Precaution
1. Clean the following parts with a denatured-alcohol-moistened
swab:
record/playback head pinch roller
erase head rubber belts
capstan idlers
2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demag-
netizer. (Do not bring the head magnetizer close to the erase
head.)
3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. After the adjustments, appiy suitable locking compound to the
parts adjusted.
5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.

demagnetizer.
2. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
TEST TAPE
Tape Signal Used for
P-4-A063 6.3 kHz, –10 dB Azimuth Adjustment
RECORD/PLAYBACK HEAD AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT
Procedure:
1. Mode: Playback
2. Turn the adjustment screw and check output peaks. If the peaks
do not match for L-CH and R-CH, turn the adjustment screw
so that outputs match within 1dB of peak.
3. Mode: Playback
4. Confi rm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check RF sig-
nal level is correct or not.
