ABSTRACT:
A drying cassette for circulating drying air over internal components of a player/recorder unit is contained within a cassette housing similar to a conventional tape cassette, and is self powered or may be powered from a spindle within the player/recorder unit. A fan within the cassette housing generates forced air, and an outlet opening in the cassette housing directs the forced air toward the internal components, in particular the rotating drum and magnetic head assembly of conventional VCR units. A combined cleaning and drying cassette is also disclosed.
