DECK  SECTION
1. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head
demagnetizer.
2. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
3. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the
parts adjust.
4. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
5. The adjustments should be performed in the order given in
this service manual.  (As a general rule, playback circuit ad-
justment should be completed before performing recording
circuit adjustment.)
6. The adjustments should be performed for both L-CH and R-
CH.
7. Switches and controls should be set as follows unless other-
wise specified.
8. Please refer to “SERVICING NOTES” (page 3) before adjust-
ments.
