Demagnetizer

The correct loading will be achieved when music has the right balance of dynamics, high frequency extension and lack of glare or brightness. Generally speaking, less loading (higher ohms) results in more high frequencies and more dynamics but can be too bright with some cartridges. More loading (lower ohms) can reduce brightness but if overdone can result in reduced dynamics and a dull, lifeless quality. Consult your dealer for loading recommendations on the cartridge(s) you are using. The selected load setting is stored in non-volatile memory and will therefore not be lost even if the power is disconnected.

The mute button is active while in the loading adjustment mode.

Pressing the demag button will activate the cartridge demagnetizer for phono section. The demag light will illuminate, the output will be muted and the demagnetizing signal will be applied to the cartridge. When the demagnetizing cycle is complete, the demag light will extinguish and normal operation will return. No buttons are active while demagnetizing.

Cartridges should be demagnetized weekly or anytime a muddiness or lack of clarity becomes apparent.

When not in use, the demagnetizer is fully deactivated. No power is applied to its circuits and the output is disconnected from the cartridges by a relay.
