will
be
impaired,

in
a

therefore
recommended
that
the
head
section
be
cleaned
regularly.

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
demagnetizer.
For
further
details,
refer
to
the
Operating
instructions
accompanying
your
head
demagnetizer.
NOTE:
*
Do
not
hold
screwdriver,
metal
objects
or
magnets
close
to
the
heads.
«
When
demagnetizing
the
heads,
be
sure
the
unit’s
POWER
button
is
in
the
