Your
tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50

If
you notice a reduction in sound
quality, try a known good cassette to see
if
the tape
or
the tape player
is
at
fault.
If
this
other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,

a
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as
the hubs
of

to
eject
while cleaning.
Insert
the
cassette
at
least three times to
ensure
thorough cleaning. A
