Information for using a Car Audio Service Jig
1. For 1995 and 1996 , we're advancing efforts to make our extension cords common for all car audio products.
Please use this type of extension cord as follows.
2. As a U-shape type top cover is employed, this type of extension cord is needed to check operation of the
mechanism assembly after disassembly.
3. Extension cord : EXTKSRT002-6P ( 6 pin extension cord ) For connection between mechanism assembly
and main board assembly .
Check for mechanism driving section such as motor ,etc..
Disassembly Method
1. Remove the bottom cover.
2. Remove the front panel assembly.
3. Remove the top cover .
4. Install the front panel.
5. Confirm that current is being carried by connecting
an extension cord jig.
Note
Available to connect to the CN701 connector when installing the front panel.

1.Head azimuth
"Head Height Adjustment"
Note
Adjust the azimuth directly.When you adjust the height using a mirror tape, remove the cassette housing from the
mechanism chassis.
After installing the cassette housing, perform the azimuth
adjustment.
Load the mirror tape (SCC-1659). Adjust with height
1.
adjustment screw(a) and azimuth adjustment screw(b) so
that the "A" of the mirror tape runs in the center between
Lch and Rch in the reverse play mode.
2.
After switching from REV to FWD then to REV,check that
the head position set in procedure "1" is not changed.
*If the position has shifted, adjust again and check.
3.
Adjust the azimuth screw (b) so that line "B" of the mirror
tape runs in the center between Lch and Rch in the
forword play mode.
"Head azimuth adjustment"
1.
Load the test tape (VT724: 1kHz) and play it back in the
reverse play mode. set the Rch output level to maximum.
2..
Load the test tape (VT703:10kHz) and play it back in the
forward play mode. Adjust the Rch and Lch output levels
to maximum, with azimuth adjustment acrew(b).
In this case, the phase difference should be within 45 .
Engage the reverse mode and adjust the output level to
3.
maximum, with azimuth adjustment screw (c).
*The phase difference should be 45_Kor more.
When switching between forward and reverse modes, the
4.
difference between channels should be within 3dB.
*Between FWD Lch and Rch REV Lcj and Rch.
When the test tape (VT721 : 315Hz) is played back, the
5.
level difference between channels should be within 1.5dB.

1.Play the test tape (VT724 : 1kHz) back and set the volume
position at 2V.
2.Play the test tape (VT739)back and confirm 0 3dB at 1kHz/
8kHz and -4+2dB at 1kHz/125Hz.
3.When 8kHz is out of specification, it will be necessary to read
adjust the azimuth.
