MAINTENANCE

ABOUT DEW

Dew is often seen as water built-up on the inside of

the windows in a warm room on a cold winter day.

Dew can also form inside this unit in a similar manner
in the following cases:

•Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
•When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold

environment to a warm place.

If dew forms inside this unit, it may not operate

properly. To correct this problem, turn on the opera­
tion and wait about 1 hour for the dew to go away.

■ Cleaning of tape heads

The head assembly, capstans, and pinch rollers are in

constant contact with the tape. If these parts are dirty, the
sound quality will be impaired. Get into the habit of cleaning
the parts regularly (after every 10 hours or so of use) in
accordance with the procedure outlined below.

1. Press the operation switch to turn off the unit.

2. Open the cassette compartment covers by pressing the

stop/eject buttons.

3. Clean them with a cotton swab.

Notes:
• If the heads are extremely dirty, clean them with a

cotton swab dampened with a little alcohol.

•Do not bring any type of mental objects or tools

such as magnetic screwdrivers in contact with the
head assembly.

•Do not clean the plastic cabinet with benzine or

thinner. Clean it with a solution of soap and water.

•Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some insecticides

contain chemicals that could cause cabinet de-
fonnation.
