Tape player Maintenance
The head in the cassette tape player can pick up dirt or tape
deposits each time a cassette is played. The result is low or
I I
muddy" sound from one or both channels, as if the treble
tone control were turned all the way down. To prevent this,
you should periodically clean the head with a commercially
available cleaning cassette.
As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30
hours of use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty
(noticeably poor sound), it may not be possible to remove all
deposits with a simple cleaning cassette.
CAUTION:
• Storing cassettes out of their cases, or touching the
magnetic tape with your fingers will increase the amount of
dirt that gets to the tape head. Using low-quality "off-
brand" tape will increase the amount of tape deposits that
get on the head. Both of these practices may eventually
lead to damage of the head and playing mechanism.
