contamination builds up over time
and causes the sound quality to
degrade. To prevent this, you should
clean the player aft er every 30 hours
of use.
If you do not clean the tape player
regularly, it may eventually become
impossible to remove the
contamination with a normal
cleaning kit.

Tapes longer than that may break or
jam in the drive.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning the hub with a pencil or your
finger. If the label is peeling off,

to jam in the player. Never try to
insert a warped or damaged t ape in
the player.
