MAINTENANCE

The MT10ОН recording & playback head has been precision-constructed to extremely fine tolerances in order to make high-quality 4-

track recording possible. Optimum performance can only be achieved if the head surface is kept immaculately clean. Cleaning

should be carried out at regular intervals — at least after every 10 hours of use.

Dirty heads can cause any of, or a combination of, the following problems;

• Recording, playback and erasure are not possible.

• Reduced playback sound level.

• Fluctuating and or/distorted sound.

• Excessive noise.

• A drop in level at the high frequencies.

If any of the above problems occur, clean the heads carefull

before

assuming the fault is with the recorder. Use a commercially

available head-cleaning kit (read the instructions provided with the kit), or wipe carefully with a cloth or cotton swab that has been

dampened with isopropyl alchohol. Also clean the pinch roller at the same time as the heads.
