ENGLISH

Fault

Playback sound is muffled and high
frequencies are inaudible.

When playing back tapes recorded on
other decks, meter deflections are
greater (smaller) than when recording.

Cause

A tape recorded without Dolby NR is
played back with Dolby NR on.

Heads are dirty.

Heads are magnetized.

Basic levels are different for different
cassette decks.

Cure

Playback in OFF position.

Clean heads and carry out
demagnetization with head
demagnetizer.

This is not a fault.
