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.
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;
