models equipped with LP mode.]
(7) Then play back the alignment tape (A2).
(8) Press the channel buttons (+, –) simultaneously to enter
the manual tracking mode. This also brings tracking to
the center (centre).
(9) Perform the tracking operation and make sure that the
V.PB FM waveform is at its maximum.
(10) If it is not at maximum, loosen the screws (4) and (5),
and turn the A/C head positioning tool to bring the A/C
head to a position, around where the waveform reaches
its maximum for the first time. Then tighten the screws
(4) and (5).
Note:
• After adjusting, always perform the confirmation and
re-adjustment of the item 2.3.4.
(1) Play back the alignment tape (A).
(2) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe
the V.PB FM waveform at the measuring point (D).
(3) Confirm that the automatic tracking operation is com-
pleted.
(4) Set the VCR to the Auto adjust mode by transmitting the
code (F) twice from the Jig RCU. When the VCR enters
the stop mode, the adjustment is completed.
(5) If the VCR enters the eject mode, perform adjustment for
the audio control head phase (X-value) again.

Checking/Adjustment of the Tension Pole Position
(1) Play back the back tension cassette gauge (A).
(2) Check that the indicated value on the left side gauge is
within the specified value (G).
(3) If the indicated value is not within the specified value (G),
perform the adjustment in a following procedure.
1) Set the VCR to the mechanism service mode. (See
1.5 MECHANISM SERVICE MODE.)
2) Set the VCR to the play back mode and adjust by turn-
ing adjustment pin to align the tension arm assembly
edge with the main deck hole (A) on the right edge
marker. (See Fig. 2-3-5a)
