LEANING
Disconnect the AC cord, then use a damp cloth to clean the LX-20's metal and plastic
surfaces. For heavy dirt, use a non-abrasive household cleaner such as Formula 409
or Fantastik. DO NOT SPRAY THE CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRONT OF
THE UNIT AS IT MAY DESTROY THE LUBRICANTS USED IN THE SWITCHES
AND CONTROLS! Spray onto a cloth, then use the cloth to clean the unit.

Here are some tips for preventive maintenance.
• Periodically check the AC cord for signs of fraying or damage.
• Unplug the LX20 when not in use for extended periods of time.
• Do not leave tapes inserted halfway into the LX20 when not in use, as this
allows dust to enter the transport chamber. Always leave tapes either fully
inserted, or remove them completely.

We believe that the LX20 is one of the most reliable digital recorders that can be
made using current technology, and should provide years of trouble-free use.
However, should problems occur, DO NOT attempt to service the unit yourself. The
full AC line voltage, as well as high voltage/high current DC voltages, are present
at several points within the chassis. Service on this product should be performed
only by qualified technicians. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE.
