General Note: "CBA" is an abbreviation for "Circuit
Board Assembly".
Notes:
1. Electrical adjustments are required after replacing
circuit components and certain mechanical parts. It
is important to do these adjustments only after all
repairs and replacements have been completed.
Also, do not attempt these adjustments unless the
proper equipment is available.
2. To perform these alignment / confirmation proce-
dures, make sure that the tracking control is set in

button first, then the " PLAY " button (VCR’s Front
Panel only).
Test Equipment Required
1. Oscilloscope: Dual-trace with 10:1 probe, V-Range:
0.001~50V/Div., F-Frange: AC~DC-20MHz
2. Alignment Tape ( FL6A )
1. Head Switching Position
