Maintenance

Demagnetizing the tape headsAfter 20 to 30 hours of use, enoughresidual magnetism will have built upon the tape heads to begin to cause lossof high frequency sound and hiss. Atthis time, you should demagnetize theheads and all metal parts in the tapepath with a commercially available tapehead demagnetizer.

Cleaning the cabinetClean the cabinet, panel and controlswith a soft cloth slightly moistened witha mild detergent solution. Do not useany type of abrasive pad, scouringpowder, or solvent, such as alcohol orbenzine.

Cleaning the tape heads and tapepathWipe the heads, the pinch roller and thecapstan with a cleaning swab slightlymoistened with cleaning fluid or alcoholafter every 10 hours of operation foroptimum playback and recordingquality. To make the best possiblerecording, however, we recommend thatyou clean all surfaces over which tapetravels before each recording.

After cleaning, insert a tape when theareas cleaned are completely dry.
