Cleaning the Tape Heads and Tape Path
For continued high performance from your cassette deck, periodically clean the head, pinch
roller, and capstan. We recommend cleaning after every 20-30 hours of operation.
To clean the tape deck, press the STOP/EJECT key to open the deck door. Remove any
tape in the deck. Make sure that the power to the unit is OFF. Moisten a cotton swab with
isopropyl alcohol or a special head cleaning fluid. Carefully rub the face of each head, pinch
roller, and capstan with the moistened cotton swab.
