Mini Stereo  (130-1270)         Maintenance             Faxback Doc. # 6741
Component System

You should follow a careful maintenance schedule to achieve the best
performance and prolong the system's life.

CAUTION:  Always turn off the system and disconnect the power cord
          from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

CLEANING THE CABINET

Do not use harsh chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners to clean the
cabinet.  Wipe off dust and stains with a soft cloth moistened only with a
mild soap and water solution.

CLEANING THE TAPE DECK

The tape heads, pinch rollers, and capstan require cleaning every 10 to 15
hours of tape play.  To clean, insert a head cleaning cassette, available
at the local Radio Shack store, into the player and operate the system in
a normal manner for 1 to 2 minutes, or follow instructions included with
the head cleaner cassette.  You can also clean the deck parts by using a
cotton swab moistened with a head cleaner solution, available at the local
Radio Shack store.  Gently rub the tape heads, pinch roller, and capstan
with the moist cotton swab.

CHOOSING CASSETTE TAPES

We recommend you only use tape 100 minutes or shorter in length, produced
by well-known manufacturers.  Longer tapes can jam your tape deck or cause
inferior performance.  For recording, use only normal bias cassette tapes.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

Although the music track on the discs are covered with a protective layer,
treat the disc carefully.  Always pick up discs by the edge and put them 
back in their holders immediately after use.

CLEANING COMPACT DISCS

Cleaning is not normally necessary, however, if fingerprints, dust, or
soil appear, you can wipe them off with a soft, lint-free cloth.  Wipe the
disc in a straight line from the center to the edge.  If required, moisten
the disc first with warm water or a CD cleaning solution.  Never use
detergents, abrasive cleaners, or cleaning agents made for conventional
phonograph records.
