"NVRAM option setting".
3) When replacing the cylinder ass'y, be sure to adjust the "X-Point" and "Head switching adjustment".
4) Among Samsung VCR remote control used for adjustment as a accessory, only the remote control that has figures buttons (0 ~ 9) and
"REC.SPEED" button are available for all adjustment regardless of chassis.
5) How to adjustment.

5-4-1 Tape Transport System and Adjustment Locations

The tape transport system has been adjusted precisely in the factory. Alignment is not necessary except for the
following :
1) Noise observed on the screen.
2) Tape damage.
3) Parts replacement in the tape transport system.

Lower flange height of tape guide is used as the reference for the transport adjustment.
To maintain the height of the tape guide and prevent damage, do not apply excessive force onto the main base.

5-4-2 Tape Transport System Adjustment

When parts are replaced, perform the required adjustments by referring to procedures for the tape transport
system. If there are any changes to the tape path, first run a T-120 tape and make sure excessive tape wrinkle does
not occur at the tape guides.

If tape wrinkle is observed at the guide roller S, T, turn the guide roller S, T until wrinkle disappears.
If the tape wrinkle is still observed at the tape guide, perform the tilt adjustment of the ACE head.

(1) ACE Head Assembly Adjustment

a. ACE HEAD HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1) Run the alignment tape (Color bar) in the playback mode.
2) Observe surface of the audio head using a dental mirror.
3) Turn screw (C) clockwise or counterclockwise until the gap of lower tape edge and the lower edge of the
control head is about 0.25mm. (Refer to Fig. 5-7 and 5-8)

b. ACE HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT

1) Playback a blank tape and observe the position of the tape at the lower flange of tape guide.
2) Confirm that there is no curl or wrinkle at the lower flange of tape guide as shown in Fig. 5-9 (B).
3) If a curl or wrinkle of the tape occurs, slightly turn the screw (A) tilt adjust on the ACE head ass'y.
4) Reconfirm the ACE head height.

c. AUDIO AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT

1) Load alignment tape (Mono scope) and playback the 7KHz signal.
2) Connect channel-1 scope probe to audio output.
3) Adjust screw (B) to achieve maximum audio level. (See Fig. 5-7)

d. ACE HEAD POSITION (X-POINT) ADJUSTMENT

1) Playback the alignment tape (Color bar)
2) Intermittently short-circuit the two Test Point on Main PCB with set the adjustment mode. (See Fig. 5-2)
3) Press the "0, 5" button of remote control then adjustment is operated automatically. (See Fig. 5-1)
4) Connect the CH-1 probe to "Envelope" the CH-2 probe to "H'D switching pulse" and then trigger to CH-1.
5) Insert the (-) driver into the X-Point adjustment hole and adjust it so that envelope waveform is maximum.

(2) Linearity adjustment (Guide roller S, T adjustment)

1) Playback the Mono Scope alignment tape (SP mode).
2) Observe the video envelope signal on an oscilloscope (triggered by the video switching pulse).
3) Make sure the video envelope waveform (at its minimum) meets the specification shown in Fig. 5-11.
If it does not, adjust as follows :
Note :
a=Maximum output of the video RF envelope.
b=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the entrance side.
c=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the center point.
d=Maximum output of the video RF envelope at the exit side.

4) If the section A in Fig. 5-12 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller S up or down.
5) If the section B in Fig. 5-12 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller T up or down.

(3) Check Transitional Operation from RPS to Play

Check transition from RPS mode to play mode : Using a pre-recorded SP tape, make sure the entry side of enve-
lope comes to an appropriate steady state within 3 seconds (as shown in Fig. 5-14).
If the envelope waveform does not reach specified peak-to peak amplitude within 3 seconds, adjust as follows :

1) Make sure there is no gap between the supply roller lower flange and the tape.
If there is a gap, adjust the supply guide roller again.
2) Change operation mode from the RPS to the play mode (again) and make sure the entry side of envelope rises
within 3 second.

(4) Envelope Check

1) Make recordings on T-120 (E-120) and T-160 (E-180) tape.
Make sure the playback output envelope meets the specification as shown in Fig. 5-15.
2) Play back a self recorded tape (recording made on the unit using with T-120 (E-120).
The video envelope should meet the specification as shown in Fig. 5-15.
In SP mode, (A) should equal (B).
If the head gap is wide, upper cylinder should be checked.

(5) Tape Wrinkle Check

1) Run the T-160 (E-180) tape in the playback, FPS, RPS and Pause modes and observe tape wrinkle at
each guide.
2) If excessive tape wrinkle is observed, perform the following adjustments in Playback mode :

Tape wrinkle at the guide roller S, T section : Linearity adjustment.
Tape wrinkle at tape guide flange : ACE head assembly coarse adjustment.

5-4-3 Reel Torque

1) The rotation of the capstan motor causes the holder clutch ass'y to rotate through the belt pulley.
2) The spring wrap PLAY/REV of holder clutch ass'y drives the disk reel S, T through gear idle by rotation of
gear center ass'y.
3) Brake is operated by slider cam at FF/REW mode.
4) Transportation of accurate driving force is done by gears. (Gear Center Ass'y)

Note : If the spec. does not meet the followings specifications, replace the holder clutch ass'y and then recheck.
