MAINTENANCE
DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS
Erase head Capstan After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the heads 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 demagnetized with a head demagnetizer, which can be purchased at most audio stores. 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.

CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND CAPSTANS
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty quite easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the high frequency components of a recording will not be reproduced and the stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration of the playback sound. It is therefore recommended that the head section be cleaned 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.

CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL
Clean the deck regularly with a 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.

NOTE: After cleaning the head section, do not load a tape until the cleaning fluid has dried completely (about two or three minutes).
