3) Remove the two retaining screws, then remove the SLED
MOTOR.
Next, extract the plastic gear tram the motor shaft and
attach itonto the new motor's shaft.

4) Reassemble in the reverse order.

About the SPINDLE MOTOR:

Replacement of the SPINDLE MOTOR Itself is not
recommended, because adjustment of the TURN TABLE
height is quite critical and requires the use of a special jig.

3-1-3. Replacement of the PICK UP BLOCK

1) Remove the TRAVERSE MECHA (refer to section 3-1-1).

2) While pressing the ® stopper upwards. pull the SLIDE
SHAFT to the right to remove the PICK UP BLOCK, then
replace the PICK UP BLOCK.

3) Reassemble in the reverse order.

3-1-4. Replacement of the LOADING MOTOR
1) Slide the protruding part ol the GEAR HOLDER PART in
the direction of the arrow. then pull out the TRAY BLOCK.

2) Unhook the LOADING BELT with tweezers.

3) Unsolder the lead wires of the LOADING MOTOR with a
solderan iron.

4) While releasing the LOADING MOTORs three retaining
hooks, push the motor pully part down with' your middle
finger to remove the LOADING MOTOR, then replace it.

5) Reassemble in the reverse order. Make sure thatthe wire
with the gray stripe is connected to the motor's O marked
terminal when soldering.

3-1-5. Removal 01 the TRAY BLOCK

1) It the TRAY BLOCK is in the in" position, slide the
protruding part at the GEAR HOLDER PART in thedi rection
oi the arrow and pull out the TRAY BLOCK siowly(reler to
Fig. 3-7).

2) In order to disengage the two stoppers, careluly press
the ® pan of the TRAY BLOCK downwards whie pulling
the TRAY BLOCK out as shown in Fig. 3-10.

IV. MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT

4~1 . ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADAZIMUTH

ALIGNMENT

1) Connect an oscilloscope to the L-ch and R-oh speaker
terminals of the unit. Set the VOLUME control on the
FRONT PANEL at the appropriate level (is, the output
level is not too low or too high).

2) Play back a 10 kHz (-15 dB). HEAD AZIMUTH
ALIGNMENT TEST TAPE (T F-1060H) then adjust the
HEAD AZIMUTH ALIGNMENT ® (FWD PLAY) and ®
(REV PLAY) SCREWs respectively so that the waveform
level of both the L-ch and R-ch are at maximum and also
they are in the same phase in both FWD and REV
directions. (Use a sharp edge philips type screwdriver that
is de-magnetized tor adjustment.)

Perform the adjustment on both the TAPE-l and TAPE-ll
heads it necessary.

V. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT

5-1.TAPE DECK SECTION

NOTE :
1) The following adjustment should be pertormed in
the DECK test mode".
To engage the DECK test mode, connect the AC
power cord to the AC outlet while pressing the
"TAPE-ll" and D ( F ) buttons together.
When the DECK test mode" is engaged, the
'DUBX1" indicator on the FL display will light.
2) When performing the tape speed adjustment,
observe the following notes.
0 Adjustment should be started more than 30
seconds alter the power is switched ON.
0 Adjustment should be made on X25peed mode
first then adjust the normal speed mode.
O Adjustment should be made in the toward
direction.
3) To disengage the DECK test mode", press the
POWER button or unplug the AC power cord
from the AC outlet.
