PINCH WHEEL
& CAPSTAN CLEANING
If
foreign
matter is allowed
to
accumulate
on the Pinch
Wheel and Capstan, these
particles
will come off on
the
tape causing deterioration of
sound
quality.
Oil
adhering to
the
Capstan also causes irregularity in
tape transport. It is,
therefore,
recommended
that these
parts
be
wiped clean
occasionaily. For
Pinch Wheel
.and
Capstan
cleaning,
use
Akai cleaning fluid
(from
Head
Cleaning Kit HC-500)
or
alcohol.
While the
GX
Heads usually require
no cleaning, if
old tape
or
splicing tape is used, because
the
particles
from
such tape
are voluminous, head
cleaning
is recommended. In
such an
instance,
ciean
heads
with a cotton
swab stick
soaked in
Akai cleaning fluid
or alcohol.
*
Do not use
such chemicals
as chlorothane, etc.
as the rubber
parts
will deteriorate.
HEAD
DEMAGNETIZING
Normally, the steel
pole pieces
which form
part
of the
recording and
playback
heads become
slightly
magnetized.
The
effect
of
magnetization is that it causes
considerable
drop-out and introduces
noise into
your
recordings.
It is,
therefore, recommended
that
demagnetizing be
performed
periodically.
This can
be
accomplished
with a bulk de-
magnetízer by
bringing the
prongs
close to the heads
and
making
several
circular motions over
all
head
surface areas
as well as the head housing.
*
Be
sure to cut off
the
power
of
the
unit
prior
to demagnetizing
the
heads.
*
Do not use magnetized
tools
in
the vicinity
of the
heads.
*
Read demagnetizer instructions
carefully
prior
to
demagnetizing
the
heads.
HOW TO USE
THE
DIN JACK
The Din Jack
can
be used instead of REC and
PB
Jacks
if
your
amplifier has a corresponding connection.
This one-
cord system
eliminates the necessity
of
four
separate
connections and disconnections. If
the output level of
your
amplifier is more than 50
mV, set
the
Din Jack Highllow
Input Switch to HIGH
position,
and when less than
50 mV,
set
to
LOW
position.
TAPE ERASING
Any signals
previously
recorded
on the tape will be
automatically
erased as a new recording is made. No
plugs
should
be connected to the Input
Jacks
and Volume
Controls
should
be kept
at minimum. For
quick
and
complete
erasure, the
use
of a bulk tape eraser
is recom-
mended.
