REVIEW
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270˚C
during repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

Tape Speed Adjustment
Procedure :
RV601
1. Playback WS-48A (tape center part) in the FWD state and adjust
RV601 so that the frequency counter reading becomes
3,000 Hz.
Specification Value :
Digital frequency counter
2,970 to 3,030 Hz
2. Check that frequency counter reading is within 2% of reading
of step 1.
