■ Cassette tape
● For playback, use normal or low-noise tapes
for the best sound. (Metal or CrO2 tapes are
not recommended.) For recording, use only
normal tapes.
● Do not use C-120 tapes, or poor-quality
tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
● Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or
pencil.
● Cassettes have removable tabs that prevent
accidental recording or erasing. Removing
the tab will protect the corresponding side
from being erased. Cover the tab holes with
adhesive tape to erase or record again.

Maintenance
■ Cleaning the tape-handling
parts
● Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause
poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts
with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
● After long use, the deck’s heads and cap-
stan may become magnetised, causing poor
sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording by using a
commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read
the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.
■ Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with a
dry cloth.
Caution:
● Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol,
paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.
● Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It
may cause malfunctions.
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may
cause condensation inside the cabinet (tape
heads, etc.).
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no
cassette in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour).
