MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS AND MECHANICAL PARTS
Dirt on the heads will impair the sound qualify of both
recording and play back.
Dust or magnetised particles attached to the capstan or pinch
roller are the direct cause of uneven tape speed during
recording and playback. This is the cause of "wow" and
"flutter", namely tape speed variations below and above
normal speed, respectively.
Clean the heads and mechanical parts frequently to remove
dust and tape residue.
1 Press the buttons of Deck 1 and Deck 2
in order to open the cassette compartments. Remove the
cassette tapes in the compartments.
2 Press the buttons of Deck 1 and Deck 2.
3 Wipe the parts with a soft lint-free cloth or cotton swab
that has been partially soaked in alcohol methylated
spirit), until the heads are free of all dirt and residue
deposits.

When the head is used for a long time, it is sometimes
magnetised to a certain degree. Furthermore, it is also
magnetised when magnetised metals, such as screwdrivers,
etc. are brought near the head. As a result, treble deterio-
rates, a static noise is recorded and noise is introduced into
important music tapes.
Sometimes use a head demagnetiser sold on the market and
demagnetise the head according to the instructions supplied
with head demagnetiser.
