because

thoy aro too thin and may be damaged by repeatod use.

2. The use of endless tap6 is not recomended

as th6y may cause

malfunction

of the unit.

I Cleaning

the

head

sect¡on

As

the tape rubs against the heads during recording and

play-

back, oxide debris from the tape accumulates

on

the heads,

guides,

and

pinch

roller. To maintain the optimum recording

and

playback performance, periodically

clean

the entire tape

path,

including

the heads

(about

every 10 hours of use).

Head Demagnet¡zation

A magnetized

record/play

head may

degrade

the

sound

quali-

ty and increase the noise. ln this

case, use the commercially

available

Head

Eraser to demagnetize the head.

Cleaning the hoad

soction

1. Press

the EJECT button

(A)

and the cassette

holder will

slide forward.

2.

Clean the

heads,

pinch

and capstan

with

a ootton

swab

slightly dampened

with cleaning

solvent

(or

denatured

alcohol).

As there is a wide variety

of

ing fluids, carefully read the instructions

provided

with

your

cleaning kit and

use

the appropriale

type of

fluid.

I Beware

of

condensation

Water vapor in the air may condense on cold

parts,

forming

"dew"

on their surfaces.

For example, when a

bottle

is taken out of the

ref

rigerator and

brought

into

a

warm room,

droplets of

water will form

on

the

'bottle

surface. This

phenomenon

is called

"condensation".

lf this

occurs

inside the unit, the

player

may

operate

incorrect-

ly or may not function at all.

This is not a malfunction, however, the

player

should be

left

until

it ¡s

dry.

(Turn

the

power

of

this

unit

ON and leave the

player

for awhile. After several

hours,

even ¡n the

worst case,

the

player

will stabilize and correct

playback

will be

possible.)

Be especially careful in the following cases:

.

When the unit is suddenly

brought

from a cold

place

to

a

warm

place

(causing

rapid

temperature

change).

.

When the temperature

of

the room

is

raised

suddenly

us-

ing a heater, etc.

r

When

the unit is brought

from

a well-cooled

(air-

conditioned) room in to a damp

and

hot room.

.

ln conditions where

the

temperature

difference

between the

surroundings and this

unit

might cause

condensation.
