Operate
the
distortion
analyzer
so that the
scope
displays the input to the distortion
analyzer.
Reduce
analyzer
sensitivity
until
no overload
occurs.
With
scope
in
NORMAL
TRIGGER
mode,
adjust
TRIGGER
LEVEL
until
sweep
barely
shuts
off.

As you
did with the
broadband
limiter
test
in
step
8,
alternately
connect and
remove
the hot
lead
from
the oscillator,
while observing
the
scope
as
it
triggers
on
the
overshoot from the
high-frequency
limiter.
Adjust
P209
(high-frequency FET
bias)
until
the
scope
displays a single-shot pattern
like

for
1

Connect
the distortion
analyzer
to fork terminal
^5
(and
readjust
the oscilloscope
triggering so that the
distortion signal
can
be
viewed).
Measure
the har-
monic
distortion.
Reduce
the
level
of the oscillator
until
the
distortion
is
maximum.
Adjust
P208
(right
h.
f.
distortion null) to
minimize
THD.

Connect
the oscillator to
the
LEFT
AUDIO
INPUT
and
repeat
step 14,
connecting
the
distortion
ana-
lyzer
to
the
left
channel

limiter
output (termi-

and
adjusting
P207
(left

for
minimum
distortion.
This
concludes the alignment procedure.
