Caution on condensation

Condensation (of dew) may occur inside the unit when there is a great

difference in temperature between this unit and the outside.

This unit may not function properly if condensation occurs. In this

the operation after the condensation has dried up.

Be specially cautions against condensation in a following cir-

cumstance:

When this unit is carried from a place to another across a large

difference in temperature, when the humidity in the room where this

unit in installed increases, etc.

Important items

Cleaning the heads and peripheral com-

ponents

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and

for longer service life, always keep the head (record-

ing/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 be deteriorated. In such a

case, demagnetize the head using a commercially

available demagnetizer (head eraser).

Capstan

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.
