MAINTENANCE

The MT120 recording & playback head has been precision-constructed to extremely fine tolerances in order to make high-

quality 4-track recording possible. Optimum performance can only be achieved if the head surface is kept immaculately

clean. Cleaning should be carried out at regular intervals — at least after every 10 hours of use

Dirty heads can cause any of, or a combination of, the following problems:

l Recording, playback and erasure are not possible.

l Reduced playback sound level.

l Fluctuating and or/distorted sound.

l Excessive noise.

l A drop in level at the high frequencies.

If any of the above problems occur, clean the heads careful

before

assuming the fault is with the recorder. Use a commercially

available head-cleaning kit (read the instructions provided with the kit), or wipe carefully with a cloth or cotton swab that has

been dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Also clean the pinch roller at the same time as the heads.

* Clean the Shaded Areas
