Radios are being replaced and charged to warranty because the customer has commented on any one or more of the following conditions:

    • The tape plays slow.
    • The tape sounds muffled.
    • The tape sounds garbled.
    • The tape is inoperative.
    • The tape is becoming stuck in the cassette player.

When the radio is returned to the repair center, the cause is found to be a dirty tape head.

When a customer comes in with any of above conditions concerning their cassette player, dealers should perform the normal cassette player maintenance. Maintenance procedures are in the Owner's Manual and/or the Service Manual. The customer must be charged for this service.
