ADJUSTMENTS
1. Before adjustment
Since head magnetization, dust accumulations, etc.
are likely to introduce error in the various character-
istics, it is very important that the heads are properly
demagnetized and cleaned.
Make adjustments of mechanical system, playback
system and recording system in that order.
Except for azimuth adjustment, adjust in the forward
direction.
Adjust at TAPE TEST MODE.
