PINCH
ROLLER
PRESSURE
CHECK
1) Place the unit in play mode.
2) Push the pinch roller, at the point (A) shown in Fig.10—1,
by using a tension gauge (500 gr.) so that it will come off
the capstan. Then, slowly release the tension until the pinch
roller hits the capstan again (i.e., the pinch roller is about
to rotate again). Check, then, the tension gauge is reading
270 gr. to 320 qr.
3) If the reading is outside the range of 270 gr. to 320 gr.
bend
the pinch
roller spring or replace.

ADJUSTMENT
1) Make

at ''tape'' position.
3) Put a test tape (TEAC,
MTT-114,
10 kHz
250 pWb/m,
—10dB
prerecorded)
into the unit and
play it.
4) Adjust

Note:
If a dual-trace
oscilloscope
is available, perform
the adjust-
ment so that the reading of the oscilloscope is maximal and
with
the
least
phase/output
difference
between channels.
After the work, check that the head azimuth adjusting screw
has been
secured
completely.

1) Connect
a wow/flutter meter, across
a 100 kohm resistor,
to the headphones jack.
2) Play a test tape (TEAC,

3) Put
a plastic

adjust
the semi-variable
resistor so that the output
frequency is 2960 ~ 3015 Hz on the wow/flutter meter.

1) Make a connection of instruments as shown in Fig. 10—3.
2) Set the function selector switch at ''tape'', the tape selector
switch
at "normal''
and the beat cancel switch
at "A"
position.
3) Place the unit in record mode, and see that the frequency
counter
is reading 60 + 5 kHz.
Change the beat cancel switch from "A" position to 'B"'
position,
then
see
that the present
