2 ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS
2-1 MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT
2-1-1 Wow and flutter (playback method)
In both FWD and REV play modes, these measurements should
be made at the beginning, middle, and the end of the tape.
1. Connect a wow-and-flutter meter to the LINE OUT.
2. Load and play a TEAC MTT-111N test tape.
3. Check that the readings on the wow-and-flutter meter is
within 0.19% (JIS WTD).
2-1-2 Tape speed
1. Connect a frequency counter to the LINE OUT.
2. Load a TEAC MTT-111N test tape and play in FWD
direction the beginning of the test tape.
3. Adjust each variable resistor to get the following values.
4. In play mode, check that the following values are obtained at
the beginning and end of the tape.
Speed drifting: Within 120Hz (HIGH speed)
Within 60Hz (LOW speed)
2-1-3 Reel torque
1. Load the cassette torque meter on the deck and read the
pointer indication on the dial scale for each tape transport
operation. The measured torque should be within the
following specified values.
Take-up: 30 to 70g cm
Supply: 1.5 to 6g-cm
FF/REW: 70 to 150g-cm
Torque meter
MTT-8111W: Forward torque & back tension
MTT-8121W: Reverse torque & back tension
MTT-8242: Fast forward & rewind static torque

2-2 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
2-2-1 Precautions
Before performing adjustments and checks clean and
demagnetize the entire tape path.
In general, adjustments and checks are made in the order of
Lch then Rch. Double REF. Nos. indicate Lch/Rch.
(Example; R11/R21)
0dB is referenced to 0.775V.
The AC voltmeter used in the procedures must have an input
impedance of 1M
or more.
Unless specified otherwise, adjustments and checks are made
in FWD direction.
