Cleaning
Demagnetizing the heads

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:
• low-quality sound
• 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.
1 Press § to open the cassette holder. Grasp the
front cover on both sides and gently lift to remove
it.
2 With 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.

Replace the front cover.
