MAINTENANCE
m™ Removing
the cassette
compartment
cover
It will be more convenient
if the
cassette
compartment
cover is removed during the cleaning
of the pinchroller
and heads, or during demagnetizing of heads.
_
Follow
these procedures :
1.
Press
the EJECT
button
to open the cassette com-
partment.
:
2.
Hold only the cover
of the cassette compartment and
pull it up.

m@ Head Cleaning
After
long
usage,
tape
coating
or
dust
may
adhere
to
the heads
causing
deterioration
of sound.
Clean
them
regularly.
Use
a cotton
swab
moistened
with
cleaning
solution
(such as alcohol).
Note :
1.
Some cleaning cassettes on the market have a strong
abrasive
effect
and
scratch
the heads.
Use cotton
swabs
instead
of cleaning
cassettes.
2.
Since the use of metal
tapes
is apt to collect
more
dust
on
the
heads,
clean
the
heads
more
often
to
"enjoy optimum
sound.

™MCleaning
the
pinchroller and
the capstan
lf the pinchrolier or the
capstan
accumulate
dust,
tape
transport
may
become
unstable
resulting from
slippage
during recording or playback.
The tape can also be da-
maged by being rolled up around the capstan.
Ciean
them
with a cotton
swab or a soft cloth moistened
with cleaning solution (such as alcohol).
m@Demagnetizing the heads
The
heads
may
become
magnetized
after long usage
or
by having a strongly magnetized object brought near them.
The
result
is a generation
of
noise,
loss
of the
high
frequency
range,
or
erasing
the
treble
components
of
pre-recorded
tapes and adding
noise.
Demagnetize
the heads on a regular basis.
™@ Procedure
1.
Be sure to turn "'off'' the power supply.
2.
Turn the demagnetizer
''on"' while
it is more
than
30cm
away
from
the heads.
Bring the demagnetizer
near
the
heads
and slowly
move
it in a small circle
four or five times.
;
3.
Slowly move
the demagnetizer
away from the heads
and
turn ''off'' the power
of the demagnetizer
when
it is about 30cm away from the heads.
