different types of tapes can be used at the same time.
Precautions for use
o Do not open a cassette or pull out the tape.
o Do not touch the tape surface.
Storage precautions
o Keep cassette tapes away from magnets or magnetized items
because they may cause noise or erase recorded contents.
o Do not leave cassette tapes in a dusty place.
o Do not store cassette tapes in areas with high temperatures and
humidity.
Types of cassette tapes that should be avoided
The following types of cassette tapes might prevent the unit
from operating or functioning normally. These types of cassette
tapes could cause tape to become caught and other unexpected
problems.
Deformed cassette tapes
Do not use a deformed cassette or one that has unstable tape
movement or makes a strange sound during fast-forward or rewind.
Long play tapes
Tapes that allow recording for 90minutes or longer sometimes get
caught by the capstan because they are extremely thin and stretch
easily. Do not use them in this unit. In the worst case, the cassette
tape could become stuck in the unit.
Endless cassette tapes
Never use this type of cassette because its tape could become
caught. In the worst case, the cassette tape could become stuck in
the unit.
Maintenance
Wipe dirt from the top cover and other panel surfaces using a
soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with a diluted neutral
cleanser.
Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other chemi-
cal agents. Doing so could damage the surface.
V
For your safety, disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before cleaning.
Cleaning the cassette decks
If a head becomes dirty, the recording and playback sound quality
will become worse and cause skipping. Dirt on the tape tracking
roller could also cause the tape to become caught, for example.
Clean the head, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton applicator
dampened with a commercially-available cleaning solution about
every ten hours of use.
Erase head
