Maintenance
As the tape rubs against the heads during recording and
playback, oxide debris from the tape accumulates on the
heads, guides, and pinch roller. To maintain the optimum
recording and playback performance,
periodically clean
the entire tape path, including the heads (about every 10
hours of use).
Cleaning the heads section
1. Press the EJECT button and the cassette holder will
slide forward.
Note:
The heads and guides in the tape path are precisely adjusted. Do not
exert excessive pressure on any parts while cleaning.
