Next, press the tracking button (+), (–) and change
the ATR signal waveform from max to min and from
min to max. At this time adjust the height of supply
and take-up side guide roller with the adjustment
driver (JiGDRiVERH-4) so that the ATR signal wave-
form changes nearly parallel.

If the tape is lifted or sunk from the helical lead
surface, the PB ATR signal waveform appears as
shown in Figure 4-30.
5
Press the tracking button (+), (–) and make sure that
the ATR signal waveform changes nearly parallel.

Finally, check tape crease near the reverse guide. If
tape crease is found, adjust tilt screw 45˚ counter
clockwise. Small tape crcase will appear at retain
guide after this adjustment finished.
3
Move the A/C head with the X value adjustment gear
driver by the method shown in Figure 4-33, and
adjust the A/C head so as to get the maximum ATR
signal waveform. (Note: At this time adjust so as to
get the maximum ATR signal waveform nearest the
A/C head position which has been set in case of X
value rough adjustment as stated in 4-17, 3-
2
.)
4
Adjust the playback switching point (Refer to the
electric adjustment method.)
5
Playback the self-picture-recorded tape, and check
the flatness of ATR signal waveform and sound.
Notes:
When the A/C head X value adjustment is performed, be
sure to perform at first X value rough adjustment (refer to 4-
17, 3-
2
).

Playback the alignment tape (VROCPSV), and
shortcircuit between TP801 and TP802. As a result
the auto-tracking is automatically cancelled, so that
the X value adjustment mode is set.
