Maintenance
Your recorder requires no routine maintenance and under no circumstances should you attempt to lubricate any parts of the unit. We strongly recommend using a professional Cassette Head Cleaning Kit. We do not recommend cleaning the tape heads manually as it may damage the unit, voiding the warranty. To clean the tape heads yourself, remove any cassette from the compartment and leave the lid raised. Using a cotton ball moistened with a drop of isopropyl alcohol, wipe the tape head.
Failure to maintain the tape heads in clean condition can result in muffled reproduction, poor recordings and incomplete erasures. Failure to maintain the pinch-roller and capstan shaft in clean condition, is likely to cause the tape to entangle and come out of the cassette. Do not touch the tape head with any metallic or sharp-pointed object.
