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:
• a decrease in sound level
• excessive wow or flutter
• sound dropout
• incomplete erasure
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you
clean the heads and tape path before every recording.

With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the
pinch roller, and the capstan with a cotton swab
slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially
available cleaning fluid for tape decks.
Do not insert a cassette until the cleaned areas are
completely dry.

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.
