Modifying or tampering with the Sing-Along's internal
components can cause a malfunction and might invali-
date its warranty. If your Sing-Along is not performing as
it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND
SOUND QUALITY
After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape
might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause
playback sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from
the beginning to the end of one side, then completely re-
wind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each
side of the cassette's outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when
tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the cassette.
