CASSETTE TAPES CASSETTE TAPES There are many different types of cassette tapes available. However, they all conform to standard specifications so any brand may be used with the deck. ÷ Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation: Cassette tapes are available in four basic types depending on their formulation, or type of magnetic material and manufacturing process.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING OF THE TAPE PATH Continued high quality performance of your deck is dependent upon periodic cleaning of the heads, capstan, pinch roller, and all surfaces over which the tape travels. Normal use will cause an accumulation of dirt and dust on the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers. This can lead to poor sound quality, drop outs (intervals with no sound), unsteady tape speed, loss of high frequency response, etc.
