Contaminated heads cause insufficient recording or sound drop-out in playback.
We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation. To make the best possible recordings, however, you should clean all surfaces over which tape travels before making each recording.
Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cleaning tip slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.
After cleaning the heads, rollers and tape path, insert a cassette when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will have built up on the heads to begin to cause loss of high frequencies and hiss. At this time you should demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available head demagnetizer.
If you have accidentally touched the lens of the CD player section with dirty fingers or the dust has accumulated on the lens, the unit will not operate properly. In such cases, clean the lens with lens cleaning kit (not supplied).
Celan the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
