USING EXTERNAL UNITS
MAINTENANCE
Tape “a”Tape “b”Headphones
•Be sure that your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8”) diameter plug and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance. Recommended impedance is 32 ohms.
•When headphones are connected, the speakers are defeated automatically. Adjust the VOLUME control for desired volume.
Internal care
•Dirty heads, capstans and 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.
•After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.
External care
•Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and dilute soap solution, then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals. (See “Precautions”.)
