If the receiver detects a bad cassette, "BAD TAPE" will appear on the display, and the tape will be ejected. The tape may be damaged or too tight. If it is damaged, try a new tape. If the tape is too tight, the player cannot turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape and hold it with the open end down. Try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player.
If you want to use a CD adapter or a cleaning cassette, the bad tape detector must be turned off.
