DECK MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
Purpose: To insure smooth Transport of the Tape during each Mode of Operation.
If the Tape Transport is abnormal, then check the Torque as indicated by the chart below.
2. Preparation for Adjustment (To set the
Deck Mechanism to the Loading state
without inserting a Cassette Tape).
1) Unplug the Power Cord from the AC Outlet.
2) Disassemble the Top Cover and Top Plate Assembly.
3) Plug the Power Cord into the AC Outlet.
4) Turn the Power S/W. Push the Stop Lever of the CST
Holder Assembly to the back for Loading without the
Tape.
Cover the Holes of the End Sensors at the both sides of
the (L) Side Bracket and Door Bracket Assembly to pre-
vent a light leak.
Then The Deck Mechanism drives to the Stop Mode.
In this case, The Deck Mechanism can accept inputs of
each mode, however the Rewind and Review Operation
can not be performed for more than a few seconds
because the Take-up Reel Table is in the Stop Mode
and can not detect the Reel Pulses.
3. Checking Torque
The Values are measured by using a Torque Gauge and
Torque Gauge Adaptor with the Torque Gauge affixed. The Torque reading to measure occurs when the Tape
abruptly changes direction from Fast Forward of Rewind
Mode, when quick bracking is applied to both Reels.

Checking Method
• Perform each Deck Mechanism Mode without
inserting a Cassette Tape (Refer to above No.2
Preparation for Adjustment).
• Read the Measurement of the Take-up or Supply
Reels on the Cassette Torque Meter (Fig. C-3-2).
