supply pinch roller guide or the record/
playback head will be made the standard tape
paths. Moreover, when it is necessary to
adjust and replace, two or more of any of the
heads and/or pinch rollers, replace them one
by one, completely taking out the first tape
path, and then replacing the second one.
If it is curling, remove the curl by adjusting the
tape curl adjustment screw. Then, check that the
tape is running past the middle of the erasehead.

Preparation :
1. Mirror cassette CQO09C 8-909-708-01
(or CQ012C 8-909-708-02)
If one does not have this, cut out the sections of

by the same angle, moving the head so that it
remains at the same angle throughout the

3. (Declination Adjustment) While in the record/
playback position, set the back tension to 0 (wind
the supply reel with something thin like a pencil
in a counterclockwise direction) and make sure
there is no curling or shifting (shifting up/
shifting down) at the guide of the record/
playback head. .
Because shifting can only occur due to a difference
in the width of the tape and that of the tape guides
(curling will otherwise occur), it is necessary to pay
close attention since it can be easily overlooked.
When there is a shift, tighten screws © and @ equally
and change the declination of the head. If the tape
is shifting up, tighten the screws, and if it is shifting
down, loosen them.
