Cleaning the heads
Almost
of all phenomena
which
are thought of as malfunctions,
such
as
"Reduce sound level'', 'Recording cannot be done properly'', etc. are caused
by dirt on the heads or pressure rollers.
Fine dust or magnetic powder adheres to the head as it is used and although
it seems clean at a glance it is, in fact, dirty.
Be sure to clean tape contact
surfaces such as the head, capstans and pressure rollers after approximately 10
hours of operation.
When Metal Tape is recorded and playback for several hours,
the tape running surface must be cleaned.

DEMAGNETISING
THE HEAD
After the deck has been
used
for a long time the head

slightly
magnetized and high frequencies may deteriorate or noise may be generated. In
this case, demagnetize the head with a demagnetizer.
