Maintenance - Teac W-865R Manual Del Usuario

If the surface of the deck becomes soiled, wipe it clean with a
dry, soft cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, wipe with a cloth
slightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
water, then moisten a cloth with water, wring it well, and rub
over the surface.
Do not allow the deck to remain in contact with rubber or
vinyl products for a long period of time, as these could
damage the surface finish.
Never use volatile cleaners like thinners, benzine or alcohol
because they will damage the surface finish.
CAUTION:
For safety, always unplug the power cord before performing
any maintenance.
Cleaning the heads
If the head section gets dirty, the recording quality will
deteriorate, resulting in degraded playback sound or "drops"
in sound. Also, if the tape transport path gets dirty, the tape
may get entangled in the rotating parts. It is therefore
recommended that the heads, pinch rollers and capstans be
cleaned regularly at intervals of 10-hour use with a cotton
swab moistened with a commercially available, appropriate
cleaning liquid.
NOTE:
Do not make a recording or play back tape when the tape
transport path is wet with cleaning liquid, as this could cause
the tape to jam or clog.
