To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth. If the unit surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent En solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine

or thinner.

To clean the tape heads

Dirty tape heads cause sound deterioration. After every 10 hours of use, clean the tape heads with a head cleaning cassette. Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

To demagnetize the tape heads

Use a demagnetizing cassette after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.

Care of CDs

When a CD becomes dirty, wipe it from the centre out with a cleaning cloth. After playing a CD, store it in its case. Do not keep it in hot or humid places.

Care of tapes

Store tapes in their cases after use. Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
