b. ACE HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT
1) Playback a blank tape and observe the position of the tape at the lower flange of tape guide.
2) Confirm that there is no curl or wrinkle at the lower flange of tape guide as shown in Fig. 5-9 (B).
3) If a curl or wrinkle of the tape occurs, slightly turn the screw (A) tilt adjust on the ACE head ass’y.
4) Reconfirm the ACE head height.

c. AUDIO AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT
1) Load alignment tape (Mono scope) and playback the 6KHz signal.
2) Connect channel-1 scope probe to audio output.
3) Adjust screw (B) to achieve maximum audio level. (See Fig. 5-7)

d. ACE HEAD POSITION (X-POINT) ADJUSTMENT
1) Playback the alignment tape (Color bar)
2) Press the “SW702” button on Main PCB to set the adjustment mode. (See Fig. 5-2)
3) Press the “0, 5” remote control buttons, then adjustment is operates automatically. (See Fig. 5-1)
4) Connect the CH-1 probe to “Envelope” the CH-2 probe to “H’D switching pulse” and then trigger to CH-1.
5) Insert the (-) driver into the X-Point adjustment hole and adjust it so that envelope waveform is maximum.

(2) Linearity adjustment (Guide roller S, T adjustment)
1) Playback the Mono Scope alignment tape (SP mode).
2) Observe the video envelope signal on an oscilloscope (triggered by the video switching pulse).
3) Make sure the video envelope waveform (at its minimum) meets the specification shown in Fig. 5-11.
2) Observe the video envelope signal on an oscilloscope (triggered by the video switching pulse).
3) Make sure the video envelope waveform (at its minimum) meets the specification shown in Fig. 5-11.
If it does not, adjust as follows :
Note:
a=Maximum output of the video RF envelope.
b=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the entrance side.
c=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the center point.
d=Maximum output of the video RF envelope at the exit side.
b=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the entrance side.
c=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the center point.
d=Maximum output of the video RF envelope at the exit side.
4) If the section A in Fig. 5-12 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller S up or down.
5) If the section B in Fig. 5-12 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller T up or down.
5) If the section B in Fig. 5-12 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller T up or down.

(3) Check Transitional Operation from RPS to Play
Check transition from RPS mode to play mode : Using a pre-recorded SP tape, make sure the entry side of envelope comes to an appropriate
steady state within 3 seconds (as shown in Fig. 5-14).
If the envelope waveform does not reach specified peak-to peak amplitude within 3 seconds, adjust as follows :
steady state within 3 seconds (as shown in Fig. 5-14).
If the envelope waveform does not reach specified peak-to peak amplitude within 3 seconds, adjust as follows :
1) Make sure there is no gap between the supply roller lower flange and the tape.
If there is a gap, adjust the supply guide roller again.
2) Change operation mode from the RPS to the play mode (again) and make sure the entry side of envelope rises within 3 second.
If there is a gap, adjust the supply guide roller again.
2) Change operation mode from the RPS to the play mode (again) and make sure the entry side of envelope rises within 3 second.
