
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due
to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed,
in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.

Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
