Cleaning
In order to avoid tape transport errors you should regularly clean the parts of the cassette
recorder which have contact with the tape. Either use a cleaning cassette available from
specialized dealers or clean the parts shown below manually. For this, you will need a cotton
bud soaked in spirit or a lint-free cotton cloth. Never use hard or metallic items for cleaning:
this would damage the device.
Unplug the device, open the cassette department and press the Play and Pause
buttons without a cassette being inserted. Begin the cleaning.
