On tapes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90
minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback.
They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
On handling cassettes
• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty,
avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.
• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such
as speakers and amplifiers; it may cause tape distortion or
erase the recordings.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperature or moisture.
Cleaning
Cleaning the heads and tape path
Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after
every 10 hours of operation to guard against:
• a decrease in sound level
• excessive wow or flutter
• sound dropout
• incomplete erasure
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you
clean the heads and tape path before every recording.
1 Press § EJECT to open the cassette holder.
2 With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the
pinch roller, and the capstan with a cotton swab
slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially
available cleaning fluid for tape decks.
Do not insert a cassette until the cleaned areas are
completely dry.
Demagnetizing the heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a
hissing sound or loss of high frequencies, demagnetize
the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer
for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizer.
