General notes
The magnetic head and all ferrous components which come into contact
with the tape must be magnetized.
Readjustment must be carried out in the sequence stated.
The L 101 and L 101 multiplex filters are set precisely at the factory
and must not be readjusted.
Playback
Magnetic head adjustment
Remove the screws 11 on the front trimplate. Remove the cassette com-
partment frame by pressing it in at the side, insert the test cassette (sec-
tion determined for gap adjustment) 10 kHz —20 dB.
Connect the millivoltmeters to outputs L and R (cinch connectors ). If
only one millivoltmeter is available, switch the outputs in parallel.
Fe,
Using the adjustment screw to the left of the magnetic head, adjust for
maximum voltage.
After alignment, lock the adjusting screw in position using locking com-
pound.
Note:
lt the outputs are arranged in parallel, secondary peaks will occur. In this
case, adjust for the main peak.
The difference between channel Land channel R at 10 kHz <3 dB.
Playback level
Insert test cassette, 400 Hz Dolby level
Fe, Dolby: On, MPX: Off,
In each case, set 580 mV ± 0.25 dB
for track 1 using VR 103 at cinch output L
for track 2 using VR 103' at cinch output R
Playback frequency
Insert test cassette, 400 Hz —20 dB, 10 kHz — 20 dB
Fe, (Dolby: Off, MPX: Off)
Both level components of the test cassette should have the same output
voltage at outputs Land R. If a voltage rise is determined in the case of
the 10 kHz — 20 dB level in relation to the 400 Hz —20 dB level ,connec-
tions J 1 and J 2 or J 1' and J 2' must be disconnected.
If the 10 kHz — 20 dB level is lower than the 400 Hz — 20 dB level,
connections J 1 and J 2 or J 1' and J 2' must be connected.
The output voltage at outputs L and R must be between +4 and — 3 dB
at 10 kHz, referred to the 400 Hz — 20 dB level (corresponds to reference
point 0 dB).
VU meter
Fe, record, Dolby: On
Connect the AF oscillator to the input and the mill ivoltmeter (AC)
to the output. Set modulation controls VR 101 and VR 101' to fully
clockwise position.
Set the AF oscillator to 400 Hz and adjust the input signal at the cas-
sette deck in order to obtain a reading of 580 mV at outputs Land R.
Using VR 104 and VR 104' respectively, set the VU meter left channel
and the VU meter right channel to +3 dB modulation.
Background noise
Screen the amplifier and ensure that the magnetic head is free of hum.
Fe, pause,
Background noise at outputs Land R 3 mV maximum measured with a
20 Hz filter (e. g. Sennheiser FO 55, curve 220 Hz — 3 dB) with rms
rectification of meter.
HF generator
Met, record, I>
Connect the frequency counter between test point D and ground and then
adjust the core of the oscillator coi I (I_ 301) to obtain a reading of 105 kHz.
Connect the millivoltmeter (AC) to test point D and ground. The vol-
tage drop at R 301 should be greater than 150 mV.
HF wave traps
Connect the millivoltmeter (AC) or oscilloscope to R 143 (left channel)
or R 143' (right channel) and, using coil L 103 or L 103',set to minimum
HF voltage.
HF magnetic bias
Insert test cassette, Cr reference medium section,
Cr, record,
A millivoltmeter (AC) may be connected between test point E lieft chan-
nel) or E' (right channel) and ground for basicadjustment. Using VR 105
or VR 105', set a voltage of 70 mV.
Depending upon the setting of the tape selector switch, the following
voltages will result:
Fe Approx.
Cr
FeCr Approx.
Met
Tolerance ± 0.5 dB
42 mV = — 4.5 dB
70 mV = 5 dB
53 mV
— 2.5 dB
111 mV = + 4 dB
Precise alignment must be performed as follows:
Record 400 Hz and 10 kHz with 25 dB (VU meter) (with Cr reference
medium section). Compare the levels during playback. If the level of both
frequencies is not uniform, correct HF bias.
Track 1 ( left channel) is adjusted using VR 105 and
Track 2 (right channel) using VR 105'.
Decreased HF = treble emphasis.
Increased HF = treble de-emphasis.
Insert test cassette, Fe reference medium section (BASF super LH, C 60)
Fe, record,
Record 400 Hz and 10 kHz with — 20 dB (VU meter). If a voltage rise
of the 10 kHz level in relation to the 400 Hz level is determined during
playback, connect J 7. Otherwise, i. e. in the case of a voltage drop, dis-
connect resistor R 308.
Insert test cassette, metal reference medium section (Scotch Metafine
C 46)
MET, record,
Record 400 Hz and 10 kHz with — 25 dB (VU meter). Compare the le-
vels during playback. If a voltage rise of the 10 kHz level in relation to
the 400 Hz level is determined, connect J 8. Otherwiese, disconnect R
314.
Record level
Insert test cassette, Cr reference medium section
Cr, record, Dolby: On,
Record 400 Hz with 0 dB (VU meter) and then check the playback level
at the VU meters.
Using VR 102 (VU meter left) and VR 102' )VU meter right), adjust the
recording current so that the playback level = record level. (Approxima-
tely 410 mV should be measured at cinch outputs Land R).
Insert test cassette, Fe reference medium section
Fe, record, Dolby: On,
Record 400 Hz with 0 dB (VU meter) and then check the playback
level at the VU meters. lt the playback level is higher, connect J 3
IR 132) and J 3' (132'). lt the output level is lower, disconnect resistor
R 134 or R 134'.
FeCr,
Insert cassette (e. g. Sony, ferrichrome)
FeCr, record, Dolby: On,
Record 400 Hz with 0 dB (VU meter) and then check the playback
level at the VU meters. If the payback level is higher,connectJ 4 or J 4'.
If the output level is lower, disconnect R 131 or R 131'.
Insert MET cassette ( e.g. Scotch Metafine)
MET, record, Dolby: On,
Record 400 Hz with 0 dB (VU meter) and then check the playback
level at the VU meters. lt the Playback level is higher, connect J 5 or
J 5'. lt the output level is lower, disconnect R 127 or R 127'.
Overall frequency response
The overall frequency response for all types of tape must lie within the
specified tolerances in accordance with DIN 45 500, Sheet 4. Recording
is carried out at a level of approximately —26 dB as indicated on the
VU meters.
