Commercially pre-recorded tapes have the tabs removed

accidental erasure. Cover the openings with adhesive tape

to reset counter to (000). Use the Tape Counter Display
to note song/track starting locations during playback

Maintenance and Service Cleaning
The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned
from time to time to prevent build-up of tape oxide which
degrades performance.
1. Remove cassette tape before cleaning.
2. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a
cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl-alcohol or
any solution specifically manufactured for this purpose.
Caution:
Do NOT scrape the head surface with hard,
sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently damage
the heads.
3. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the
roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by
hand until the entire surface is clean.
4. Clean external case surfaces with a moist, soft cloth.
Use only a mild detergent water solution.
Head Demagnetization
It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized
from time to time. This eliminates residual magnetism which
degrades sound reproduction and the recording function.
1. After cleaning the heads and capstan, place the
demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit
and plug it into an AC outlet.
2. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions
supplied with the demagnetizer.
