POINTERS FOR LONG. TROUBLE
FREE SERVICE
YOUR
DECK
Precision equipment
such as your
cassette
tape
deck,
which
contains
rotating
parts,
should
be
given
regular
attention
to
maintain
it
in top
condition.
A
little
extra
care
at
this
point
will
repay
you
with
greatly
extended
service
and continued
optimum
performance.
Please
be
sure
to
carry
out
the
following
suggestions.
CLEANING THE HEADS AND
TAPE
PATH
If
the
deck is
used
for
any
considerable
length
of
time without biing
cleaned,
dirt
and dust
tends
to
collect
on
the
heads
and
the
capstan,
etc.,
with
consequent
loss
of
sound
quality
and
"drop-outs."
To
clean
the
heads
and
capstan,
etc.,
use
the
cleaning
rod
provided
with
the
deck and
a
soft
cloth,
working
carefully
and
gently
to
remove all
traces
of dirt.
Depressing
the PLAY button will
bring the
heads
forward
and make
the
operation
easier.
When cleaning
with
the power
disconnected,
depress
the
PAUSE
button
to
detach
the
pinch
roller from
the
capstan. Refer
to
Fig.
13.
NOTE: Do not
under
any
circumstances
bring
a
steel
screwdriuer
or pliers anywhere
nedr
the
heads,
or
a
magnet.
Mahe sure
that
no
benzene, thinners,
or
alcohol
get on the
case
or the
operating
buttons.
TIEAD DEMAGNETIZING
If
a permanent magnet
(for
example a magnetized
screwdriver,
etc.) is brought
near
the
heads,
they
too will
become magnetized,
and
will
generate
increased
noise
at
playback.
In
this
case
the
head
should
be
demagnetized
with
a
commercially
avail-
able
demagnetizer
unit.
It
may
also
be
advisable
to
use
a
head demagnetizer
on
the
heads
after
long
periods
of
frequent
use.
NOTE:
When
using a
dernagnetizer, be
sure
to
disconnect
the power supply
to
the
tape dech,
and,
consult
the
demagnetizer
iretruction booh for
the
nethod,
of
use.
