MAINTENANCE
This unit requires very little attention, but you will
be able to extend the life of the unit if you follow
the instructions below.
To clean the heads
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available

– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels;
otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape
may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette
compartment after use, as the tape may
become slack.
ENGLISH
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes to their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store tapes in the following places:
