Tape Speed Adjustment
Procedure:
Mode : FWD playback
Adjustment Value : normal tape speed
Confirm that the frequency difference between the tape top and
tape end is within 1.5 % (45 Hz).
Adjustment element : RV601
PRECAUTION
·
Clean the following parts with a denatured-alchool-moistened
swab:
record/playback head
erase head
pinch rollers
playback head
rubber belts
idlers
capstan
·
Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head
demagnetizer.
(Do not bring a head demagnetiger close to the erase head.)
·
Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
·
After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the
parts adjusted.
·
Perform adjustment under the specified voltage (DC6V) unless
otherwise specified.
