1) Play the alignment tape (NTSC:VHJ-0006, PAL:VHJ-00
09) and check that the envelope waveform is activated
immediately and that there are no fluctuations in the
envelope waveform or the audio output waveform.
2) Load a cassette tape (NTSC:T-120, PAL: E-180) and
use it to record and replay. Check that the envelope
waveform is activated immediately and that there are no
fluctuations in the envelope waveform or the audio
output waveform. (When recording on the tape, input
1kHz to the audio input terminal. Use a scratch-free
cassette tape (NTSC: T-120, PAL: E-180).) Check that
at the tracking centre, the front half down and back half
down are not more than 20% of the value at the point
where the envelope waveform amplitude is at its
maximum.
3) Check that the envelope waveform is activated immedi-
ately when you switch from PLAY to R-SEARCH or from
R-SEARCH to PLAY. Check that there is no slack in the
tape next to the pinch roller.

upper or lower flanges of the tape guides in PLAY, FF,
REW, F-SEARCH or R-SEARCH modes.
