Maintenance - Pioneer CT-W830R Operating Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE
ARE THE HEADS CLEAN?
Always keep the heads clean. Otherwise, dirty heads may cause
reproduced sound to be unclear and distorted as well as recording
or playback to be disabled.
CLEANING THE HEADS
The heads, capstans, and pinch rollers are liable to get stuck with
dirt, dust, and oil while a tape is running.
Stained heads may result in unclearness or distortion of
reproduced sound, or disability of recording or playback. Clean the
heads, pinch rollers, and capstans regularly about every 10-hour
usage with a commercial head cleaning swab.
@ Procedure
1. Press the eject button ( & ) to open the cassette door.
2. Moisten the cleaning swab with a small amount of cleaning
fluid to clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers.
NOTE:
Do not use the deck for 2 to 3 min. until the cleaning fluid dries.

DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS
When the deck is used for a long time, the head section may be
magnetized. The same effect may occur when it is accessed with
iron such as the tip of a screw driver or a magnet. In this case, the
high-frequency signals may be depressed or noise may be
generated. Therefore, demagnetize the heads regularly with a
commercia! head eraser. Make sure to turn off the power. Refer to
the instruction manual of the head eraser for further information.
CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL AND CASSETTE
DOOR
Wipe the front panel and cassette door with a soft cloth when they
are dusty or greasy. If they are severely stained, remove stains with
a soft cloth moistened with a smal! amount of detergent.
Then wipe them with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine or
alcohol since the panel finish may be damaged. Read closely the
supplied notes when you use a chemical duster.
