Head demagnetization
In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and
playback,
it is recommended
that
the
head
assembly
be
demagnetized when distortion or poor sound quality persist after
cleaning the heads.
If the head assembly becomes magnetized, it could create noise
in recordings, loss of high-frequency response, or erasure of
valuable recordings. Several types of head demagnetizers are
available and may be purchased 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.
Maintenance of external surfaces
To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth, dipped into a
soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution.
Wring the cloth well before wiping the unit.
Wipe once again with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated
cloth to clean this unit.
Such chemicals may damage the finish of your unit.
