Cleaning the Heads and
Tape Path
Clean all surfaces over which the tape
travels after every ten hours of operation to
guard against:
— low-quality sound
— a decrease in sound level
— excessive wow, flutter or drop-out
— incomplete erasure
— impairment of recording function
To obtain high-quality recorded sound, we
recommend cleaning before every
recording.
