General Description - Teac A-6100 Service Manual

1 . GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEAC A-6100/A-6300 is an excellent home entertainment stereo tape deck,
built to semi-professional standards with 3 motors, 4 heads, two (selectable)
meter scale ranges, and completely push-button controlled operation. Accepts
either 7" or 10-1/2" reels, and has tape speeds of 3-3/4 ips and 7-1/2 ips
(A-6300) or 7-1/2 ips and 15 ips (A-6100). Special features include switch-
selected Bias and Equalization; two Line Input and two Line Output jacks
per channel; facilities for (optional) remote/timer controlled operation;
and special features for the A-6100 such as 4-Track playback; MIC ATT; and
choice of 0.3 V or 0. 775 V "O VU" level at the OUTPUT jacks.
Although the A-6100/A-6300 internally appears to be similar to other TEAC
models (esp. A-4300), significant differences require consulting this manual
before any attempt to service the deck. This A-6100/A-6300 Service Manual/
Parts Manual contains adjustment and alignment information, part replacement
reference, and other information about obtaining new parts.
If adjustments or repair procedures are not sufficiently clear or seem too
difficult to accomplish, or for more detailed technical information, you may
contact the nearest TEAC Distributor, a TEAC affiliated subsidiary corporation,
or the TEAC Corporation. TEAC addresses are found at the back of this manual.
