Yamaha MT44D - Manual (Page 14)

■ Maintenance
After the deck has been used for a long period
of time, the heads, pinch roller and capstan will
become dirty, leading to noise and uneven rota­
tion so that recording is no longer possible. We
therefore recommend that cleaning and damag-
netization be carried out on a regular basis.
To carry out cleaning, remove the cassette hold­
er cover and wipe thè inside parts with a cotton
swab (available commercially). Impregnated
with alcohol or head cleaning solution. It should
be remembered that keeping the heads clean is
of great importance in obtaining good record­
ings.
For demagnetization, carefully follow the in­
structions given in the head demagnetizer
manual.

• Removing the holder cover
Press the ejector button so that the cassette

procedure.
