CLEANING THE HEAD SECTION
The heads, capstan and pinch roller are parts which are liable to get dirty quite
easily. In particular, if the heads are dirty, the high frequency components of the
sound will not be reproduced and the stereo balance will be impaired, resulting
in a deterioration in sound quality. It is therefore recommended that the head
section be cleaned regularly,
1,
Press the STOP/EJECT ( &i/* } switch to open the cassette door.
2. Dip a cleaning swab into the cleaning fluid and use it to wipe the heads,
capstan, and pinch roller.

DEMAGNETIZING THE HEAD
The rec/playback head becomes magnetized when you use the tape deck for
prolonged periods of time. This results in noise being generated and the treble
dropping off during recording and playback. The rec/playback head should
therefore be demagnetized regularly with a head demagnetizer (sold separately).
For further details, refer to the operating instructions accompanying your head
demagnetizer.
NOTE:
©
Do not hold screwdrivers, metal objects, or magnets closéto the heads.
*
When demagnetizing the heads, be sure the unit's POWER switch is in
the OFF position.
