software are needed to optimize the performance of your
unit.

moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the unit.
To clean the heads and tape paths

with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with
cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)

®, capstans @, and pinchrollers ©.
After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head
cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the
cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.
To demagnetize the heads
The heads may become magnetized after long-term use.
This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and
increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the
heads with any commercially available demagnetizer.
Care of discs
e When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the centre
out with a cleaning cloth.
After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave
the disc in places that are hot or humid.
Care of tapes

* Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets,
Or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the
sound quality and cause noise.
