PRECAUTION
1. Clean the following parts with a denatured alcohol-moistened
swab :
2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demagnetizer. (Do not bring the head demagnetizer close to the erase
head.)
3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the
parts adjusted.
5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
