Maintenance

Cleaning the tape heads and tape
path

Wipe the heads, the pinch roller cind the

capstan with a cleaning swab slightly
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol
after every 10 hours of operation for

optimum playback and recording

quality. To make the best possible
recording, however, we recommend that
you clean all surfaces over which tape
travels before each recording.

Deck A

Demagnetizing the tape heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough

residual magnetism will have built up
on the tape heads to begin to cause loss
of high frequency sound and hiss. At
this time, you should demagnetize the

heads and all metal parts in the tape
path with a commercially available tape
head demagnetizer.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel 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
benzine.

After cleaning, irrsert a tape when the
areas cleaned are completely dry.
