Cassette Tape Head and Capstan Cleaning

Cleaning Cassette:

There are two parts that should be cleaned on a tape player; the head and the capstan. Since they can be reached through the tape door, leave the tape player in the car. This service should be performed every 15 hours of cassette operation.

To clean the head and capstan, use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary rubbing alcohol.

As an alternate way to clean the head and capstan, a cleaning cassette kit may be purchased. Follow instructions on the kit to clean the tape player.

Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If the head becomes magnetized, every cartridge played in the player will be degraded.

The play-back head in the cassette tape deck should be de-magnetized every 50 hours of cassette play. Follow the procedure provided by the manufacturer of the de-magnetizer tool to de-magnetize the play-back head

No service is performed on the tapes and warranty of these tapes is handled by the cartridge manufacturer and not by the dealer. The test tape used by the dealer should be stored in its container to keep the tape clean. Store cartridges away from extreme heat or direct sunlight
