MAlNTENANCE
As a good general rule, the tape heads, pinchroller and
capstan should be cleaned before each recording, thus
ensuring the best audio quality.
After the deck has been used for a period of time, the
heads, pinchroller, and capstan will become dirty. This
increases noise and uneven rotation, leading to a
deterioration in sound quality. Therefore, periodic clean-
ing and demagnetization is a must to preserve optimal
audio performance.
Use cotton swabs and alcohol or head cleaning fluid
(available in most all audio stores) to clean the heads,
capstan, and pinchroller. Keeping the heads clean is
essential for good recordings. For demagnetization, use
a quality head demagnetizer, and follow the, instructions
carefully.
