Sony TC-K808ES - Bias Consumption Current Adjustment; Metal Bias Adjustment; Calibration and Level Meter Adjustment

Blas Consumption Current Adjustment
Note: The bias consumption current must be adjusted before adjusting
the record bias. Retry record bias adjustment after the bias
consumption current is adjusted.
Procedure:
1,
Set semi-fixed resistors RV104 (L-CH), RV204 (R-CH) and RV505
for record bias adjustment to mechanical center, and select the
recording mode without applying a signal.
Adjust T101 (L-CH) and T201 (R-CH) so that the digital voltmeter
reading becomes minimum.

Calibration Adjustment and Level Meter Adjustment
Condition:
CALIBRATION switch: ON
Procedure (oscillation output level adjustment):
1, Mode: record (No signal to LINE IN)

2, Adjust RV508 so that the 400Hz check point level is 2.32 —2.59V
(9.5dB—10.5dB).
3. Adjust RV507 so that the 8kHz check point level is 2.32 — 2.59V
(9.5dB—10.5dB).
Procedure (level meter adjustment):
1. Record mode (No signal to LINE IN)
2. Adjust RV102 to higher side, then lower it gradually.
Adjsut so that the level “‘a” higher by one point than 0dB of LOW
FREQ segment (lower) of CAL level meter turns off.
3. Adjust RV202 so that HIGH FREQ segment (upper) up to 0dB
position of CAL level meter turns on.
HIGH: Blinking of level “a” higher by 1 point is acceptable.
