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.
