n Cleaning the tape-handling parts

l 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.

l When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit

which contains high voltages.

l After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-

netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once   eve-
ry 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape
head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions care-
fully before use.

 

n Cleaning the CD pickup lens

Poor performance during CD playback (skipping or jumping) can be
caused by a dirty or contaminated CD laser pick up lens. If this
happens then the use of a commercially available CD lens cleaning
discs may restore normal operation. Contact your supplier or local
CD software dealer to obtain CD lens cleaning discs. Ensure all
included instructions/documentation are carefully followed.

n Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:
l Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). 

It may damage the cabinet finish.

l Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause 

malfunctions.
