Care of Your Cassette  Tape  Player 
A tape  player  that  is  not  cleaned  regularly  can  cause  reduced  so\
und  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 15 hours of 
use. If you  notice  a  reduction  in sound  quality, try a  known good cassette to 
see if the  tape or the  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  clean\
ing  cassette, 
and  follow  the  directions  provided  with  it. 
Cassettes  are  subject  to  wear  and  the  sound  quality  may  degrad\
e  over  time. 
Always  make  sure  that  the  cassette  tape  is  in good  condition  before  you 
have  your  tape  player  serviced.
