Cleaning the heads and peripheral components

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep the heads (re- cording / 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 deteriorate. In such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head eraser).

section Preparation

Reference

Beware of condensation

When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of a cold material, condensation is produced.

If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly.

This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried-out. (To do this, turn the ON/STANDBY switch ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Be especially careful in the following conditions:

÷When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place, and there is a large temperature difference.

÷When a heater starts operating.

÷When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of high temperature with high humidity.

÷When there is a large difference between the internal temperature of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where conden- sation occurs easily.
