Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality,
ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored
in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and extreme heat. If
they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause failure of the tape
player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known good
cassette to see if the tape or the player is at fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition before you
have your tape player serviced.
