CLEANING THE TAPE-
HANDLING PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's
coating can accumulate on the tape
heads and other parts the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the
cassette recorder's performance.
To prevent noise and poor high-fre-
quency response, clean the cassette
recorder's tape-handling parts after
every 20 hours of use.

carries a complete line of cassette
cleaning supplies.
