Demagnetizing
The heads are made from a material resistant to
magnetization, but after long use they may become
magnetized. A magnet brought into their vicinity can
magnetize the heads, causing excess noise. If noise seems to
have increased, demagnetize the heads with a head
demagnetizer through the following procedure.
1. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
2. Wrap the tip of the demagnetizer with vinyl tape or soft
cloth so as not to damage the head surface. Switch on
the demagnetizer and bring it close to the head.
3. Move the tip of the demagnetizer slowly first to the left
and right, then up and down in front of the head.
Gradually move it away from the head and switch it off
at a distance of more than 30cm. (12’’)
4. The erase head need not be demagnetized. The capstan
shaft and tape guide should be demagnetized in the same
way as the record/playback head.
