MEASURING METHOD TAPE SPEED DEVIATION 1, Method involving use of pre-recorded tape Playback tape prerecorded at 1000 Hz (20.1%) on recorder to be tested. Connect the appropriate output to a frequency counter meter in order to measure the tape speed deviation. 2 Method involving use of timing tape, (designed for tape speed measurement) This method utilizes a timing tape marked at intervals of 7-1/2”. The running time of over 60 marked sections of tape is measured in order to calevlate the deviation of the tape speed. In applying this method, however, it should be kept in rind that timing tape stretch or contract measure: rent error is inevitable, so that it is necessary to measure the total length of the tape in advance WOW AND FLUTTER Playback 2 3,000 Hz pre-recorded tape, of which the wow and flutter level is guaranteed to be smaller than 0.07%, and measure with a wow meter. [tis also possible for # 3,000 Hz sine wave to be recorded and played back for measurement with a wow meter. In this case, however, the wow meter will indicate a value as much as twice that given in the specifications. FREQUENCY RESPONSE RECORD = 1) Supply a sine wave of 1,000 Hz to the Line Input of the recorder to be tested through an attenuator from an audio frequency generator. 2). Set the Record/Playback Lever to “Rec” position and adjust the line input volume so that the VU Meter needle indicates “0” VU. 3) Set the Equalizer Switch to 7-1/2” or 3.3/4" position, 4) Under the condition described in (2), lower the input level 16 dB by means of the attenuator. '5) Record the spot frequency in the range of 30 Hz to 125,000 Hz from the audio frequency generator. PLAYBACK 6) Set the Record/Playback Lever to “Play” position, 7) Connect a Vacuum Tube Volt Meter to the Line ‘Output Jack. (VTVM with mili volt scale) 8) Playback the recorded tape, 9). Playback the recorded spot frequencies and make a ‘memo of output level and plot the value on a graph. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION FACTOR 1 KHz ‘Audio Distortion Oscillator aay Meter Connect the measuring instrument as shown above, and record the 1,000 Hz sine wave at “O” VU. Playback the resulting signal and measure the overall distortion factor. Measure the noise level of the tape recorder with the tape removed ; connect the audio oscillator ditectly to the distortion meter for measurement of the distortion factor of the oscillator. ‘The sequised distortion factor can be obtained from the results of the above measurement by the following formula d= dd; ~ds where, do= Required d= Overall distortion factor di = Noise level 2 = Distortion factor of the oscillator (Note : New tape of particularly good quality should be used for measurement of the distortion factor.) SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO 6X20 Line Output VIVN, Set the Equalizer Switch to “*7-1/2ips” position and playback a tape containing a 250 Hz sine wave recorded at “0” VU level on a standard recorder. Connect @ VILVM, to the line output jack of the recorder and measure its outpat. Then remove the tape and measure the noise level under the same condition. Convert into decibels each of the measured values. CROSSTALK (Crosstalk between the tracks) (TAPE) ‘Tape direction —3 Tape direction ‘As shown in the figure, first record a 1,000 He sine wave fon track No.3 at +3VU level. Next, remove the 1,000 Hz input signal and record under a non-input condition. Then, playback the tape on track No. 3 and No. 1 (reversed condition of tape) through the 1,000 He BPP.

The Brake Levers free the Brake and Lever Spring (G) turns “ON” Microswitch (SW006) (F) so that both torque motors become operative (as shown in diagram illustration).FAST~ FORWARO/ REWIND Fig. 54 3. REVERSE (BLOCK DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATION) Daring Playback mode, when Reverse button (B) is depressed or the sensing tape passes the sensing pole (Si), the base of TRO202 is grounded, The operation of ‘TRO202 is stopped and the voltage sent to the base of TRO2S and operates it. Reverse Relay RLO2O1 is actuated and Reverse is effected. [At the same time, the discharge current of Condenser C0205 (100M/16 V) actuates TRO4O1 and TRIO4 which assume operating position within a period of from 4 to 8 seconds. Tension Relay (RLO#O1) is actuated and a higher voltage than during reverse playback time (47 V) is supplied to the Take-Up torque motor. At the same time Mute Relay (CRL101 7) mutes the playback output signal Plunger (SRO301) operates and lowers the playback head, (See Fig. 54)4. FAST FORWARD When Fast Forward/Rewind Lever is set to Forward position, SWO03 (block disgram) enters forward position. Brake Levers (E) (E) free brake. Lever Spring (G) tums “ON” Microswitch (F) and the TAKE-UP Torque Motor rotates. (See Fig. 55) 5.

Lever Spring (G) turns “ON” Microswitch (F) and the SUPPLY Torque Motor rotates. (See Fig. 5-5)AUTOMATIC STOP MECHANISM When the tape is threaded on pin (B), if the tape is accidentally broken or comes to the end, Automatic Stop Lever (A) drops to its original position When the tape is broken or comes to the end, Plate Spring (C), located below the Automatic Stop Lever, depresses a projected pin on Eccentric Gear (D). Eccentric Gear (D) gears into Flywheel (E) to begin rotation of the Eecentric Gear. This rotating action ‘operates Lever (L), which is connected to the base of the Eccentric Gear, and pushes up Instant Stop Lever (G). When Instant Stop Lever (G) is lifted, Shut Off Lever (J) ‘contacts Micro Switch (K) and the current supply is cut off, Thus, automatic stop control is provided in Record: ing and Playback modes. In Fast Forward and Rewind modes, the same operation takes place except that Lever (H) works to push bsck the FF, Rewind Shaft to “Stop” position. (See Figs. 5-6 t0 5-9) Fig, 59 10vi.
