1. Longer tape than 100 minutes cassette
tape
Notes Notes
Since longer tape than 100 minutes cassette
tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the
pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recom-
mended that these tapes not be used with
this unit to prevent possible damage.
Cleaning the head section
Head demagnetization
When the record and play heads are magnetized, noise
in the audio may become loud. To prevent this, demag-
netize the heads using a commercially available head
demagnetizer (head cleaner) which often has the
shape of a tape cassette.
Head cleaning
To use the cassette deck in the best condition for a
long period, it is recommended to clean the heads
(record/play/erase), capstans and pinch rollers every 10
hours of tape playback.
They can be cleaned using a commercially available
head demagnetizer (head cleaner) which often has the
shape of a tape cassette.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to di-
rect sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind
the reel hub to remove the slack.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the
mechanism of the unit.
3. Regarding labels peeling off
If labels or adhesive tape stuck to a cassette tape
peel off, they may cause a malfunction. Only con-
tinue using the cassette tape after reapplying the la-
bel or adhesive tape firmly.
