will
be
impaired,

Demagnetizing
the
head
|
The
recording/playback
head
becomes
magnetized
when
you
use
the
tape
deck
for
prolonged
periods
of
time.
This
results
in
noise
being
generated
and
the
treble
dropping
off
during
recording
and
playback.
The
recording/playback
head
should
therefore
be
demagnetized
regularly
with
a
commonly
sold
head
demagnetizer.
For
further
details,
refer
to
the
operating
instructions
accompanying
your
head
demagnetizer.

demagnetizing
the
heads,
