MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the tape heads (Fig. 10)
To ensure continued high performance, use cotton swab to clean the
heads, pinch rollers and capstans of the decks after about every 10 hours
of use. If the dirt persists, soak the swab in a little methylated spirit or
head cleaning fluid and then clean.
Cleaning the CD player lens
The lens should never be touched. If dust is on the lens, blow it off using
a camera lens blower (Fig. 11). (Consult your dealer.)
Cleaning the unit
Clean the outside of the unit with a clean soft cloth, moistened with luke-
warm water. Do not use benzene, thinner or alcohol since they will mar
the finish of the surfaces.
