Using the easy demagnetization function
Using the easy demagnetization function to demagnetize MC car-
tridges with iron cores and step-up transformers, for example, could
improve the sound quality by making it clearer and giving it greater
definition.
1
Use the INPUT knob to select the input source
that has the cartridge connected you want to
demagnetize.
2
Press the DEMAG button to turn on easy
demagnetization.
The indicator to the left of the button lights when easy demag-
netization is on.
This sets the load impedance to 0 Ω and shorts both ends of the
cartridge.
3
Play a record.
The playback signal current goes through the cartridge and
demagnetizes it.
o Demagnetization takes about 30 seconds. Keep the record
playing for about 30 seconds.
o No playback sound is output when in DEMAG position.
4
Press the DEMAG button to turn off easy
demagnetization.
Confirm that the indicator to the left of the button is no longer lit.
