Tape Player

To prevent deterioration of sound quality, periodical-
ly open the door of each deck and clean the magnetic
heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton bud
dipped in alcohol. Also, demagnetize the head by
playing a demagnetizing
cassette (available through
an audio equipment store).
To protect recordings one or both sides of a tape,
remove the corresponding tab. If you later want to
record on the tape, affix a piece
of adhesive tape over the hole.
Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack
in your tapes can cause scratches
on the tape, or worse yet, the
tape could break. If you notice some slack in the tape,
use a pencil to tighten it up before you insert it.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the
edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not affix
labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces. Do not
scratch or damage the label. CDs rotate at high
speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged
(cracked or warped) CDs

Cleaning CDs

• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perime-
ter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene,
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause

system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
A
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens clean-
er.
