Cautions:
When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust naturally accu-
mulate on the heads, capstan and pinch roller. When they become too
dirty...
● Sound quality deteriorates.
● The output sound level drops.
1. Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the
head.
If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and the sound
will deteriorate. Demagnetize the head every 20–30 hours of use
with a head eraser (available from an audio store). (When demag-

● Recording is not performed satisfactorily.
Therefore, you should clean the heads, etc. after every 10 hours of use
for optimal recording conditions.
Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch roller

Clean the heads, pinch roller and capstan.
For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available from an audio store.

Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the CD holder and clean the lens as shown.
