ALIGNMENT

PROCEDURE

1.

Visually

make

the

tilt

adjustment

of

each

record

and

playback

head

based

on

nearest

tape

guide

pin.

2..

Make

coarse

azimuth

adjustments

of

the

record

and

playback

heads

by

viewing

each

head

from

in

front

(without

tape).

3.

Adjust

the

erase

head's

azimuth

as

seen

from

the

front

of

the

head.

Then

adjust

its

tilt

using

an

adjacent

tape

guide

for

re-

ference.

Do

this

for

both

forward

and

reverse

heads.

4.

Temporarily

adjust

the

height

of

both

erase

heads

visually

(with

no

tape

loaded)

so

that

the

tape

guide

on

the

erase

head

matches

the

neighboring

tape

guide

pin.

Note

that

unless

the

three

adjust-

ing

screws

are

turned

equally,

the

tilt

and

azimuth

adjustments

(step

3)

are

likely

to

be

disturbed.

5.

Thread

a

TEAC

YTT-8013

test

tape

(thickness

=

35

um).

With

the

tape

running

in

the

forward

direction,

fine-adjust

the

height

of

the

forward

erase

head

so

that

the

upper

edge

of

the

tape

is

just

in

contact

with

the

upper

edge

of

the

tape

guide,

F,

on

the

head.

The

lower

edge

of

the

tape

should

just

touch

the

lower

edge

of

the

tape

guide

(1).

See

Fig.

2-19.

6.

Check

that

the

forward

erase

head

core

protrudes

0.1

mm

above

the

moving

tape.

If

not,

adjust

its

azimuth,

and

recheck

its

tilt

and

height,

then

correct

tilt

and

height

if

necessary.

7.

Do

exactly

the

same

adjustment

(steps

5

and

6)

for

the

reverse

erase

head.

Substitute

reverse

play

mode

for

forward

play

mode.

8.

Check

that,

by

pulling

the

tape

away

from

the

head

assembly

then

setting

in

either

play

mode,

the

tape

guide

on

the

erase

head

has

about

1

mm

clearance

against

the

pinch

roller.

Do

this

for

both

the

left

and

right

sides.
