ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Note:
The adjustment should be performed in the order given in the ser-
vice manual. As a rule, adjustments about playback should be per-
formed before those about recording.
The adjustments should be performed before for both L-CH and R-
CH.
• Switches and controls should be set as follows unless otherwise
specified.
DOLBY NR, MPX FILTER switch: OFF
MONITOR switch: Tape
• Standard Record:
Deliver the standard input signal level to the input jack and set
the REC LEVEL control to obtain the standard output signal
level.
