ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES OF MECHANISM
The following procedures describe how to align the individual gears and levers that
make up the tape loading/unloading mechanism. Since information about the state of
the mechanism is provided to the System Control Circuit only through the Mode
Switch, it is essential that the correct relationship between individual gears and levers
All alignments are to be performed with the mechanism in Eject mode

To do these alignment procedures, make sure that the Tracking Control Circuit is
set to the center position every time a tape is loaded or unloaded. (Refer to
Dual Trace OscilloscopeVHS Alignment Tape (VFMS0001H6)Guide Roller Adj.
ScrewdriverX-Value Adj. Screwdriver
Before starting this Mechanical Alignment, do all Electrical Adjustment procedures.
Preliminary/Final Checking and Alignment of Tape Path
To make sure that the tape path is well stabilized.
If the tape path is unstable, the tape will be damaged.
Do not use an Alignment Tape for this procedure. If the unit is not correctly
aligned, the tape may be damaged.
1. Play back a blank cassette tape and check to see that the tape runs without
creasing at Guide Rollers [2] and [3], and at points A and B on the lead surface.
2. If creasing is apparent, align the height of the guide rollers by turning the top of
Guide Rollers [2] and [3] with a Guide Roller Adj. Screwdriver. (Refer to Fig.
Beneath each Guide Roller, there is a small screw. (Refer to Fig.
screw works to apply adequate torque to the shaft of each Guide Roller so that the
Guide Roller turns properly. Even when adjusting the height of the Guide
Roller(s), do not touch these two small screws.
3. Check to see that the tape runs without creasing at Take-up Guide Post [4] or
without snaking between Guide Roller [3] and AC Head.(Fig.
4. If creasing or snaking is apparent, adjust the Tilt Adj. Screw of the AC Head. (
To align the Horizontal Position of the Audio/Control/Erase Head.
If the Horizontal Position of the Audio/Control/Erase Head is not properly aligned,
maximum envelope cannot be obtained at the Neutral position of the Tracking Control
1. Connect the oscilloscope to J149 [Models CCB130, 190] or TP004 [Model
CCB092] (C-PB) and J152 [Models CCB130, 190] or TP008 [Model CCB092]
(CTL) on the Main CBA. Use J96 [Models CCB130, 190] or TP005 [Model
CCB092] (RF-SW) as a trigger.
2. Play back the Gray Scale of the Alignment Tape (VFMS0001H6) and confirm that
the PB FM signal is present.
3. Set the Tracking Control Circuit to the center position by pressing the CH UP
button then the PLAY button on the TVCR.
Upon completion of the adjustment of Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (Refer to Fig.
), check the X Value by pushing the CH UP or DOWN buttons alternately, to
check the symmetry of the envelope. Check the number of pushes to ensure
center position. The number of pushes UP to achieve 1/2 level of envelope should
match the number of pushes DOWN from center. If required, redo the "X Value
4. Use the X-Value Adj. Screwdriver so that the PB FM signal at J149 [Models
CCB130, 190] or TP004 [Model CCB092] (C-PB) is maximum. (
5. Press CH UP button on the TVCR until the CTL waveform has shifted by approx.
+2msec. Make sure that the envelope is simply attenuated (shrinks in height)
during this process so that you will know the envelope has been at its peak.
6. Press CH DOWN button on the TVCR until the CTL waveform has shifted from its
original position (not the position achieved in step 5, but the position of CTL
waveform in step 4) by approximately -2msec. Make sure that the envelope is
simply attenuated (shrinks in height) once CTL waveform passes its original
position and is further brought in the minus direction.
7. Set the Tracking Control Circuit to the center position by pressing the CH UP
button and then the PLAY button on the TVCR.
Checking/Adjustment of Envelope Waveform
To achieve a satisfactory picture and precise tracking.
If the envelope output is poor, noise will appear in the picture. The tracking will then
lose precision and the playback picture will be distorted by any slight variation of the
Tracking Control Circuit.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to J149 [Models CCB130, 190] or TP004 [Model
CCB092] (C-PB) on the Main CBA. Use J96 [Models CCB130, 190] or TP005
[Model CCB092] (RF-SW) as a trigger.
2. Play back the Gray Scale on the Alignment Tape (VFMS0001H6). Set the
Tracking Control Circuit to the center position by pressing the CH UP and then the
PLAY button on the TVCR. Adjust the height of Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (
watching the oscilloscope display so that the envelope becomes as flat as
possible. To do this adjustment, turn the top of the Guide Roller with the Guide
3. If the envelope is as shown in

) so that the waveform looks like the one shown in
4. If the envelope is as shown in
, adjust the height of Guide Roller [3] (Refer
) so that the waveform looks like the one shown in
4. When Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (Refer to
) are aligned properly, there is no
envelope drop either at the beginning or end of track as shown in
Upon completion of the adjustment of Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (Refer to
), check the X Value by pushing the CH UP or DOWN buttons alternately, to check
the symmetry of the envelope. Check the number of pushes to ensure center
position. The number of pushes UP to achieve 1/2 level of envelope should match
the number of pushes DOWN from center. If required, redo the "X Value Alignment.“
Azimuth Alignment of Audio/Control/Erase Head
To correct the Azimuth alignment so that the Audio/Control/Erase Head meets tape
If the position of the Audio/Control/Erase Head is not properly aligned, the Audio S/N
Ratio or Frequency Response will be poor.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to the audio output jack on the rear side of the deck.
2. Play back the alignment tape (VFMS0001H6) and confirm that the audio signal
3. Adjust Azimuth Adj. Screw so that the output level on the AC Voltmeter or the
waveform on the oscilloscope is at maximum. (
