NOTES:
1)
As
perfect
head
adjustments
are
vital
to
tape
deck
performance,
be
sure
that
these
adjustments
are
carried out properly.
2)
Be
careful
not
to
use
a
magnetized
driver
or
other
magnetized
tools
in
the
vicinity
of
the
heads.
3)
Use
only
new
tape
as
level
variation
is
likely
to
occur
when
using
old
tape.
4)
Demagnetize
heads
with
head
demagnetizer
before
and
after
head
adjustment.
5) Set tape speed to 7-1/2 ips except.
6)
Adjustments
outlined
in
Chart
1
are
only
for
FWD
side
heads.
However,
adjustments
for
REV
side
heads
are
exactly
the
same.
