Handling cassettes

The cassette deck built in this unit requires very
little attention, but you will be able to extend the
life of the cassette deck if you follow the
instructions below.
To clean the heads
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available
at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes in their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store tapes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures

MAINTENANCE

CAUTIONS:
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment
after use, as the tape may become slack.
The function below is also provided to ensure the
longer life of the cassette deck.
Ignition key-off release
When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette
in the compartment, the unit automatically
releases the tape from its head.
