Automatic Reverse and

Cleaning
This equipment is an ‘‘Automatic reverse type” recorder. It
is not necessary to turn over the reels to play both sides of
the tape. At the end of the first two tracks the tape
direction will automatically reverse and playback of the
other two tracks will be accomplished. The automatic reverse
is accomplished by means of a conductive sensing foil which
should be applied as outlined below:

Lubrication
should

accomplished
immediately
after

To avoid poor erasure, decrease of the high notes or other
troubles, the heads and tape guides over which the tape
travels must always be kept clean. Before using the tape
deck,
make
it
a
rule
to
clean
all
parts
with
the
TEAC
TZ-261 Head and Rubber Cleaner Kit.
NOTE
1. When using the polishing silicone fluid or silicone cloth
on the tape deck, do not use them on the capstan
shaft, pinch roller rubber surface, and reel turntables.
For
cleaning
the

use
the
Rubber

Fluid in the TEAC TZ-261 kit.
