ENGLISH
This unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend the life of the unit if you
follow the instructions below.
To clean the heads
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available
at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes to their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store tapes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
CAUTIONS:
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.
