Tape Player: Service and Repair
For the best operation of the cassette tape player, do not use cassette tapes that are longer than 100 minutes in playback time (50 minutes per side).
Cassette tapes longer than 100 minutes may cause tape slippage or jamming.
The following 2 components are cleaned on a tape player:
-
The head
-
The capstan
The head and the capstan are reached through the tape door. Clean the head and the capstan every 100 hours.
In order to clean the head and the capstan, use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary rubbing oil, or use a cleaning cassette.
A cleaning cassette may be purchased. Follow the instructions included with the kit in order to clean the tape player.
Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If the head becomes magnetized, every cassette you play 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. Store any test tape used by
the dealer in its container in order to keep the tape clean. Store cassettes away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
