OCassette tapes should be removed

formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.

ing or loose labels. If used, the label

pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly.
Loose tape may cause jamming and
wavering sound quality.
OOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the
tape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause a weak or wavering

odically with a head cleaning tape. If
the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
