NOTES
As regards the resistors and capacitors, refer to the circuit
diagrams and the PCB ass'y drawings contained in this manual.
*
*
Parts marked with * require longer delivery time.
Resistor values are in ohms (k = 1,000 ohms, M = 1,000,000
ohms).
All capacitor values are in microfarads (p = picofarads).
A Parts marked with this sign are safety critical components.
They must always be replaced with identical components - refer
to the TEAC Parts List and ensure exact replacement.
0 dB is referenced to lV in this manual unless otherwise specifi-
ed.
PC boards shown viewed from foil side.
Parts not shown in the parts lists or parts, through listed, having

3. Stop left (right) inertia roller's rotation by hand.
Adjust by turning the left (right) tension arm height adjusting
screw (refer to Fig. 2-10) so that the tape moves in the center of
the inertia roller.
II0TE: When adjusting, pay special attention to the relationship
between position-detecting shutter and the opening of
photo-interrupter to prevent, for example, the shutter
from being caught.
4. Release the inertia roller. Fine_adjust the adjusting nut again
until there is no tape curling on the tape guide pin between the
erase head and the left (right) inertia roller.
5. After Adjusting the height of both left and right tension arms,
check that the tape running condition is good by switching be_
tween fast forward and rewind modes.
6. lf the tape running position is different when the inertia roiler
stops and when it turns, the conditon when the inertia roller is
rotating has priority.

0iling is needed after every 1.000 hours of operation or once a year
if the deck is infrequently used. For this purpose, TEAC spindle oil
(from TEAC TZ-255 oil kit). Mobil D.T.E. 0il Light, etc. are recom-
mended. Lubrication is normally not necessary except at the points
shown .
l. Place the deck in the horizontal position.
2. Apply a few drops of oil to therespectivespindlesshown,exclud-
ing capstans, then spread the oil evenly on the spindle surfaces
using a cotton cloth, etc.
3. For capstans, apply a few drops to the indicated position.
4. After oiling all the points, leave the deck for 1 to 2 hours until
the oil is thoroughly absorbed.

2.16 HEAD ALIGNMENT
There is no need for head height and tilt adiustments because the
record and playback heads of 3030 are a semi-fixed type (erase
head fully-fixed).
2-I6.I HEAD MOUt{TIttIG (BECOBD AND PLAYBACK HEADS)
1. Refer ro Fig.2-23.
2. With head mounting screws, mount heads to head mounting
plate. Attach shield case to the playback head.
3. Mount head as'y to head base using mounting screw and mount
tangency adjustment screw.
4. Mount azimuth adjustment screws.
2.I6.2 PTAYBACK HEAO AOJUSTMETTT
1. See Fig. 2-24 tor necessary connections.
2. Set the 0UTPUT switch to REPR0.
3. Run the test t3pe TEAC YTT-I003 in play mode to reproduce
the 400H2 signal on the tape.
4. Slightly loosen the mounting screws which hold playback head
in place and adjust the tangency using adiustment screws, for
maximum output. When the maximum output is attained,
retighten both mounting screws.
5. Play the l6kHz signal on the tape and adiust the azimuth of
the playback head using adjustment screws for les than 45"
of phase difference between the two channels (see Fig. 2-251.
I{OTE: Azimuth adjustment should be completed by turning
adjustment screws in tightening direction (clockwise).
6. Set the PLAYBACK HEAD wrritch to 4T and perform thesame
tangency and azimuth adjustment procedures to 4 Track play'
back head.
2-I6-3 RECORO HEAD ADJUSTMEIIT
Proceed to record head adjustment only after playback head
adjustment has been completed.
1. See Fig. 2-24 for necessary connections.
2. Set the 0UTPUT switch to REPB0.
3. Load the blank test tape AMPEX 456 and record a 400H2
-10dBV (316mV) signal in recording mode to reproduce it
simu ltaneously.
4. Adjust the tangency of the recording head as in step 4 under
paragraph 2-1 6-2.
5. Simultaneously record and reproduce a l kHz. -20dBV (100mV)
signal and adjust the azimuth of the recording head using adiust-
ment screws for less than 0o of phase difference between the
two channels (see Fig. 2-25).
tt0TES: oAzimuth adjustment should be completed by turning
' adiustment screws in tightening direction (clockwise).
rBe carefull not to confuse the bias signal (150kHz)
in measurement.
