Cassette tape operating tips
To ensure maximum quality recordings, we recommend that you only
use only high quality tapes with the Cassette Player.
Tapes with a playing time of 120 minutes (C-120) are not
recommended. These contain thinner and longer tape, which has a
greater chance of malfunctioning and/or jamming, and may damage
the cassette mechanism.
To ensure good reproduction, please clean the head after every 10-20
hours of use.
Keep the Cassette Player away from excessive heat or cold.
If there is slack in the tape, remove the slack prior to inserting the
cassette. To remove the slack, insert a pencil into the hub and rotate
clockwise (see below).
17
Leader tape
There is a ‘leader tape’ at the beginning on each cassette tape. There
is no recording on this area. Always allow the tape to run for about
ve seconds to reach the recording tape.
Always keep the tape head clean. A dirty head can cause distorted
sound or improper tape speed.
To clean, simply depress the PLAY button (3) and use a small cotton
swab with tape head cleaner or alcohol to clean the tape head,
capstan and pinch roller

not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
