Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit. To clean the cabinet Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit, To clean the heads and tape paths After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.) When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head (deck 2 only), erasure head (deck 2 only), capstans, and pinchrollers. \/ iI After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes, To demagnetize the heads The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available demagnetizer. Care of discs q When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth. If the unit fails to perform as described in these Operating Instructions, check the following guide. GENERAL There is no sound. q Is the AC cord connected properly? q Is there a bad connection?
