be exposed to water, moisture or dust.
• If necessary, clean the unit with a piece of
cloth dampened with water only (be sure the
AC power cord is disconnected from the power
supply).
• The heads and capstan are in constant
contact with the moving tape. Use a small

recorded at a later stage, simply cover the
