Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape- player that is. not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced
sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away
from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each
month or after every
15 hours of use. 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.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette, aild follow the directions
provided with it.
