1-D. Azimuth Alignment of Audio/Control/
Erase Head
Purpose: To correct the Azimuth alignment so that
the Audio/Control/Erase Head meets tape tracks
properly.
Symptom of Misalignment: If the position of the
Audio/Control/Erase Head is not properly aligned, the
Audio S/N Ratio or Frequency Response will be poor.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to the audio output jack
on the rear side of the deck.
2. Playback the alignment tape (FL8NW) and
confirm that the audio signal output level is 8kHz.
3. Adjust Azimuth Adj. Screw so that the output level
on the AC Voltmeter or the waveform on the
oscilloscope is at maximum. (Fig. M6)
Note: Upon completion of the adjustment of Azimuth
Adj. Screw, check the X Value by pushing the
[TRACKING
] or [TRACKING ] buttons on the
unit alternately, to check the symmetry of the
envelope. Check the number of pushes to ensure
preset position. The number of pushes of the
[TRACKING
] button to achieve 1/2 level of
envelope should match the number of pushes of the
[TRACKING
] button from center. If required, redo
the “X Value Alignment.”
1-E. Checking and Alignment of Tape
Path during reversing
Purpose: To make sure that the tape path is well
stabilized during reversing.
Symptom of Misalignment: If the tape path is
unstable during reversing, the tape will be damaged.
Note: Do not use an Alignment Tape for this
procedure. If the unit is not correctly aligned, the tape
may be damaged.
1. Insert a blank cassette tape into the tray and set
the unit to REV. Then confirm if the tape has been
curled up or bent at the Take-up Guide Post[4] or
REV Post[5]. (Refer to Fig. M11 and M12.)
2. When the tape has been curled up or bent, turn
the alignment screw to adjust the height of REV
Post. (Refer to Fig. M11 and M13.)
