Supply output from the Audio Signal Generator to
the various

terminals
of Model
AS-8100. Connect a dummy load resistor equip-
ped with

switch
to the various
speaker output terminals as shown in Fig. 20 and
connect this output terminal to the Oscilloscope
input terminal.
Turn EPC Operating Point Adjustment Semi-Fixed
Resistor VR-1 (1 KB) fully clockwise.
Set Mode
Selector
Switch to "Stereo" and set
dummy load resistor switch to 8Q position. Adjust
volume control to obtain an undistorted oscillo-
scope waveform of maximum value.
At this condition, set dummy. load resistor switch
to "2.7Q"
position
and
turn
operating point
adjustment semi-fixed resistor VR-1 counter-clock-
wise to the point at which the output waveform is
erased and from this point, turn clockwise again
about 20° from erased point. With a 2.7Q dummy
ioad resistor, the waveform will appear as shown in
Fig. 21.
Set Mode Switch to "Surround" and manipulate
Surround Balance Shift to check whether or not
EPC
functions.
If EPC
functioned
during this
check, turn EPC operating point adjustment semi-
- fixed resistor slightly further clockwise.

In the check outlined in item 5), if EPC did not
function, try shorting the various speaker output
terminals. Check to confirm that no matter which
terminal is shorted, EPC functions. When making
this check, even if a single waveform is not erased,
turn EPC operating point adjustment semi-fixed
resistor slightly further clockwise.
When EPC functions regardless of which speaker
output
terminal
is shorted, EPC
adjustment
is
perfect.
