prolonged periods of time. This results in noise being generated
and the treble dropping off during recording and piayback. The
head should therefore be demagnetized
regularly with a head
demagnetizer
(sold separately}. For further details, refer to the
operating instructions accompanying your head demagnetizer.
NOTE:
* Do not hold screwdrivers, metal objects, or magnets close to
the heads.

the heads, be sure the unit's POWER
switch is to the standby position.
