Cleaning the heads and tape path
Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after
every 10 hours of operation to guard against:
• low-quality sound
• a decrease in sound level
• excessive wow or flutter
• sound dropout
• incomplete erasure
• impairment of recording function
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you
clean the heads and tape path before every recording.
1 Press p§ to open the cassette holder. Grasp the
front cover on both sides and gently lift to remove
it.
2 With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the
pinch rollers and the capstans with a cotton swab
slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially
available cleaning fluid for tape decks.
3 Replace the front cover.
Demagnetizing the heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a
hissing sound or loss of high frequencies, demagnetize
the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer
for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizer.
