HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating
that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the STOP/
EJECT key to open the cassette door, and press the PLAY key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with
a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.
COMPACT DISC CARE
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it
carefully by the edges.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping
with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
