Fig. 5 Pinch Roller Pressure Measurement 2, PINCH ROLLER PRESSURE MEASUREMENT (Refer to Fig. 5) At playback mode, push the pinch roller with a spring gauge until the pinch roller separates from the capstan by, about 1 mm to 2 mm and then gently return. Take a reading of the spring gauge indication at the moment the pinch roller touches the capstan and begins to rotate. Specified Pinch Roller Pressure: 400350 grm In case specified pressure cannot be attained, replace the pinch roller spring. 3. TAKE-UP TORQUE AT VARIOUS MODES.

TAPE GUIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 9) 1) When using an ordinary cassette, the tape guides and heads, etc. are not visible. As shown in Fig, 9 use a cassette tape from which part of the cassette case has been cut out and a mirror installed for easy visibility of the head area when making tape guide height adjustment. 2) At playback mode, adjust tape guide A and tape guide B height with tape guide height adjustment nuts so that the tape runs smoothly and does not catch on the tap guides. 2. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF RECORDING/PLAYBACK COMBI- NATION HEAD (Refer to Fig.7) 1) Utilize the cassette tape used in Tape Guide Height Adjustment above, and playback the leader tape part of cassette tape 2) As shown in Fig. 7 adjustment head height with screws (A), (B) and (C) until the upper edge of the left channel REC/PB Combination head 3. AZIMUTH ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT OF RECORDING/PLAYBACK COMBI- NATION HEAD (Refer to Fig. 7) 1) The cores of recording and playback heads are mounted in a single head holder to form the recording/playbeck combination head other- wise known as the New GX Head. Both record- ing and playback head cores move when azimuth alignment is adjusted. To. obtain optimum playback head core azimuth align ment, follow the instructions 2) — 5) care- fully. 2) Playback © 10 kHz azimuth alignment adjust. iment test tape and adjust the adjustment screw (A) until the output level of both channels are at maximum. 3) Invert~cassette .and_see whether there is an outpit level difference from the above. If there isa difference, repeat 2) and readjust. 4) Record a 10 kHz, -20 VU signal from the audio frequency oscillator. 5) Rewind and check for any fluctuation in the output level at playback 4. ADJUSTMENT OF THE RECORDING/ PLAYBACK COMBINATION HEAD. PROJECTION (Refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8) This adjustment is unnecessary unless the head base is moved on purpose as in the case of head replacements, ete 1) Fix the head base with screws (D) (E) and (F), In doing 50, the center of the shaft should be placed at points (a) of head base holes (4) and (6) as shown in Fig. 8. Conduct adjustments 2 and 3 above 2) Record a 10 kHz, -20 VU signal from the audio frequency oscillator 3) Rewind and check for level fluctuation-at play- back. 4) Measure the wow and fluter characteristics and confirm that it is less than 0.06% (WRMS), 5) If there is a level fluctuation, the projection of the recording/ playback combination head is too shallow and the head base must be moved -vstitly toward “” in Fig. 8. If the Wow and flutter characteristics are poor, the recordinglplayback combination head projection is too deep and the head base rmist be moved slightly toward “c”. Repeat 2) ~4) above until optimum position is obtained NOTES: 1, Be sure to clean the heads prior to head adjust-___— ment. 2. Be careful not to use a magnetized driver or other magnetized tools in the vicinity of the heads. 3. Be sure to demagnetize the heads with 2 Head Demagnetizer before and after head adjustment. 4, When a mirror installed cassette test tape as shown in Fig, 9 is required, it can be ordered from AKAL Electric Co. 5. The position where spring (A) meets the tape guide base is adjusted at the place of manufacture and readjustment is unnecessary.VL.
