Resetting the Microcomputer
The microcomputer may malfunction (unit cannot be operated, or shows an erroneous display)if the power cord is unplugged while the
power is ON, or due to some other external
factor. If this happens, execute the following
procedure to reset the microcomputer and return the unit to its normal operating condition.
Please note that resetting the microcomputer
will clear the contents of the memory and
return the unit to the state it was in when it
left the factory.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT
Lubrication
The mechanical parts are factory coated with a thin coat of light grease and should not require further
lubrication. If a light grease is applied, be careful not to get any grease on the play/record head or erase
head, hubs, pulleys, tapes reels, drive belts, or switches. Use a good lubricant such as Silicon Lube G322L
or Lubricate.
Service Check
Before aligning the mechanism, wipe off any accumulated dirt with denatured alcohol. Wipe around parts
where the tape contacts and around all rotating parts. Drive belts are specially processed. Do not clean
them with alcohol.
Mechanical Torque
Use a cassette type torque gauge and check the tape mechanism.
Take-up torque 35 to 70 g-cm
Rewind torque 50 g-cm min.
Fast forward torque 50 g-cm min.
Pinch Wheel Pressure
No adjustment to the pinch roller spring is necessary. It should be sufficient to give at least 40 g-cm pull
force.
Tape Head Servicing
Each time the unit is serviced, the face of all heads should be thoroughly cleaned with denatured alcohol or
commercial head cleaning solution. The playback head should be demagnetized with a commercial
demagnetizer. Accumulation of tape oxide during normal operations can cause problems, including loss of
high frequencies and wow and flutter.
Erase Head
The erase head is properly aligned when the tape rides directly between the tape guide on the head without
crinkling the tape.

Play/Record and Playback Head Azimuth Adjustment
To adjust the play/record and playback head azimuth screw:
1. Connect two (2) VTVMs and a dual trace scope to the stereo headphone jack (as shown) with a 32
ohm dummy load. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1. Azimuth Adjustment
2. Insert a 10 kHz test tape (Teac MTT-1141V or Equivalent) into the tape mechanism and play it back.
3. While playing back the test tape, slowly turn the azimuth adjusting screw until the amplitude of both
channel output waveforms is maximum and in phase. (See Figure 2.)
4. Secure the azimuth screw in place with glue or paint after making the adjustment.

Tape Speed Adjustment
1. Set the function switch to TAPE.
2. Connect a frequency counter with a 32 ohm dummy load to the stereo headphone jack. (See Figure 3.)

3. Insert and play back a 3 kHz test tape (Teac MTT-111 or Equivalent) into the tape mechanism.
4. Insert an insulated alignment tool and adjust the tape speed potentiometer (MOTOR) until the
frequency counter indicates 2940 Hz to 3090 Hz.
Bias Oscillator Frequency and Level Adjustment
1. Set the function switch to TAPE and the record and play tape mechanism to RECORD.
2. Connect a VTVM and frequency counter to test point R/P HEAD.
3. Adjust bias oscillator coil T360 until the frequency counter indicates 81 kHz ± 0.5 kHz.
4. Confirm the record head voltage equal to: 6-12V.
5. Confirm the erase head voltage equal to: 15-24V.
