head)
2. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
3. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to
the parts adjust.
4. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
5. The adjustments should be performed in the order given in
this service manual. (As a general rule, playback circuit ad-
justment should be completed before performing recording
