Maintenance - Yamaha MT100 Operation Manual

MAINTENANCE
As a good general rule, the tape heads, pinchroller and cap¬
stan should be cleaned before each recording, thus ensuring
the best audio quality.
After the deck has been used for a period of time, the heads,
pinchroller, and capstan will become dirty. This increases
noise and uneven rotation, leading to a deterioration in sound
quality. Therefore, periodic cleaning and demagnetization is
necessary for preserve optimal audio performance.
Use cotton swabs and aicohoi or head cleaning fluid (available
in most all audio stores) to clean the heads, capstan, and
pinchroller. Keeping the heads clean is essential for good re¬
cordings. For demagnetization, use a high quality head
demagnetizer, and follow the instructions carefully.
H It's important to keep all parts clean!
