5. A leader tape is provided at the beginning on each
cassette. There is no recording 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 improper tape speed. Depress the
PLAY BUTTON and use a small cotton swab with tape
head cleaner or alcohol to clean the tape head, capstan
and pinch roller as shown below:

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 as shown
below:
