7.1 FM/AM IF ALIGNMENT
O FM SECTION
a) Connect a 0.01pF capacitor between TP1
and ground before the alignment.
b) Connect a ZZOkdL resistor in series with the
vertical input terminal of the oscilloscope.
c) Remove. the meter lead from terminal 18,
then terminate a 4.7kQ resistor between
terminal 18 and ground.
d) Connect the vertical input to terminal 18.
e) Set the selector switch to FM MONO.
f) Connect the output lead of the sweep
generator to the FM antenna terminals.
g) Set the output level of the sweep generator
to 90dts.
h) Adjust the primary and secondary cores of
T6 to obtain a symmetrical pattern.
i) Set the output level of the sweep generator
to 70d8.
j) Adjust the cores of T4 and T5 for maxi-
mum gain and symmetry of the pattern.
k) Vary the output level of the s$/eep ger a-
tor from 60dB to 100dB, then keep the top
of the pattern flat and make sure that the
center frequency does not drift. If it drifts,
repeat steps (g) to (j).
l) Remove the capacitor (4.71tF) from ter-
minal 28.
m) Disconnect the vertical input from terminal
18, then reconnect it to TP1.
n) Set the output level of the sweep generator
to 7OdB.
o) Observe the S-curve pattern when adjusting
the cores of T7. (Linearity is improved by
the primary core; symmetry by the second-
ary core.)
p) Disconnect the 0.01trtF capacitor from TPl
after the alignment has been completed.
q) Connect the capacitor (4.7trtF) to terminal
28 after the alignment has been eompleted.
. AM SECTION
a) Turn the selector switch to AM.
b) Connect the output lead of the sweep
generator to the AM antenna terminal.
c) Connect the vertical input of the oscillo-
scope to the TAPE REC jack.
d) Set the output level of the sweep generator
to 75d8.
e) Adjust the IFT cores (T9, T10, T11) as
shown in Fig. 1, for maximum gain and
symmetrical pattern.
7.2 FM/AM TACKING
ALIGNMENT
. FM SECTION
a) Turn the selector switch to FM MONO.
b) Connect the output leads of the FM signal
generator to the FM antenna terminals.
c) Set the FM signal generator to modulation
4O0Hz, 30Vo and output level 15dB fre-
quency 90MHz; also set the receiver dial at
9OMHz.
d) Conneet the VTVM and oscilloscope (in
parallel) to the TAPE REC jack.
e) Observing the output level on the VTVM,
adjust the following cores for maximum
reading on the meter.
Tg .. Oscillatorcircuit
T1 ... Antennacircuit
T2 .. RFcircuit
f) Set the frequency of the FM signal gene-
rator and the receiver dial to 106MHz.
g) Adjust as follows:
Trimmer capacitor CT3: Oscillator circuit
Trimmer capacitor CTl . . Antenna circuit
Trimmer capacitor CTz . RF circuit
h) Repeat steps (e) to (g) several times.
i) Set the output level of the FM signal
generator to maximum signal meter deflec-
tion.
j) Adjust the primary core of T7 for mini-
mum sound distortion.
