(c) Record Head Height Adjustment and Azimuth
Alignment

Record Head tilt adjustment can be performed in the
same way as (or the Playback Head.

Height adjustment can be adjusted while recording 400 Hz
test tone by loosening or tightening RH Height Adjust-
ment Screw to obtain the maximum level on the both
Level Meters. Azimuth alignment can be adjusted while
playing back 15 kHz test tone by ioosening or tightening
RH Azimuth Alignment Screw to obtain the maximum
level on the both Level Meters.

This system has also been carefully designed so as to
minimize influence each other between azimuth and
height adjustment.

(d) Erase Head Height and Tilt Adjustment

Erase Head is affixed onto the Erase Head Plate which is
assembled with the Head Base. It is installed with three
screws. By turning these screws. its height, tilt of back-
ward or irontward, and tilt of leftward or rightward can
be adjusted separately, thus the best location of Erase
Head can be obtained.

2.1.2. Double Capstan Tape Drive

As shown in Fig. 2.1.8, the double capstan system consists
of two capstan shafts (a) and (b) connected to the two fly-
wheels which are driven by a capstan belt.

Against these capstans two pressure rollers (21) and (b) are
engaged to run the tape with an adequate holdback tension
created by the double capstan and pressure rollers.

Since the diameter of capstan shaft (3) is smaller than that
of capstan shaft (b), when two flywheels begin to turn as
shown in the figure, capstan (a) runs slightly faster than
capstan (bi, which subsequently generates holdback ten-
sion.

As you note, if the diameters of the 2capstans should be
the same, the generation cycles of wow and flutter will be-
come approximately the same, as a result of which defe-

ctive portion will be doubly superposed and preferable
portion vice versa. The N-582 employs 2 capstans, each
having different diameter and rotations, thereby avoiding
the aforesaid occurrence and stabilizing wow and flutter
characteristics.

As the double capstan system always creates a constant
and stable holdback tension between the two capstans,
the condition of the tape between two capstans will not
be affected by any external conditions such as irregular
take-up and supply torques, irregular loading of cassette
tape, undesirable mechanism vibration and etc.. thus
assuring the superior wow and flutter characteristics.
The double capstan system provides a constant holdback
tension on the tape and maintains the stable pressure onto
the tape against the heads.

5.4. Head Base Stroke Adjustment in Play and Cue
Modes
Before you conduct this adjustment, adjust with a
Tilt Check Gauge to insure freedom from tilt on
the playback head and record head.

Note:

(1) Head Base Stroke Adjustment in Play Mode

Refer to Fig. 5.7.

(a) Load a Stroke Check Gauge M-9047 (DA09047A) in
the N-582.

Move Record Head Indicator and Playback Head In-
dicator to the direction of arrow mark A" with your
finger tip and then set the N-582 in play mode.

Then slowly release the Indicators and insure whether
each of the Indicators is in contact with record and
playback heads.

Check to insure whether the P" pointer on the Play-
back Head Indicator locates between the 2 lines on
the Indicator Plate.

If the playback head stroke is noted to be misaligned,
adjustment can be made by moving the stroke adjut'
er assembled in the head base assembly (either for-
wardly or backwardly).

Check to insure whether the "P" pointer on the Play~
back Head Indicator locates between the 2 lines on
the Record Head Indicator, thus check can be made
on record head stroke.

(f) If the record head stroke is noted to be misaligned,

ing Gauge M-9048 (DA09048A).

(2) Head Base Stroke Adjustment in Cue Mode

Refer to Fig. 5.8.

(3) Load a Stroke Check Gauge M-9047 (DA09047A) in
the N-582. '

Move Record Head Indicator and Playback Head In-
dicator to the direction of arrow mark A" with
your finger tip and then set the N-582 in cue mode
(F.F. and Pause).

Then slowly release the Indicators and insure whether
each of the Indicators is in contact with record and
playback heads.

Check to insure whether the C" pointer on the
Playback Head Indicator locates between the 2 lines
on the Indicator Plate.

If the playback head stroke is noted to be misaligned,
adjust VR403 of the Logic P.C.B. Ass'y till satis-
factory results are obtained.

After completion of the Head Base Stroke Adjust-
ment, check to insure accuracy of the Head Base
Stroke Adjustment in play mode.

If the above are inaccurate, items (1) and (2) will
have to be repeated'till satisfactory results are obtain-
ed.
