_t
1.
Before playing back
the
test
tape, thoroughly demag-
netize
the
heads, capstan and similar metal parts using
an erase, as
the
test
tape-recorded
tone
is
easily erased.
2. Do
not
place
the
test
tape
on
any measuring instrument.
3.
Do
not
put
the
test
tape
near a place where
the
eraser
is
used.
4.
Method of Demagnetization: Turn
the
eraser power
..
switch
on
at a position far away from
the
heads. Bring
the
eraser close
to
the
heads, capstan and
other
parts
to
be demagnetized, and move it
up
and down four
or
five
times
to
demagnetize. Slowly separate
the
eraser far
away from
the
parts, and
turn
the
power switch off.
5.
Do
not
use any magnetized adjusting tool.
If
necessary,
demagnetize with a bulk eraser from time
to
time
in
the
course
of
each adjustment.
6.
Do
not
turn
semi-fixed resistor
or
coil more
than
needed.
7. Measure speed and wow and flutter
in
the
normal
operating state.
8.
Do
not
apply locking bond excessively.
9. Check
the
line voltage and
the
output
of low frequency
oscillator 2 - 3 times a day
to
see
if
they
are set
as
specified.
5.1
Head Azimuth Adjustment
1. Play
the
test
tape MTT256 back. Adjust the head azimuth
adjusting screw for maximum VTVM reading.
2. If the peak levels
of
the
left and right channels are
different set
the
screws
to
obtain
the
mechanical
center
between
the
peaks.
3. After adjustment, repeat
the
playback and
stop
settings
several times
to
confirm no azimuth deviation.
4. After adjustment, lock
the
screws with bond.
