GENERAL

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software

are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and-dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly

moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could

damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths

with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with

cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)
When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback

head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers.

Care of discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out

with a cleaning cloth.

• After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the

disc in places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes
• Store tapes in their cases after use.
• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or

any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound
quality and cause noise.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head

cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned
parts are completely dried before inserting the tapes.
