If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck
become dirty, the following will occur:
- Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
-Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton
swab moistened with alcohol.
If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or
lose high frequencies.
To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
Remove the CD from its case by holding
it at the edges while pressing the case’s
center hole lightly.
Do not touch the shiny surface of the
CD, or bend the CD.
Put the CD back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of
the CD when placing it back in the case.

perature extremes, and moisture.
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a
CD does become dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth in a straight line from center to
