Cassette Player and Care
Precaution
7 About the Cassette Player
• A loose or warped label on a cassette tape may interfere with the eject
mechanism of the unit or cause the cassette to become jammed in the
unit. Avoid using such tapes or remove such labels from the cassette
before attempting use.
• The music search and repeat functions may not work properly with the
following kinds of recorded tapes because the gap between songs cannot
be found correctly.
* A tape with a gap of 4 seconds or less between songs.
* A tape containing dialog, etc., with pauses lasting for 4 seconds or
longer.
* A tape with an extremely quiet passage in the music lasting for 4 sec-
onds or longer.
7 About Cassette Tapes
• Do not use tapes longer than C-90 type (90 min.) cassettes. Longer tapes
can interfere with tape transport.
• Storing cassettes in areas directly exposed to sunlight or high tempera-
tures can distort them and subsequently interfere with tape transport.
• Store unused tapes in a tape case where there is no danger of them
becoming loose or being exposed to dust.
Cleaning the Head
If the head becomes dirty, the sound quality will deteriorate and there will
be sound dropouts and other imperfections in performance. In this case, the
head must be cleaned.
