Maintenance

Cleaning the tape-handling parts

zDirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with

commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

zWhen cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which

contains high voltages.

zAfter long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-

netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once

every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial

tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions

carefully before use.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative

maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per-

formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-

tact your local CD software dealer for options.

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap

solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

zDo not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet ﬁnish.

zDo not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-

tions.
