Cleaning the heads and peripheral components

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep the heads (recording / playback / erase), capstan and pinch roller clean. To clean them, perform the following:

1.Open the cassette holder.

2.Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head (recording / playback / erase), capstan and pinch roller carefully.

Demagnetizing the head

When the recording / playback head is magnetized, the sound quality will dete- riorate. In such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head eraser).

There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides.

Note When cleaning, pay special attention so as not to apply shock to them.

Maintenance of the unit

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.

In regard to contact cleaner

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.
