MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE PINCH ROLLERS AND
CAPSTANS
The heads, capstan, and pinch roller of a cassette deck are
parts easily contaminated by dirt, dust, and oil during tape
travel. Dirty heads in particular result in poor tape-to-head
contact,
causing
poor
sound
quality,
upsetting
stereo
balance, and causing fluctuations in tape speed. Clean the
heads regularly with special head-cleaning swabs, or a soft
cloth dipped in cleaning fluid.
To clean the pinch rollers, set the tape deck to the playback
mode. Proceed to clean the pinch rollers while rotating them.
1. Moisten the cleaning stick in the cleaning fluid.
2. Press the POWER switch to ON.
3. Press the EJECT button to open the cassette door.
4. Press the door detection pin that is used to detect the
casing of the casstte tape.
5. Press the forward play switch ( >) or the reverse play
switch ( < ). In the case of reverse direction, the pinch
roller will rotate only for about 4 seconds. If the reverse
play
(< ) switch is pressed again, the pinch roller will
rotate again.
6. Clean the pinch roller and capstan with the cleaning stick.
NOTE:
*
After cleaning, do not load a tape (for 2 to 3 minutes)
until the cleaning fluid has dried.

DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS
After using the cassette deck over a period of time, the heads
will become magnetized. The same effect is also caused by
bringing a screwdriver, magnet or other magnetized object
too near the heads. This causes loss of high-frequency sound
during recording and playback, and is also a cause of in-
terference noise. The heads should be regularly demagnetiz-
ed with a head demagnetizer (eraser) which can be purchas-
ed at the dealers shops.
When demagnetizing the heads, be sure the cassette deck's
POWER
switch is in the OFF position. For detailed instruc-
tions,
consult
the
operating
manual
for your
head
de-
magnetizer (eraser).
CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL
SECTION
Wipe the front panel and the cassette holder when dusty or
greasy with a soft cloth containing a small amount of or-
dinary washing-up liquid. Then, wipe dry with a cloth. Never
use volatile spirits like thinners, benzine or alcohol because
they will damage the panel's finish.
