Removal the cassette lid Press the STOP/EJECT key to open the cassette lid, then lift the door up and out to remove as illustrated balow. 2. Cleaning and demagnetizing Head cleaning Sound quality is greatly influenced by accumulation ‘of magnetic particles an the recording/ playback head, For the clearest possible sound, be sure to clean the head periodically, normally 2 — 3 times a month. A dirty head will cause ‘© Poor sound quality (loss of high sound) © Decreased volume © Skipping © Poor erasing incomplete erasure of previous recording) To prevent these problems, clean the head and capstan shaft with a cleaning pen or cotton swab dipped in a Little aleoho! 6 te wecreevemenent) | oe oe NNN UJ Fecarding ond Playback hed LI | [7eNXe If the pinch roller is dirty, the tape may become tangled and damaged by wrapping around the roller. Clean the pinch roller when cleaning the head. Use 2 special cleaner and cotton swab, Head cleaning materials must never be used for the pinch roller Demagnetizing Residual magnetism builds up in the head after the ‘catsette deck hes been used for a long period of time, This buildup introduces noise and static into recording tapes and lowers the high frequency range, To prevent this, demagnetize the erasing and recording/playback head, as well as other affected ‘metal parts (like the capstan shaft) once every 50 —5- hours of use. Keep the tape deck power OFF while Using the demagnetizer. Also place tapes far away from the work area, 3, Removal the front panel Remove four screws which hold the top cover to side bracket and lift the top cover up. Remove five screws Which hold the front panel to the front bracket. 4, Replacement of reel motor 1) Remove the printed circuit board (78). 2) Remove the three screws which hold the motor bracket (68) and the chactis (22) 3) Remove the two screws which hold the electro: magnetic brake ass'y (63) and the reel platform case (64). 4} Replace the reel motor assy. 5. Replacement of drive motor 1) Remove the two screws which hold the cassette ‘quide (30) and the cassette case (39) 2) Remove the screw (41) and Remove the cassette ‘guide (30) and the cassette case (39) from the pin of side bracket. 3) Remove the printed circuit board (78). 4) Remove the two screws (83) 6. ACCUBIAS Adjust System Although the tape deck is equipped with an ACCUBIAS system for fine bias adjustment, with most tapes you will get excellent results by just Feaving the bias adjusment knob in the center clickstop position. Nevertheless, some tapes may require additional bias adjustment in order to give flat frequency response. in those cases, refer to the following diagram. For tapes not listed, use the O setting ae Portion detation Roles) {Cassettn ohne Chromkeanunden.) 7. Fade Out Funetion To fade out the sound at the end of a recording, depress the Fade Out control and turn it slowly clockwise as far as it will go. Fade out should be performed while listening to a tape so the speed of the fading out (ie,, rate at which the control is turned) can be matched to each tape.PRECAUTIONS 1. AC Fuse 2.
