Maintenance - Pioneer CT-WM62R Operating Instructions Manual

I MAINTENANCE
When the heads of the cassette deck get dirty, they are not able
to record or play back cassette tapes clearly. The sound will be
distorted or the high frequency sounds will not be reproduced.
Therefore, the heads should be cleaned whenever necessary.
CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND
CAPSTANS
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty
quite easily. If these parts; particularly the heads; get dirty, the
high frequency components of recording will not be repro-
duced and the stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a
deterioration of the playback sound. It is therefore recom-
mended that the head section be cleaned regularly. Use a
commercially available cleaning cassette. Be sure to follow the
instructions of the cleaning cassette tape carefully.
NOTES:
• Use.a_o_,_ commercially available "Wet type" cleaning cassette
(For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the
cleaning cassette tape.)
• Clean the heads regularly, after about 10 hours or so of use.
Cleaning cassette tape
Caution:
• Do not use dry-type cleaning cassette tapes.
• After cleaning the head, do not load a cassette tape until the
cleaning fluid has dried completely (about 2 or 3 minutes).

I CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL SECTION
Clean the cassette deck regularly with a soft cloth. If the front
panel becomes soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a weak
solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water),
wring the cloth well, and wipe the panel clean. Never use
volatile cleaners like thinners, benzine or alcohol because they
will damage the panel finish.
