Cleaning

Cleaning

should

be

performed

before

each

recording

session

and

once

every

10

hours

of

playback

time.

If

the

heads,

capstan

or

pressure

roller

are

dirty,

dropouts

may

occur

and

high-frequency

response

and

wow-and-flutter

characteristics

may

be

severely

degraded.

When

cleaning,

with

the

cassette

holder

open,

remove

the

cassette

holder

door

by

lifting

it

up

then

pulling

it

towards

you.

After

this,

clean

the

heads,

capstan

and

pinch

rollers

using

cotton

swabs

dipped

in

cleaning

fluid.

@

We

recommended

a

zero-residue

flourocarbon-based

fluid

which

can

be

purchased

at

your

local

audio

dealer.

@

About

once

every

50

hours

of

use,

the

heads

and

capstan

should

be

demagnetized

with

the

Nakamichi

DM-10

demagnetizer

or

any

other

properly

designed

wand-type

demagnetizer.

Otherwise,

residual

magnetism

can

induce

noise

and

degrade

high-frequency

response.
