● Direct sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of a
deformed cassette may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
● Do not use a cassette that has a label
which is peeling and loose. If used,
the label could jam in the player.
● If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly
around the hubs. Loose tape may
cause tape jamming and wavering
sound quality.
● Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the
tape passes over the head. This resi-
due accumulation can cause a weak
or wavering sound and should be re-
moved periodically with a head clean-
ing tape. If the residue is not removed
periodically, the player may need to
be disassembled for cleaning.
