3 Next, press the tracking button (+), (–) and change
the ATR signal waveform from max to min and from
min to max. At this time adjust the height of supply
and take-up side guide roller with the adjustment
driver (JiGDRiVERH-4) so that the ATR signal wave-
form changes nearly parallel.
4 If the tape is lifted or sunk from the helical lead
surface, the PB ATR signal waveform appears as
shown in Figure 4-35.
5 Press the tracking button (+), (–) and make sure that
the ATR signal waveform changes nearly parallel.
6 Finally check tape crease near the reverse guide. If
tape crease is found, remove it as stated in 4-17
"HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF REVERSE GUIDE"
item 3.
3 Move the A/C head with the X value adjustment gear
driver by the method shown in Figure 4-33, and
adjust the A/C head so as to get the maximum ATR
signal waveform. (Note: At this time adjust so as to
get the maximum ATR signal waveform nearest the
A/C head position which has been set in case of X
value rough adjustment as stated in 4-18, 3- 2.)
4 Tighten finally the screws 1 and 2. Be sure to tighten
at first the screw 1 and then the screw 2. Final
tightening torque is 0.6N·m (If the screw 2 is tightened
first, the X value may deviate.)
5 Adjust the playback switching point (Refer to the
electric adjustment method.)
6 Playback the self-picture-recorded tape, and check
the flatness of ATR signal waveform and sound.
Notes:
When the A/C head X value adjustment is performed, be
sure to perform at first X value rough adjustment (refer to 4-
18, 3-2).

1 Tentatively fix A/C head arm screws 1 and 2 by the
method described in 4-15 "Replacement 3".
2 Playback the alignment tape (VROATSV), and
shortcircuit between TP801 and TP802. As a result
the auto-tracking is automatically cancelled, so that
the X value adjustment mode is set.
