Adjust the height of the bias head by the height
adjustmentscrew (ref.fig. 1) until max. reading is
obtained
on both V.T.V.M.
Check that the tape runs
freely in the groove in front of the bias head and
that there is sufficientclearance between the bias
head and the mounting plate for the record head.
The height positionof the bias head is not critical,
and if the clearancebetween
the bias head and the
mounting plate for the record head is insufficient,
raise
the bias headslightly.

outputs,and connect a signal generatorto the Hl-
LEVELinputs CHI and CH2. Set the tape recorder
to stereo recordingal 71lzi.p.s.
and turn both play-

that the horizontal position is correctly adjusted,
tighten the adjustment screw making sure that
the head is not being moved. This is eventually
indicated
bya loss

A fine-adjustment
of the bias current is obtainedby
the pot.meters

Heightadjustment:
Theeraseheadis set in a preliminaryposition
where
approx. 0.25 mm (.01") of the ferrite core for the
upper track of the erase head is visible above the
tape.Insert
the test tape No.9 and recorda 1000
c/s
signal from the generatoron ch. 2 at maximum re-
cordinglevel.Dipthe tape in the Magna-See
solution
and check that the re-recorded
track lies in center
of the erasedtrack. Make sure that the erase head
doesnot eraseany partof the adjacenttracks.

Align the azimuth
positionof the erase head by the
azimuthadjustment
