Tape Speed Adjustment

Procedure:

1. Playback WS-48A (tape center part) in the FWD state and ad-

just RV601 so that the frequency counter reading becomes

3,000 ±15 Hz.

2. Playback WS-48A (tape center) in the REV state.

Check that the frequency counter reading is within 1.0% of

the reading of step 1.

frequency coverage and tracking adjustments should end with the

final adjustment of the trimmer capacitors.
