Dial Stringing8, SCOPE DISPLAY ALIGNMENT 8.1 Depress both SCOPE DISPLAY switches “ON" and "EXT. 2. CH". 8.2 Adjust two CENTERING knobs to bring the spot into the center of small circular. 8.3 Adjust “BRIGHT” control (ROOS) on the rear panel to make the brightness of the spot dimmer 8.4 Adjust “FOCUS” control, (R008) to make the spot smaller and more circuler. 8.5 Feed in 130mV (1 KHz) to the "SCOPE INPUTS, FRONT A” jack and adjust R915 (HORIZ) to obtain a horizontal deflection of about dem, then connect the same input voltage to the “VERT jack and adjust R916 (VERT) for the same vertical deflection. 8.6 Set both the centering knobs at their mechanical center, and adjust R905 (HORIZ) and R906 (VERT) to bring the spot into the center of small circular. 9. AM TUNING DISPLAY ALIGNMENT 9.1 Depress both SCOPE DISPLAY switches “ON” and “TUNING” and MODE SELECTION switch “AM”, 9.2 Adjust RTOS to bring the spot on the lower center of the base line with no station tuned in. 10. FM TUNING DISPLAY ALIGNMENT 10.1 Depress both SCOPE DISPLAY switches “ON” and “TUNING” and MODE SELECTION switch “FM”. 10.2 Connect FM signal input of 100KuV (98 MHz, 400 Hz, 30% Mod.) to the FM ANTENNA terminal and adjust R374 so that the spot does not frame out. 10.3 FM Multipath display alignment: Adjust RT31 to obtain full deflection of the trace within both side marks, applying FM signal (1 KuV, 400 Hz, 100% Mod.) to the FM ANTENNA terminals. 11. AM ALIGNMENT AM IF Alignment: 11.1 Connect a sweep generator to the J153 and an alignment socpe to the test point 6 11.2 Rotate each core of IF transformer L153 and L154 for maximum height arid flat top symmetrical response. AM Frequency Range and Tracking Alignment: 11.3 Set AM signal generator to 525 KHz. Turn the tuning capacitor fully closed (place the tuning pointer at the low end.) and adjust the oscillator coil L152 for maximum audio output. 11.4 Set the signal generator to 1650 KHz. Place the tuning pointer in the high frequency end and adjust the oscillator trimmer on the oscillator tuning capacitor for maximum audio output. 11.5 Repeat the step 1 and 2 until no further adjustment is necessary 11.6 Set the generator to 600 KHz and tune the receiver to the same frequency and adjust a slug core of AM ferrite rod antenna and RF coil L151 for maximum output. 11.7 Set the generator to 1400 KHz and tune the receiver to the same frequency and adjust both trimming capacitors of Antenna and RF tuned circuit for maximum output. 11.8 Repeat the step 4 and 5 until no further adjustment is necessary. Note: During tracking alignment reduce the signal generator output as necessary to avoid AGC action.Marantz 120B 11.9 AM Signal Strength Display Adjustment: Set the AM signal generator to 1000 KHz, 100 dB and adjust R152 so that the spot may ‘meet upper mark. 12. FM ALIGNMENT 12.1 Connect a FM signal generator to the FM ANTENNA terminals and a oscilloscope and an ‘audio distortion analyzer to the TUNER output jacks on the rear panel. 12.2 Set the FM SG to 87.5 MHz and provide about 3 to 5:V. Place the tuning pointer at the low frequency end by rotating the tuning knob and adjust the core of oscillator coil L105 to ‘obtain maximum audio output. 12.3 Set the FM SG to 108.5 MHz and provide about 3 to 54V output. Rotate the tuning knob and place the tuning pointer at the high frequency end and adjust the trimming capacitor C106 for maximum output. 12.4 Repeat the step 2 and 3 until no further adjustment is necessary. 12.5 Set the FM SG to 90 MHz and tune the receiver to the same frequency. Decrease signal generator output until the audio output level decreases with the decreasing generator output. Adjust the antenna coil L101, RF coil L102, L103 and L104 and IF transformer L106 for minimum audio distortion. 12.6 Set the FM SG to 106 MHz and tune the receiver to the same frequency. Adjust the trimming capacitor C102, C103, C104 and C105 for minimum distortion, 12.7 Connect @ VTVM (with DC 1 V range) across the pin terminal J504 and common ground. Adjust the secondary core (black) of discriminator transformer L501 so that the VTVM. indicates null reading (zero reading) at no signal. Set the FM SG to 98 MHz and increase its output level to 1 KuV and tune the receiver to the same frequency so that the VTVM gives null reading. Next adjust the primary core (pink) of L501 for minimum distortion. (Scope display can, of course, be used as tuning indicator instead of the VTVM, if the scope unit, has been correctly adjusted as instructed in the SCOPE DISPLAY ALIGNMENT.) 13, STEREO SEPARATION ALIGNMENT 13.1 Set the FM SG to provide 1 KuV at 90 MHz. Tune the receiver to the same frequency so that the tuning pointer indicates its center. Then, turn off the modulation of the FM SG. Connect a frequency counter to test point J310 (point © ) and adjust R311 so that the frequency counter may a precisely read 19 KHz. 13.2 Modulate the FM SG with stereo composite signal-consisting of only L or R channel (pilot signal must be included). 13.3 Adjust the trimming resistor R301 for maximum and same separation in both channels. 14, MUTING CIRCUIT ALIGNMENT 14.1 Connect a VTVM across the resistor R363 and adjust the resistor R363 until the meter reads 0.7V DC at no signal. 14.2 Set the FM SG to provide 1 KV at 98 MHz and tune the receiver to the same frequency connectly. 14.3 Turn on MUTING push switch. Shift the FM signal generator frequency to plus ahd minus and note both plus and minus shifted frequencies at which undesirable audio side responses, are muted out. Adjust the R363 so that each shifted frequency range becomes equal. 14.4 Adjust R362 for preferred frequency shift at which the muting circuit operates.sce a SNe a Ex, face iS in SNe 59, s if tao aes ‘ = %, i F ao © BOOP emg. eo, : oe een GQ) | 2 Os We i es a i PageMarantz 1208 ~ ” = ‘ le ey = a vt (Gx | cee es) oS PF Figure 14.
