Some useful hints
The Binder Bad oxide eorh magnetic tape accumulate on wie desde 8
and B) over a long period of time, along with dust and other impurities.
This will impair the heads’ sensitivity as well as the total quality of
reproduced sound, and could also result in ‘drop-outs’ of sound, In
addition, if the capstan shaft (C) and pinch roller (D) are contaminated,
it could cause irregular revolution (technically termed ‘wow’).
If such seems to be the case with your tape deck, wipe these parts
carefully with the Head Cleaning Pen (supplied) or a head cleaning
kit. Never use anything that may scratch or nick the head surfaces.
The record/play head (B) of your tape deck gradually becomes mag-
netized with use and tends to add noise to reproduced sound,
It is therefore advisable to demagnetize the head from time to time,
using a head demagnetizer. This greatly helps to prevent precious music
tapes and important recordings from acquiring undesirable noise, and
also helps you make noise-free recordings. Be sure to turn the POWER
switch off before you attempt to demagnetize the tape head.
