CLEANING THE TAPE–
HANDLING PARTS
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's
coating can accumulate on the
tape heads and other parts that the
tape touches. This can greatly re-
duce the cassette player's perfor-
mance. To prevent noise and poor
high-frequency response, clean the
cassette player's tape-handling parts
after every 20 hours of use. Your local
RadioShack store sells a complete
line of cleaning kits.
Follow these steps to clean the tape-
handling parts on your system's cas-
sette decks.
1. Turn off the system, then unplug
the power cord.
Note: Unplugging the system
clears any programs in the CD
changer's memory.
2. Press

sette decks. Both cassette com-
partment doors open.
3. Press

decks to expose the tape-handling

4. Use a cotton swab dipped in
denatured alcohol or tape head
cleaning solution to gently clean
the record/play heads, pinch roll-
ers, capstans, tape guides, and
