8 <Tension arm sub-assembly position adjustment> 1)Without loading a tape, set the mechanism mode
to PLAY mode.
To switch the mode, rotate worm wheel 2 while the
motor bracket assembly is disengaged (see 2.2,
“Mechanism Modes”).
2)Rotate the tension arm slightly clockwise to elimi-
nate production of rattle with the band arm plate.
3)Ensure that the notch on the tension arm is located
within area A. (See Fig. 2-7-8(e).)
4)If the tension arm is not located in area A, loosen
screw B (black) lightly and fine-adjust the position
of the band arm plate assembly. Turn the screw
counterclockwise to move the tension arm extrem-
ity toward the right or clockwise to move it toward
the left.
5)After the adjustment, clamp the band holder by
tightening screw B (black) (with a securing torque
of 5.88 Nm, or 0.6 kgf-cm). Then adjust the ten-
sion arm position again.
