Head demagnetization
In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and
playback, it is recommended that the head assembly be demagne-
tized when distortion or poor sound quality persist after cleaning the
heads.
If the head assembly becomes magnetized, it could create noise in
the recordings, loss of high-frequency response or erasure of
valuable recordings. Several types of head demagnetizers are
available and may be pumhased at local electronics supply stores.
Follow the instructions that are supplied with the device.
Do not bring any type of metal objects or tools such as magnetic
screwdrivers in contact with the head assembly.
