Cleaning the head section
There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides. When cleaning, pay special
attention so as not to subject them to unnecessary shock.
Cleaning the heads and peripheral components
For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep
the heads (recording / playback / erase), capstan, and pinch roller clean.
To clean them, perform the following:
1. Open the cassette holder.
2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head (recording / playback / erase),
capstan, and pinch roller carefully.
Demagnetizing the head
When the recording / playback head is magnetized, the sound quality will deteriorate.
In such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer
(head eraser).
