CLEANING

Cassette Tape Player

 

Head

The playback head, capstans and pinch rollers may accumulate an oxide residue as the tape passes through the components while playing. Depending on the quality used, more or less oxide will accumulate. Oxide accumulation can cause weak or wavering sound and damage to the cassette tape and/or player.

It is recommended for best performance that the tape player be cleaned after every 10 to 12 hours of playing time with a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge or equivalent.

 CAUTION: The use of other cassette cleaners is not recommended. Damage to the cassette player could result.
