MAINTENANCE
ABOUTDEW
Dew is often seen as water built-up on the inside of
the windows in a warm room on a cold winter day.
Dew can also form inside this unit in a similar manner
in the following cases:
•Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
•In a steamy or very humid room.
•When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm place.
If dew forms inside this unit, it may not operate
properly. To correct this problem, turn on the opera¬
tion and wait about 1 hour for the dew to go away.
■ Cleaning of tape heads
The head assembly, capstans, and pinch rollers are in
constant contact with the tape. If these parts are dirty, the
sound quality will be impaired. Get into the habit of cleaning
the parts regularly (after every 10 hours or so of use) in
accordance with the procedure outlined below.
1. Press the operation switch to turn off the unit.
2. Open the cassette compartment covers by pressing the
stop/eject buttons.
3. Clean them with a cotton swab.

Notes:
•If the heads are extremely dirty, clean them with a
cotton swab dampened with a little alcohol.
•Do not bring any type of mental objects or tools
such as magnetic screwdrivers in contact with the
head assembly.
•Do not clean the plastic cabinet with benzine or
thinner. Clean it with a solution of soap and water.
•Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some insecticides
contain chemicals that could cause cabinet de¬
formation.
