Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and
audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System is
turned off).

Cleaning the System

Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-
diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean
with a dry cloth.
Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
for a long time.
