TUNING
Most guitar players tune their guitar by themselves as they like.
Do not adjust tunings of a customer’s guitar at usual repairs, because the tunings may be re-adjusted by a
customer. Only after replacing the neck, the bridge or the pickup, adjust a certain tuning item shown in the
following table.
Tools/Equipments required
4 mm hexagon key (Accessory tool)
1.5 mm hexagon key (Accessory tool)
Guitar tuning meter
TUNING PROCEDURE
Please refer to the tuning instructions in the operation namual also.
To adjust warp of neck
1. Check the space between a string and the 10th fret when pressing the string at the 1st fret and at the 19th
fret.
And check all strings.
2. If the space exceeds 0.3 mm, straighten the neck by turning the nut in the head clockwise with a 4 mm
hexagon key.
To adjust pickup height
1. Press a string at 22nd fret.
2. Use a screw driver, adjust a height of the pickup to be 2 mm off from the string by turning two screws at both
ends of the pickup.
To adjust string height
1. Use a 1.5 mm hexagon key, adjust a height of the 1st string to be 2 mm above the 14th fret by turning two
hexagon socket screws at the 1st saddle in the bridge.
2. Adjust height of other strings by the same way.
To adjust octave pitch
1. Use a guitar tuning meter, tune the 1st string at open string to the standard pitch.
2. Use a guitar tuning meter, compare pitch of two tones, a tone at the 12th fret with a harmonic*.
3. If pitch of the tone at the 12th fret is sharper over 3 cents than pitch of the harmonic tone, turn the adjustment
screw clockwise.
4. If pitch of the tone at the 12th fret is flatter over 3 cents than pitch of the harmonic tone, turn the adjustment
screw counterclockwise.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the differnce of pitch between two tones is within 3 cents.
6. Adjust octave pitch of other strings.
* Harmonic: An overtone produced by touching a string above the 12th fret with a finger and by picking the
string just before freeing the string.

ADJUSTMENT
Equipments required
Oscilloscope
Frequency counter
Test tapes, MTT-111N (0004 5032) and MTT-113N (0004 5033)
Two 8-ohm resistors
Pre-adjustment procedure
1. Clean the head and all tape handling surfaces using standard cleaner and cotton swabs.
2. Connect an 8-ohm dummy load to headphone jack of each channel.
3. Set the main volume to the maximum.
4. Set the tape speed volume to the center position.
Head azimuth adjustment
Never use a magnetized screwdriver for this adjustment.
The head azimuth adjustment screw is located just under the notch which can be seen when opening the
cassette door.
1. Connect a oscilloscope to the dummy loads.
2. Set a tape MTT-113N holding the door open, and playback the tape.
3. By turning the adjustment screw slowly, adjust for amplitude of both channels at maximum and adjust for
the waveforms in the same phase reading on the oscilloscope.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Pickup
The pickup is a humbacking pickup, which consists of the two coils connected in series opposition. Each coil
has the same turns but it has the opposite polarity of the core to the other one.
Hum Cancel Circuit
By adding two outputs from the pickup, the hum cancel circuit removes a hum noise, it also doubles amplitude
of the signal.
Distortion Circuit
The distortion circuit adds a distortion effect to the original signal from the pickup. The circuit cuts off peak of
the waveform, it also produces a sound signal like a howling sound.
Head Amp. (TA8142AP)
The internal block diagram is shown in Figure 5.
