The importance of cleaning the magnetic head.
The magnetic powder and dust will be piled on the magnetic head, tape guide, and capstan when the recorder is using. And this will affect the quality of the sound, decrease output electric level, and cause imperfect erasure of the tape. As a result, poor recording occurs. So, for better recording and playing, please clean the magnetic head when it works for ten hours.

How to clean magnetic head?
Use the sanitary cotton stick with waterless alcohol to rub the magnetic head, the tape guide and the capstan. For effective cleaning, please get the cleaning staff from audio shops. After cleaning, please make sure that the parts are dry when operate the unit.

How to degauss?
The magnetic head will be magnetized after long hours of operation. And the magnetic objects can also magnetize it. The magnetized head will cause noise. When noise exceeds a certain extent, the high frequency of the tape will be erased. It is suggested that the magnetic head and other parts working with the tape should be degaussed once every 20-30 working hours by demagnetize. (It can be bought at audio shop).
