5-2. Confirm that the Tape passes smoothly
between the Take-up Guide and Pinch
Roller(using a Mirror or the naked eye).
1)
Afetr completing Step 5-1.(Preliminary Adjustment),
check that the Tape passes around the Take-up Guide
and Pinch Roller without Folding or Curling at the Top or
Bottom.
(1) If Folding or Curling is observed at the Bottom of
the Take-up Guide then slowly turn the Tilt
Adjustment Screw(C) in the Clockwise directioin.
(2) If Folding or Curling is observed at the Top of it then
slowly turn the Tilt Adjustment Screw(C) in the
Counterclockwise direction.
Check the RF Envelope after adjusting the A/C Head, if
the RF Waveform differs from Fig. C-5-4, performs
Precise Adjustment to flat the RF Waveform.

Adjustment Procedure
1) Insert the alignment tape, and press the + or - manual
tracking (channel) button once while "AUTO TRACKING"
is flashing on the screen to release auto tracking, and then
center the tracking.
2) Run the tape long enough for tracking to complete one
cycle.
3) Loosen the fixing screw, and move the A/C head base
assembly in the direction shown in the diagram, to find the
center of the peak so that the maximum envelope is avail-
able.
With this method, the 31-µm head can trace on the center
of 58-µm track.
4) Tighten the A/C head base assembly fixing screw.
