Cleaning the Tape Heads
Over time, iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape build up on the
parts that come in contact with the tape. These deposits can cause
incomplete erasure, a muffled sound during playback.
To clean the heads, open the compartment door, push the PLAY button
and gently clean the heads, capstan and pinch wheel with a head cleaner.
Allow 30 minutes drying time when using a liquid cleaner.

Tape Erase
To erase a tape simply record over the unwanted recording.
Erase Protection
When you record new material, the cassette deck records over whatever is
on a tape. To protect a tape from accidental erasure, break off one or
both plastic tabs (one for each tape side) on the side of the cassette tape.
If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the hole with a piece of
cellophane tape.
A
Quit Slacking
A little bit of slack in your tapes can cause scratches on
the tape, or worse yet, the tape could break. If you
notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.
