cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store

ture and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette

sette to jam in the player.cDo not use a cassette that has a label
which is peeling and loose. If used,

pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly
around the hubs. Loose tape may
cause tape jamming and wavering
sound quality.

head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the
tape passes over the head. This resi-
due accumulation can cause a weak
or wavering sound and should be re-
moved periodically with a head clean-
ing tape. If the residue is not removed
periodically, the player may need to
be disassembled for cleaning.The antenna cannot be shortened but can
be removed. Turn its base counterclockwise
