Maintenance The heads and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized periodically. Cleaning tape path O Apply head cleaning fluid* to a cotton bud or soft cloth, and lightly rub the heads, capstan and all metal parts in the tape path. O Also clean the pinch roller using rubber cleaning fluid*. * Both are available in TEAC Tape Cleaning Kits HC-2 and RC-2 in the U.S.A. or TZ-261 in other areas. Pinch Roller Capstan Erase Head Record/Play Head Demagnetizing heads Be sure that the power is off, then demagnetize the heads using a TEAC E-3 demagnetizer. For details of its use, read its instructions.
