2-2-2(b) SKEW Adjustment Method Needed to minimize the variations in Skew of the Pickup unit and to provide optimum match with the recorded signal on the Disc. 1) Connect an Oscilloscope to the "ENV" Test Point (See Fig. 2-5). 2) Connect Power, Open the Tray and Play Ch.14 Which is in the TDV-533 Disc. Set the Oscilloscope Range as follows : (Voltage ; 50mV/Div., Frequency ; 10m Sec.) 3) Adjust the Screws "A" and "B" (See Fig. 2-6) using a Hex screwdriver until you obtain a Flat Waveform and the picture is stable. Then, go to Chapter 1 and make sure the Waveform is Flat here as well. If not, you have to go back to Chapter 14 and adjust again. If you cannot obtain a Flat waveform, then the unit is defective. Note : The Deck must be in a horizontal position. Use both "A" and "B" screws to adjust.

2-3-1 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.

2-3-2 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. 2-10 and 2-11)

(See Fig. 2-2) 3) Press the "0, 5" remote control buttons, then adjustment is operates automatically. (See Fig. 2-1) 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. 2-14. 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. 2-15 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller S up or down. 5) If the section B in Fig. 2-15 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 envelope comes to an appropriate steady state within 3 seconds (as shown in Fig. 2-17). 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 seconds.

(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. 2-18. 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. 2-18. 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. Samsung Electronics 2-13
