CASSETTE PLAYER OPERATION

pre-recorded cassette tape with the
exposed tape facing upwards then close the

AUTOMATIC STOP
To protect your cassette tapes and prevent
unnecessary wear to the pinch roller of the
cassette mechanism, this unit is equipped
with an Automatic Stop System. When the
tape ends during play or fast forwarding,
t h e P L A Y B U T T O N
will automatically release to stop the
cassette from running.
CASSETTE TAPE OPERATING TIPS
1. High quality tapes are recommended to
obtain maximum quality reproduction
from recordings.
2. Tapes with playing time of 120 minutes
(C-120) are not recommended because
they contain thinner and longer tape that
has a greater chance to malfunction and
jam, which may damage the cassette
mechanism.
3. To obtain good reproduction, the head
should be cleaned after every 10 to 20
hours of use. It is also recommended that
the cassette be kept away from excessive
heat or cold.
4. If there is slack in the tape, remove the
slack prior to inserting the cassette. To
remove the slack, insert a pencil into
the hub and rotate clockwise.
5. A leader tape is provided at the begin-
ning on each cassette. There is no record-
ing on this area, so it is necessary to let the
tape run for about five seconds to clear
the head.
6. Keep the tape head clean since a dirty
head can cause distorted sound or im-
proper tape speed. Depress the PLAY BUT-
TON and use a small cotton swab with
tape head cleaner or alcohol to clean the
tape head, capstan and pinch roller.
