Tape Player: Service and Repair

Cassette Player Care:




Cleaning Cassette:




Clean
Optimum performance of the cassette deck can be maintained by cleaning the internal tape head, capstan and pinch roller periodically. This can be done by inserting a non-abrasive cleaning cassette in place of the music tape. This service should be performed after every 100 hours of operation.

NO lubricants should be used as this will cause the tape player to operate improperly, especially at extreme temperatures.

Magnetized tools (magnetized screwdrivers, sockets, etc.) should NOT be used near the tape head. If the head becomes magnetized, every tape used in the player will be degraded.
