Cleaning the head section
Cleaning the heads and peripheral components
For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep the
heads (recording / playback / erase), capstan and pinch roller clean.
To clean them, perform the following:
1. Open the cassette holder.
2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head (recording / playback / erase),
capstan and pinch roller carefully.
Demagnetizing the head
When the recording / playback head is magnetized, the sound quality will deteriorate. In
such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head
eraser).
There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides.
When cleaning, pay special attention so as not to apply shock to them.
