I MAINTENANCE
DEMAGNETIZING
After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the
heeds will become magnetized. The same effect will
occur if a magnetized
screwdriver, magnet or other
magnetized
object is brought too
close to the
heads. When the heads become magnetized,
highfrequency sounds will be lost during recording or
playback, and Interference noise may also occur. The
heads should be regularly demegnetlzed with a head
demagnetizer,
which can be purchased
at most
audio stores.

CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH
ROLLERS AND CAPSTANS
I
I
The heeds, pinch milers and ©apstans are likely to
get dirty quite easily. If these parts, particularly the
heads, get dirty, the high frequency components of
a recording will not he reproduced and the stare,:
balance will he impaired, resulting in a deterioration
oil the playt:mck sound. R is thereforerecon_needed
that the head section be cheaned regularly.
1. Set the POWER switch to OFF.
2. Press the eject button to open the cassette door.
3. Dip a cleaning swab in cleaning fluid and use it to
wipe the heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
NOT_
After cleaning the head s_tion, do not load a rape unUI
the cleaning fluid has dried completely (about two or
three minutes),
When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the
POWER switch of the cassette deck is set to ON.
However,
be sure to turn down the amplifier's
volume control to Its lower position, and disconnect
any headphones
from their headphones Jack. For
detailed
Instructions,
refer to the operating
instructions of the head demagnetizer.
L CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL
Clean the deck regularly with • soft cloth. If the front
panel becomes soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a
weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to
six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe the
panel clean. Never use volatile cleaners like thinners,
benzine or alcohol because they will damage the
panel finish.
