deck head demagnetization
•In order to
maintain
good sound
quality during recording
and
playback,
we recommend
that
you demagnetize
the
head assem-
bly
when
there
is
still
distortion or
poor sound
quality after
you
have
cleaned
the heads.
•
If
the
head assembly
becomes
magnetized,
it
could create noise
in
your
recordings,
cause a
loss of
high-frequency response, or
cause the erasure
of
valuable recordings.
There
are several types
of
head
demagnetizers
that
you can purchase
at local
electronics
supply
stores.
Follow the
instructions that
are supplied with the demagnetizer.
• Do
not touch the
head assembly
with
any
type
of
metal
object or
tool
such as a magnetic screwdriver.
Maintenance
of external
surfaces
• Use
a
soft,
dry
cloth to
clean the cabinet and
controls.
If
the
surfaces are extremely
dirty,
use a
soft cloth,
dipped
in
a
soap-and-water
solution or
a
weak
detergent
solution.
Wring
the
cloth well
before wiping the surfaces.
Then
wipe once
again with
a
soft,
dry
cloth.
•Never
use
alcohol, paint thinner,
benzine, or a chemically treated
cloth to
clean the cabinet
or controls.
Such
chemicals
may dam-
age the
finish of
your system.
