Maintenance

Cleaning the Cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panels and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive and, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Cleaning the Head

Prolonged operation will cause contamination of the head.

To make the best possible recording and playback, we recommend cleaning the head periodically, using the DT-10CL cleaning cassette (not supplied).

How to use the cleaning cassette

1Insert the cleaning cassette as you insert a normal DAT cassette.

2Press 3. Press 7after about 10 seconds.

3Remove the cleaning cassette without rewinding it.

4Proceed with recording and playback with a normal DAT cassette and check the sound quality.

Notes on the cleaning cassette

•The cleaning cassette cannot be used for recording and playback.

•Do not clean the head with the cleaning cassette more than five times over a short period.

Cleaning the head continuously for a too long period of time may cause wear to the head.

•Do not rewind the cleaning cassette each time you use it. When the cleaning cassette tape is taken up completely, rewind it to the beginning and re-use it. The cleaning cassette can be used two hundred times, with 10 seconds of cleaning each time.
