the operation after the condensation has dried up.

Be specially cautions against condensation in a following cir-

cumstance:

difference in temperature, when the humidity in the room where this

unit in installed increases, etc.

Important items

Cleaning the heads and peripheral com-

ponents

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and

for longer service life, always keep the head (record-

1. Open the cassette holder.

2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the

head (recording/playback/erase), capstan and

pinch roller carefully.
