TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND CHECK
(Checking the RF Waveform)
• Checking the RF waveform
Check that the RF waveforms at both the entrance and exit are flat
while the tracking tape (J-6) runs in the PLAY mode.
4-9.
TRACK CHECK
• Check
The difference between the maximum value and minimum value
of the waveform amplitude during playback of the tracking tape
(J-6) in the FWD mode should be 30% or less of the waveform
amplitude during the CUE (or REV) mode (which is taken as 100%
as shown). At the same time, there must not exist too much fluc-
tuation of waveform amplitude.
• If not flat
If the waveform at the entrance is bad, rotate TG3. If the wave-
form at the exit is bad, rotate TG6 to flatten the waveform.
