Tape Path Alignment

6-1-2. Precautions

. Perform the tape path adjustment in the 59.94 Hz mode.
Each tape path adjustment is not necessary except for the
59.94 Hz mode.
However, when the unit is usually used in each mode
except for the 59.94 Hz mode, it is recommended to
perform the tape path check in the mode.
. The mechanism of the tape path system is composed of
precision parts and adjusted precisely at shipment.
During adjustments, do not rotate screws other than
those specified.
Rotating screws other than those specified will disable
proper tape path adjustment and may result in abnormal
tape-running performance.
If screws that are not specified have been rotated acci-
dentally, replace the whole block with a new one.
. Before replacing and loading a cassette tape or alignment
tape with the cassette compartment removed, turn off the
power of this unit once.
When the unit has power applied to it and the reel motor
is rotating slowly, the cassette tape cannot be inserted
YES
properly.
