I PURHASED THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CDR20 HARMAN KARDON RECORDER. WHICH I PURCHASED NEW 12 YEARS AGO. AFTER REVIEWING THE MANUAL, I WAS ABLE TO ADJUST THE TENSIONER IN THE SYSTEM. WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!.
SAVED ME AT LEAST 100.00 WHICH WAS WHAT A SERVICE REPAIR STATION WANTED. GREAT MANUAL EASY TO READ. SPECIALLY AFTER I PRINTED THE PAGES WHICH DEALT WITH MY RECORDER. THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!
I have never bought a service manual which is as competely readable as this althogh it was a scanned pdf. Thank you for this succesful manual also cheaper than other sites.

Procedure 1.Remove the top cabinet. 2.Put on a glove (thin type) to avoid touching the upper and lower drum with your bare hand. 3.Put a few drops of 90% ethyl alcohol on the head cleaning stick or on the chamois cloth and, by slightly pressing it against the head tip, turn the upper drum to the right and to the left. Notes: 1.The video head surface is made of very hard material, but since it is very thin, avoid cleaning it vertically. 2.Wait for the cleaned part to dry thoroughly before operating the unit. 3.Do not reuse a stained head cleaning stick or a stained chamois cloth.
