Maintenance
! Cleaning the cabinet
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 (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
" Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
! Cleaning the CD pickup lens
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per-
formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-
tact your local CD software dealer for options.
! 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-
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.
