Tape Player: Service and Repair
Tape Player and Cassette Care
Cleaning Cassette
For the best operation for the cassette tape deck. do not use cassette tapes longer than 100 minutes in playback time (50 minutes per side). Cassette tapes
longer than 100 minutes may cause tape slippage or jamming.
There are two parts that are cleaned on a tape player: the head and the capstan. Since they can be reached through the tape door, it can be done while
tape player is in the vehicle. This service should be performed every 15 hours of operation.
To clean the head and capstan, use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary rubbing alcohol, or use a cleaning cassette.
Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If the head becomes magnetized, every cassette played in the player will be degraded.
No service is performed on the tapes and warranty of these tapes is handled by the cassette manufacturer, not by the dealer. Any test tape used by the
dealer should be stored in its container to keep the tape clean. Store cassettes away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
