Press the tracking button (+), (–) and change the
ATR signal waveform from max to min and from min
to max. At this time make sure that the ATR signal
waveform changes nearly parallel.
6
Unless the ATR signal waveform changes nearly
parallel, adjust the height of supply side and take-up
side guide roller so that the envelope waveform
changes nearly parallel. (For ATR signal adjustment
procedure refer to Figure 4-30.)
7
Turn the tilt screw to remove the tape crease at the
fixing guide flange.
Playback the tape and check for tape crease at the
fixing guide flange.
(1) If there is no tape crease
Turn the tilt screw clockwise so that tape crease
appears once at the flange, and then return the tilt
screw so that the crease disappears.
(2) If there is tape crease
Turn counterclockwise the tilt screw so that the
tape crease disappears.
(Reference) If the tilt screw is turned clockwise
