you finish cleaning, close the cassette compartment door and reconnect

power.

Your local RadioShack store sells a complete line of cassette deck cleaning sup-
plies.
