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
"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.
The use of 120 minute tapes is not recommended.
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.
