trim

adjustment

The

BIAS

FINE

TRIM

knob

(27)

allows

you

to

adjust

recording

bias

optimally

for

different

brands

and

formulations

of

tape.

Adjustment

is

not

necessary

for

playback.

To

determine the

proper

adjustment,

make

a

trial

recording

from

a

record

you

know

well,

and

compare

the

record

to

the

tape

recording.

If

the

tape

provides

exces-

sive

high

frequency

response,

rotate

the

BIAS

FINE

TRIM

knob

(27)

counterclock-

wise

toward

the

hi

cut

setting.

If

the

tape

lacks

high

frequency

response,

rotate

the

BIAS

FINE

TRIM

knob

(27)

toward

the

hi

boost

position.

Continue

trial

recordings

until

the

high

frequency

response

on

the

tape

recording

and

record

are

as

close

as

possible.

This

is

the

correct

setting

only

for

the

particular

formulation

and

brand

of

tape

in

use.

If

you

continue

to

use

the

same

for-

mulation

and

brand,

readjustment

is

not

necessary.

But

new

adjustments

should

be

made

for

different

tapes.
