The SKIP and REPEAT

oxides f rom the tape. This
contamination builds up over time
and causes the sound quality to
degrade. To prevent this, you should
clean the player af ter every 30 hours
of use.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning the hub with a pencil or your
f inger. If the label is peeling of f ,

If you do not clean the tape player
regularly, it may eventually become
impossible to remove the
contamination with a normal
cleaning kit. Your dealer has a
cleaning kit available. Store tapes in their cases to protect
them f rom dust and moisture. Never
place tapes where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, high heat,
or high humidity. If a tape is exposed
