CUE
SENSITIVITY
ADJUSTMENT
The
cue
tones sensors are adjusted to operate
on
a tone
at
a
level
below
the
NAB
standard
cue
tone
levels.
This allows
for
variations
in tone level caused
by
tape wear,
etc.
At
the
factory,
Series
3000
units
are adjusted to sense tones 6
dB
below
the
NAB
standard
levels.
When
a cue tone
test
cartridge
is
available
with tones recorded
at
a level
below
the
NAB
standard
cue
tone
level,
the sensors
may
be
ad-
justed
while reproducing the
cue
tone
test
cartridge.
During the 1,000
Hz
stop tone,
adjust
the
CUE
SENS
1
kHz
control
so
that
the sensor
just
triggers
and
stops the
unit.
During
the
150
Hz
tone,
adjust
the
CUE
SENS
150
Hz
control
so
that
the sensor
just
triggers
to
light
the
Q1
150Hz tone.
During
the 8,000
Hz
tone,
adjust
the
CUE
SENS
8kHz control
so
that
the sensor
just
triggers
to
light
the
Q11
8kHz
indicator
lamp.

may
be
used to
adjust
the sensors.
However,
a

test
cartridge
or
cue
tone recording of
known
quality
must
be
