Cassette Maintenance & Service Cleaning
The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned from time to time to prevent buildup of tape oxide,
which degrades performance.
1. Remove cassette tape before cleaning.
2. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl alcohol
or any solution specifically manufactured for this purpose.
Caution: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently damage the heads.
3. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by hand
until the entire surface is clean.
4. Clean external case surfaces with a moist, soft cloth. Use only a mild detergent water solution.
Tape Head Demagnetization
It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized from time to time. This eliminates residual magnetism
which degrades sound reproduction and the recording function.
1. After cleaning the heads and capstan, place the demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit and
plug it into an AC outlet.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions supplied with the demagnetizer.
