Nakamichi 481 Headblock provides more stabilized tape travel. Accuracy of tape travel is one of the most essential factors for a device to optimize

15、 its performance. Inaccurate tape travel will therefore induce deterioration exemplified by the following: (a) vibration will be given to tape travel, as a result of which flutter and modulation noise will become in creased (b) insufficient tape-to-head contact will result in level drops (c) tape sk

16、ew will become greater and frequency re- sponse will become decreased Needless to say, constant tape travel must consist of smooth drive mechanism, as well as of the fact that tape, heads and tape guide are placed in the most appropriate positions. N481 Playback Head and Record Head, they are both m

17、ade small in size so that the both heads are assembled in a space of the conventional Record/Playback Head. Erase Head is located at the place where the Record Head is located in the N-700II/1000II. Both Playback Head and Record Head are assembled on the Head Mount Base. Take-up Tape Guide and Suppl

18、y Tape Guide are fixed to the Take-up Pressure Roller Arm and Supply Pressure Roller Arm, respectively. Erase Head is placed on the Head Base. All these can be separately adjusted. Record Head is placed slightly backward, approximately 0.15 mm away from the Playback Head. Record Head is placed appro

19、ximately 3 inclined leftward. Shape of the Heads and its location have been carefully studied to bring about smoother contact of tape with the Heads. Pad Lifter is affixed to the Playback Head so as not to let Tape Pad touch the Head to give more stabilized tape travel, making it free from the influ

20、ence of the Tape Pad within the Cassette Tape. Thus the trouble of changes in azimuth can now be avoided at changing of cassette tape if only the Record Head azimuth is properly adjusted in advance. The Fig. 2.1.2 shows trackings of each head against a tape of the N-481, wherein the figure shows ide

21、al locations at the time of designing, thus the tracking in actual use will vary more or less, depending upon the tape width, etc. (1) Adjustment of Tape Guide Height Tape Guide of the N-481 is assembled into the Take-up and Supply Pressure Roller Assemblies. With a spring in the stud of Mechanism C

22、hassis Assy, Pressure Roller Assy is tightly affixed with Tape Guide Adjustment Nut. The Adjustment Nut is placed on a spring through Pres sure Roller Arm, and therefore by either tightening or loosening, height adjustment of the Tape Guide will become possible. (2) Playback Head Height Adjustment a

23、nd Azimuth Alignment Azimuth and height of Playback Head can be made in dependently and adjustment may be done separately without affecting others. In order to adjust the tilt of Playback Head backwards or frontwards, take off the Height Gear Stopper and take out the Height Gear and then turn the tw

24、o Height Adjustment Screws. After the adjustment is done, place the Height Gear back and fix it with the Height Gear Stopper. After the tilt is adjusted in such a way as above, adjust the height by loosening or tightening the Height Gear. Azimuth alignment is adjusted by loosening or tightening the

25、PH Azimuth Screw. This system has been carefully designed so as to minimize in -fluence each other between azimuth and height adjust -ment. (3) Record Head Height Adjustment and Azimuth Alignment Record head tilt adjustment can be performed in the same way as for the Playback Head. Height adjustment

26、 can be adjusted while recording 400 Hz test tone by loosening or tightening RH Height Adjust ment Screw to obtain the maximum level on the both Level Meters. Azimuth alignment can be adjusted while playing back 15 kHz signal by loosening or tightening RH Azimuth Alignment Screw to obtain the maximu

27、m 5 level on the both Level Meters. This system has also been carefully designed so as to minimize influence each other between azimuth and height adjustment. 2.1.2. Erase Head Fig. 2.1.3 shows the sectional view of the Erase Head. Fig. 2.1.4 shows the characteristics of erasing current and erasure.

28、 It has the same characteristics with the previous type Direct-Flux Erase Head but been purposely developed to minimize the size further. Conventional Erase Head had its inside core narrower than its outside core, while this Erase Head is equipped with an inside core wider than the outside core. Thi

29、s has resulted more power sufficient enough for erasing with small power consumption, approx. 0.5 W, though the head width is as small as 3 mm. The smaller the power con sumption is, the smaller will be the heat generation, and this is of course another merit. 2.1.3. Double Capstan Tape Drive As sho

30、wn in Fig. 2.1.5, the double capstan system con sists of two capstan shafts (a) and (b) connected to the two flywheels which are driven by a capstan belt. Against these capstans two pressure rollers (a) and (b) are engaged to run the tape with an adequate holdback ten sion created by the double caps

31、tan and pressure rollers. Since the diameter of capstan shaft (a) is smaller than that of capstan shaft (b), when two flywheels begin to turn as shown in the figure, capstan (a) runs slightly faster than capstan (b), which subsequently generates holdback ten sion. As you note, if the diameters of th

32、e 2 capstans should be the same, the generation cycles of wow and flutter will be come approximately the same, as a result of which defe ctive portion will be doubly superposed and preferable portion vice versa. The N-481 employs 2 capstans, each having different diameter and rotations, thereby avoi

33、ding (4) Erase Head Height and Tilt Adjustment Erase Head is affixed onto the Erase Head Plate which is assembled with the Head Base. It is installed with three screws. By turning these screws, its height, tilt of back ward or frontward, and tilt of leftward or rightward can be adjusted separately,

34、thus the best location of Erase Head can be obtained. the aforesaid occurrence and stabilizing wow and flutter characteristics. As the double capstan system always creates a constant and stable holdback tension between the two capstans, the condition of the tape between two capstans will not be affe

35、cted by any external conditions such as irregular take-up and supply torques, irregular loading of cassette tape, undesirable mechanism vibration and etc., thus assuring the superior wow and flutter characteristics. The double capstan system provides a constant holdback tension on the tape and maint

36、ains the stable pressure onto the tape against the heads. The only critical factor in the double capstan system is to be considered; the two capstans have to be positioned per fectly in parallel and to be precisely vertical against the head base, the pressure rollers have to be evenly pressed agains

37、t the capstan shafts and the head surface must be 6 positioned perfectly vertical to the tape surface. Other- wise, the running tape might become out of the tape guide resulting in irregular movement. 2.1.4. Mechanism Control Cam Operation Refer to Fig. 2.1.6 Mechanism Control Cam timing chart. Func

38、tion of N-481 Mechanism is done by Cam Control. Cam is driven by the Control Motor. The Motor operates so as to result zero in the difference of voltages between each voltage corresponding to mechanism function and each reference voltage which corresponds to each com- mands of the Control Switch. Wh

39、en the difference comes to zero, then it stops. In this way, each function is kept properly operated. For further details, please see the ex- planation on Logic Control. Here we explain principle of its mechanical functions. Cam Control System works as follows: Cam Drive Gear is driven by Control Mo

40、tor by means of Drive Belt. Cam Drive Gear is related to the cam with which each function may be mechanically set on. (1) Play Mode Press the Play Switch to make it Play mode. Then the Cam begins to move from Stop position to Play position and the Play mode will be set. The Head Base which is linked to the Cam and which is normally pushed against the Stop position gets released and the Head Base will slowly come out for playing. To explain this function, first the Head Base is latched and the Reel Mot
