Bias Consumption Current Adjustment DECK B
This adjustment should be performed when replacing the head assy
or the bias oscillator transformer (T131, T231).
Procedure:
1. Connect the digital voltmeter to test point TP431.
2. Set RV131 (L-CH), RV231 (R-CH) to mechanical center.
3. Set to FWD record mode.
4. Adjust T131 (L-CH), T231 (R-CH) so that the digital voltmeter
reading becomes minimum.
Adjustment Value: Maximum 220 mV
Adjustment Location: MAIN board (See page 13.)
