Demagnetizing Residual magnetism builds up in the heads after the cassette deck has been used for an extended period of time. This buildup introduces noise and static into tapes and impairs high frequency response. To prevent this, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available head eraser once every 50 hours of use. Refer to the instruction manual of the head eraser for detailed instructions. 17 Specifications TA-RW544 Track Format: Erasure System: Tape Speed: 4-track, 2-channels AC erase 4. 8 cm/sec. [. . . ]
