Cleaning the heads and tape path
Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after every 10 hours of operation to guard against:
•
•a decrease in sound level
•excessive wow or flutter
•sound dropout
•incomplete erasure
•impairment of recording function
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you clean the heads and tape path before every recording.
1Press §to open the cassette holder. Grasp the front cover on both sides and gently lift to remove it.
2With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially available cleaning fluid for tape decks.
3Replace the front cover.
Demagnetizing the heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a hissing sound or loss of high frequencies, demagnetize the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the demagnetizer.
