8.2.2. TENSION POST ADJUSTMENT
Purpose:
To maintain a constant tape tension so that the tape runs with
stability.
Symptom of Misadjustment:
1. If the adjusted value is below the specification, the tape tension is
not sufficient, thus causing a tape slack.
2. If the adjusted value is above the specification, the tape tension is
too high, thus causing tape damage.
Equipment Required:
Flat Headed (-) Screwdriver (Purchase Locally)
1. Without cassette tape, place the Mechanism in the PLAY Position
(the Tension Post goes to the most left side) by applying DC
Power Supply (3 V) to the Loading Motor terminal.
2. Confirm that there is a space of 0 mm±0.5 mm between the right
edge of the Tension Post and the left edge of the S3 Post. If not,
with Flat Headed (-) Screwdriver, adjust the Tension Adjust Pin so
that the space of 0 mm±0.5 mm is made.
