ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
TMR-IF330R
Note :
1. The transmitter section adjustments should be completed before
performing the headphones section adjustment.
2. On adjusting the headphones section, use the transmitter as a
jig.

3. The headphones section adjustment must be made with PD board
connected to the RX board with the specified wire.
4. The MUTE ON POINT adjustment must be made while taking
care of the photodiodes (D1, D2, D101, D102) not to be exposed directly to external lights (such as incandescent lamp and
sun light).

2. Appl y DC 1.2V between TP (VCC) and TP (GND) on the RX
board.
3. Set the R V1 (V OL) on the RX boar d to the minim um position.
Procedure :
1. Connect the distor tion meter to TP31 (L-c h) and TP51 (R-c h).
2. T urn on the po wer.
3. Adjust with L32 (L-ch) and L53 (R-ch) to minimize the reading
