System 1036  (130-1258)           Maintenance          Faxback Doc. # 8827

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

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

CLEANING THE CABINET

Do not use Benzene, thinner or similar solvents, harsh 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 periodic cleaning
every 10 to 15 hours of tape play.  To clean, insert a head cleaning
cassette, available at your local Radio Shack store, into the player
and operate the system in a normal manner for 1 to 2 minutes, or follow
the instructions included with the head cleaner cassette.  You can also
clean the deck parts by hand using a cotton swab moistened with a head 
cleaner solution, available at your local Radio Shack store.  Gently rub
the tape heads, pinch roller, and capstan with the moist cotton swab.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

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

CLEANING COMPACT DISCS

Cleaning will not normally be necessary.  However, should 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 plain lukewarm water.  Never use
detergents, abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents made for conventional
phonograph records.
