The tape head should be cleaned regularly, especially when the
playback sound begins to deteriorate. Insert a special head cleaning
cassette into the tape mechanism and allow it to run for a few minutes.
If you are playing pre-recorded tape, your tape head should be cleaned
every 10-15 hours of playing time. If you record your own tapes and are
using good quality high bias tape, (chrome or metal type) cleaning
should be performed once a month as high quality tape will not
deteriorate and leave deposits on the tape head as will pour quality
pre-recorded tapes.
Your M2080 will play C-30, C-48, C-60 and C-90 tapes. Avoid playing C-
120 or larger length tapes. These longer tapes create unwanted loads
on the tape motor and belts causing pre-mature wear. Also, C-120 tape
is thinner and prone to tangle inside the cassette mechanism, no
matter how clean you keep your heads.
Before inserting a cassette into the unit, look through the cassette
window to make sure there is no excess slack, loose turns, and if
necessary, insert a pencil or similar object into the hub reel as shown
below and rotate to take up the slack.
