CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly

moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths

After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.)

When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.

Care of CDs

●When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

●After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes

●Store tapes in their cases after use.

●Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.

●Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.

Care of MDs

Since MDs come in a cartridge which protects the discs inside from fingerprints and dust, you do not have to be overly careful when handling them. However, soiled or damaged cartridges can lead to malfunctions in the unit. Observe the following tips when handling MDs.

●Keep a cartridge in the attached case.

●Do not open the shutter of the cartridge to touch the disc directly. If the disc inside becomes soiled, it is very difficult to clean. The cartridge can also be damaged.

●Close the shutter if it opens while handling or ejecting a disc.

Otherwise dust may enter inside or a disc may become scratched.
