Restoring Tape Tension and  
Quality  
Cleaning the Tape-Handling  
Parts  
After you play a cassette tape several  
times, the tape might become tightly  
wound on the reels. This can cause  
playback sound quality to deteriorate.  
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coat-  
ing can accumulate on the tape heads  
and other parts that the tape touches.  
This can greatly reduce the perfor-  
mance of the cassette player. After ev-  
ery 20 hours of tape player operation,  
clean the tape-handling parts with a  
cassette deck cleaning kit or use the  
following cleaning procedure.  
To restore the sound quality, fast-  
forward the tape from the beginning to  
the end of one side, then turn it over  
and fast-forward it to the end of the oth-  
er side. Then loosen the tape reels by  
gently tapping each side of the cas-  
sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.  
1. Set ON/OFF/AUTO/ALARM to  
OFF.
