CASSETTE
MECHANISM
CONFIRMATION
Make sure to confirm conditons
of
the cassette mechanism as
follows before adjustment.
1. Confirmation of
erase
prevention
function
• The switch should turn
ON
when a tape with erroneous erase
preventive pawl is inserted. (Use a tape which is 0.2mm
smaller than the minimum size of 62.9mm or a MAZ-0184-C
gauge one.)
• When the switch arm is moved back gradually from the ON
position, the switch should turn
OFF.
2. Confirmation
of
cassette
pack
detection function
• The switch should turn ON when a tape is inserted. (Use a
tape whose minimum size is 63.5mm or a MAZ-0184-C gauge
one.)
• When the switch arm is moved back gradually from the ON
position, the switch should turn
OFF.
3. Confirmation
of
eject function
• The cassette compartment opens smoothly and no abnormal
noise should be heard while opening and closing.
• The eject lock arm opens smoothly without contacting the
chassiS and damper.
• The eject button can not be pressed during playback.
4. Confirmation
of
playback,
fast
forward
and
rewind
functions
• The torque used in each of the playback, fast forward and
rewind modes should be within specification.
Playback .......................... 35gr.cm~70gr.cm
FastForward .................... 70gr.cm~160gr.cm
Rewind ............................. 70gr.cm~160gr.cm
• No abnormal noise should be heard during operation
in
any
mode. The solenoid switching sound should not be considered
as a noise.
5.
Confirmation
of
positions
of
record/playback
head
and
erase
head
• Head height
a) Setthe M-300 head gauge.
b)
Set the unit
in
the playback mode and place the adjustment
chip on the head gauge as shown
in
the Fig.
1.
c) The adjustment chip should not contact the tape guide
of
both record/playback head and erase head.

b) Set the unit in the playback mode and place the adjustment

c) With both record/playback head and erase head, the
adjustment chip should be between MIN and MAX of the M-
300 head gauge.

ELECTRICAL
ADJUSTMENT
AND
CONFIRMATION
1.
Before
adjustment
Fig. 2
• Before electrical adjustment, make sure that confirmations
of
the cassette mechanism are all completed.
After the power switch is pushed on, wait for 1
Ominutes before
measuring to be sure of the moststable operation.
• Since head magnetization, dust accumulations, etc. are likely
to introduce errors
in
the various characteristics, it is very
important that the heads are properly demagnetized and
cleaned before commencing any adjustment, particularly
frequency response and head azimuth adjustment.

Instruments required
Low frequency oscillator
•
AC
VTVM or dual channel AC VTVM
• Oscilloscope
• Wow/flutter meter
Frequency counter
• Distortion meter

• Tape speed adjustment ......................
MTT-111

or TCC-112
Playback output level adjustment ........... TCC-130 or MTT-150
• Playback frequency characteristic confirmation
.................................. TCC-1216 orTCC-162C and TCC-262C

Note:
C-90 differes with C-60
in
the thickness and bias is of unequal, so
adjust with the tape whose bias
in
of specified value.

otherwise
noted)

Output Level Maximum
Azimuth
Adjustment
When the maximum level point of R channel does not equal that L
channel, connect the oscilloscope as shown
in
Fig. 3 and proceed
with azimuth adjustment so that L and R channels are
in
phase.
a) Connect L channel tape out to "X (or V)" and R channel to "Y
(or H)". Observe the lissajouss waveform.
b) Set
Land
R channels to monaural. Adjust vertical and
horizontal gain so that the waveform becomes 45 degree.
c) Adjust azimuth so that the measurement
of
"a" becomes
maximum and the measurement of "b" becomes minimum
against the 45 degree line.
