2.5.2 Height and tilt of the A/C head

Note:

•Set a temporary level of the height of the A/C head in advance to make the adjustment easier after the A/C head has been replaced. (See Fig.2-2-4c.)

External trigger	(E)	• TP111 (D.FF)
Adjustment part	(F)	• A/C head [Mechanism assembly]
Specified value	(G)	• Maximum waveform

(1)Play back the alignment tape (A).

(2)Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe the AUDIO OUT waveform and Control pulse waveform at the measuring points (D1) and (D2) in the ALT mode.

(3)Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode.

(4)Adjust the AUDIO OUT waveform and Control pulse waveform by turning the screws (1), (2) and (3) little by little until both waveforms reach maximum. The screw (1) and (3) are for adjustment of tilt and the screw (2) for azi- muth.

Adjustment part	(F)	• A/C head base [Mechanism assembly]
Specified value	(G)	• Maximum V.PB FM waveform
Adjustment tool	(H)	• A/C head positioning tool [PTU94010]

(1)Play back the alignment tape (A1).

(2)Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe the V.PB FM waveform at the measuring point (D).

(3)Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode.

(4)Loosen the screws (4) and (5), then set the A/C head positioning tool to the projected part in front of the A/C head. (See Fig. 2-5-3a.)

(5)Turn the A/C head positioning tool fully toward the cap- stan. Then turn it back gradually toward the drum and stop on the first peak point position of the V.PB FM wave- form output level. Then tighten the screws (4) and (5).

(6)Perform the tracking operation and make sure that the V.PB FM waveform is at its maximum.

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).
