Additional Information Before placing a cassette in the tape deck Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the tape deck's playing mechanism and become damaged. When using a tape longer than 90 minutes The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc. too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck's playing mechanism. Cleaning the tape heads Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. When the tape heads become dirty - the sound becomes distorted - the sound level decreases - the sound drops out - the tape does not erase completely - the tape does not record Make sure to clean the tape heads before making an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a commercially available dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.
