T | After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag- |
netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once | |
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial | |
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions | |
carefully before use. | |

| Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce the vol- |
| ume. |
| Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter plug and |
| are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance. The recommend- |
zed impedance is 32 ohms. | |
z | Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers automati- |
cally. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME buttons. | |
