Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tap-

Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts

on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This

following cleaning procedure after every 20 hours of opera-

tion.

1. Remove the batteries and open the cassette compart-

ment door.

2. Press

to expose the tape-handling parts.

or denatured alcohol to gently clean the play head, pinch

roller, tape guide, and capstan.
