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 tape player is at
fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
118
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.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in
their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and
dust. If the surface
of a disc is soiled,
dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution and clean it,
wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling discs. Pick up discs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge
of
the hole and the outer edge.
