Cleaning the tape-handling parts

"

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

"

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.

"

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag­netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a c ommercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions
carefully before use.
