Cleaning the Heads
The binder and oxide from magnetic tapes can accumulate on the pinch
roller (A) the capstan shaft (B) and also the heads (C and D). This will impair
the sound quality.
To clean these parts proceed as follows:-
1. Turn off the power to the unit.
2. Press the Stop/Eject button (3).
3. Press the Play button (6) and the heads will be clearly seen.
4. Clean the surfaces (A, B, C, D) with a lint free rag or cotton swab soaked
in alcohol. Press the stop/eject button as soon as cleaning is over.
