If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. When you are using a TYPE II (CrO2) or TYPE IV (metal) cassette, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape. Detector slots Before placing a cassette in the tape deck Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged. When using a tape longer than 90 minutes The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc. frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck. Cleaning the tape heads Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. When the tape heads become dirty — the sound is distorted — there is a decrease in sound level — the sound drops out — the tape does not erase completely — the tape does not record Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette. Demagnetising the tape heads Demagnetise the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetising cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetising cassette. parked in direct sunlight. Troubleshooting If you run into any problem using this stereo system, use the following check list.
