Note:
Whenever replacing the reel disk, perform the height check-
ing and adjustment.
Notes:
1. Hold the torque gauge by hand so that it is not moved.
2. Do not keep the reel disk in lock state. Do not allow long-
time measurement.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT OF TAKE-UP
TORQUE IN REWIND MODE
• Remove the cassette housing control assembly.
• After short-circuiting TP801 provided at the center
(facing to the main PWB), plug in the power cord.
• Setting
1. Set a torque gauge to zero on the scale. Place it on the
supply reel disk.
2. Press the rewind button.
3. To calculate the remaining capacity, slowly rotate the
take-up reel disk, and then shift it into the rewind mode.
• Checking
1. Turn the torque gauge slowly (one rotation every 2 to 3
seconds) by hand in the CCW direction.
2. Make sure that the indication of torque gauge is not less
than 30mN·m (306gf·cm).

CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT OF TAKE-UP
TORQUE IN FAST FORWARD MODE
• Remove the cassette housing control assembly.
• After short-circuiting TP801 provided at the center
(facing to the main PWB), plug in the power cord.
• Setting
1. Set a torque gauge to zero on the scale. Place it on the
take-up reel disk.
2. Press the FF button.
3. To calculate the remaining capacity of the play back
mode, slowly rotate the supply reel disk, and then shift
it into the forward mode.
• Checking
1. Turn the torque gauge slowly (one rotation every 2 to 3
seconds) by hand in the CW direction.
2. Make sure that the indication of torque gauge is not less
than 30mN·m (306gf·cm).

• Adjustment
1. If the rewind winding-up torque is less than the specified
value, clean the capstan D.D. motor pulley, drive belt,
and limiter pulley with cleaning liquid, rewind again, and
check the winding-up torque.
2. If the winding-up torque is still out of range, replace the
drive belt.

• Adjustment
1. If the FF winding-up torque is less than the specified
value, clean the capstan D.D. motor pulley, reel belt, and
limiter pulley with cleaning liquid, and check again.
2. If the torque is less than the set value, replace the reel
belt.
