DEMAGNETIZING THE HEAD
The recording/playback head becomes magnetized when you use the
cassette 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 dernagnetizer.
To avoid adversely affecting the cassette deck amplifier and speakers,
be sure to set the volume level to MIN. Aiso disconnect the headphone
plug from the PHONES jack.
For further details, refer 10 the operating instructions accompanying your
head demagnetizer.
NOTE:
@ Do nat hold screwdriver, metal objects or magnets close to the heads.
