HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes
particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these
parts and impair performance. Turn off the power, press the / key to open the
cassette door, and press the Play key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and
capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape
head cleaner.
