NOTE
@Do not use ordinary cellophane tape as it tends to spoil record-
ing tapes. Also avoid using magnetized scissors or razor blades.
Magnetized instruments will cause a "click" or "pop" at the
spliced portion.
@ Take care not to unnecessarily touch the tape. Even unvisible
traces of grease and sweat from your fingers will hinder a good
sticking.
Searching the program beginning in rewind or fast-forward
mode ;
While the tape is fast-winding, depress the pause button, then
slightly push up the left and right pinch rollers against the heads.
Chattering sounds will be heard from the recorded part of the
tape. Search the blank portion between these sounds.
The sound volume may be changed according to the pressure ap-
plied to the pinch rollers by your fingers.
@Don't push the pinch rollers excessively. Too much pressure
will deteriorate or even cut the tape.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of heads and tape path
Generally cleaning after every 10 hours of operation will be suf-
ficient. However all surfaces over which tape travels should be
cleaned before making high quality recordings.
Take the supplied head cleaning pen and wipe the heads and tape
path.
For easier cleaning of pinch roller and capstan, rotate them by
holding the automatic shut-off switch and the tape guide with a
rubber band. Supply the power to the unit and depress the »
button.

Demagnetizing heads
Residual magnetism will gradually build up on the heads through
continuous use and cause erasure of high frequencies and hiss
build-up. The heads and metallic parts of the tape path should be
demagnetized after 20-30 hours of operation with a commercially
available head demagnetizer.
Be sure the unit is turned off.
Cleaning cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly
moisténed with mild soap solution. Do not use any type of scour-
ing powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
Inside check
Consult your nearest Sony Service Station or Sony dealer once a
year to maintain optimum performance.
