Maintenance
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet and controls 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 alcohol or benzene.
Cleaning the Head
Prolonged operation may cause the head to be dirty. If the head is dirty, it may cause sound dropouts during playback. To make the best possible recording and playback, we recommend you to clean the head after every ten hours of recording/ playback, using the supplied cleaning cassette.
Likewise, when the unit has not been used for a long period of time, clean the head with the cleaning cassette before use.
Using the supplied cleaning cassette
1Insert the cleaning cassette as you would a normal DAT cassette.
2Press the PLAY ( button, then press the STOP p button after 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 or playback.
•Do not clean the head with the cleaning cassette more than five times in succession. Cleaning the head continuously for a 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 reaches the end of the tape, rewind it to the beginning and reuse it. The cleaning cassette can be used approximately 200 times, with 10 seconds of cleaning each time.
