Maintenance
Cleaning the tape-handling parts
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.
After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions
carefully before use.

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
Headphones
Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce the vol-
ume.
Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter plug and
are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance. The recommend-
ed impedance is 32 ohms.
Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers automati-
cally. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME buttons.
