CLEANING THE TAPE-
HANDLING PARTS
Clean the tape head after about ev-
ery 20 hours of playing time. Insert a
special head-cleaning cassette (such
as Cat. No. 44-1202), and follow the
cassette's directions to clean the
tape head.
RESTORING TAPE
TENSION AND SOUND
QUALITY
After you play a cassette tape a few
times, the tape might become tightly
wound on the reels. This can cause
playback sound quality to deterio-
rate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-
forward the tape from the beginning
to the end of one side, then rewind it.
Then loosen the tape reels by gently
tapping each side of the cassette's
outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage
the cassette when tapping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the cassette.
