ADJUSTMENT OF TAPE DRIVE TRAIN
1. Tape run rough adjustment
1 Remove the cassette housing control assembly.
2 After shortcircuiting TP7701 (J301) and TP7702
(J302) provided at the left on the main PWB, plug
in the power cord, then turn on the power.
3 Check and adjust the position of the tension pole.
(See page 33.)
4 Check and adjust the video search rewind back
tension. (See page 33.)
5 Connect the oscilloscope to the test point for PB
CHROMA envelope output (TP3301). Set the
synchronism of the oscilloscope to EXT. The PB
CHROMA signal is to be triggered by the head
switching pulse (TP3302).
6 After turnning off the power, set the alignment
tape (VROCPSV) then turn on the power and
playback the tape. (Put a 500g weight on the
cassette tape to prevent lift of cassette tape.)

7 Press the tracking button (+), (–) and change the
envelope waveform from max to min and from min
to max. At this time make sure that the envelope
waveform changes nearly parallel.
8 Unless the envelope waveform changes nearly
parallel, adjust the height of supply side and take-
up side guide roller so that the envelope wave-
form changes nearly parallel. (For envelop ad-
justment procedure refer to Figure 1-35.)
9 Turn the tilt screw to remove the tape crease at
the fixing guide flange.
Play back the tape and check for tape crease at
the fixing guide flange.
(1) If there is no tape crease
Turn the tilt screw clockwise so that tape
crease appears once at the flange, and then
return the tilt screw so that the crease disap-
pears.
(2) If there is tape crease
Turn counterclockwise the tilt screw so that
the tape crease disappears.
(Reference) If the tilt screw is turned clockwise
crease appears at the lower flange.
Notes:
1. Previously set the tracking control in the center posi-
tion, and adjust the envelop waveform to maximum
with X value adjustment nut. Thereby the tape run
rough adjustment is facilitated.
2. Especially the outlet side envelope waveform must
have higher flatness.
2. Adjustment of A/C head height and azimuth

After shortcircuiting TP7701 (J301) and TP7702
(J302), plug in the power cord, turn off the power,
set the alignment tape (VROCPSV), turn on the
power and then playback the tape. As a result the
auto-tracking is automatically cancelled, so that
the X value adjustment mode is set.
Move the A/C head with the X value adjustment
gear driver (JiGDRiVER-6) by the method shown
in Figure 1-33, and adjust the A/C head so as to
get the maximum envelope waveform. (Note:
When the A/C head is adjusted, adjust so that the
maximum envelop waveform is obtained nearest
the position of initial setting made in Page 37.)

At this time adjust the height of supply and take-
up side guide roller with the adjustment driver
(JiGDRiVERH-4) so that the envelope waveform
changes nearly parallel.
