Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over

Break off the tape’s overwrite protection tab from side A or B as illustrated.

Break off the tape tab

To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

About a tape longer than 90 minutes

The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback.

Cleaning the tape heads

Use a dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape (available separately) after every 10 hours of use, before you start an important recording, or after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or an inability of the system to record or play tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Use a demagnetizing tape (available separately) after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize the tape heads can cause an increase in noise and a loss of high frequency sound and an inability to completely erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing tape.
