MAINTENANCE
To get a long trouble free service, maintenance is
essential. After some use the Head, Capstan, Pinch
Roller etc. that come in contact with the tape, become
dirty due to dust or magnetic material on the tape. Dirty
heads cause loss of high frequencies and the output
falls. Dirty capstan and pinch roller will cause unstable
tape speed, leading to increased Wow and Flutter.
To clean these, follow the under mentioned procedure:
+
+
+
+
Remove the plastic cover on the top by unscrewing
the screws provided. The head and pinch roller
become accessible through the cutout provided.
Clean the head and pinch roller with a cotton bud
dipped in methylated spirit.
Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the
head. If the head gets magnetized, it will lead to more
noise and loss of high frequencies. The head and all
metallic parts should be got demagnetized after
about 50 hours of use.
Consult your dealer about demagnetizing the head.
