DC-BIAS ADJUSTMENT Note: This adjustment should be done after replacing any of the power transistors To avoid accidental power transistor damage, increase the ac line voltage gradually, using variable transformer, while measuring the voltage across the test point and the MAIN speaker terminal as shown in Fig. 3-1 Test Equipment Required 1, De millivoltmeter Capable of measuring de voltage of 100 mV or less 2. Variable transformer 3. Screwdriver with 3 mm (/s") blade Preparation 1. Remove the wooden case. ‘Dc milivottmeter To MAIN speaker terminal, RCH (+) test point RCH (CP-A) Fig. 3-1. 2. Connect the de voltmetér across the MAIN speaker terminal and the test point as shown in Fig, 3-1 3. Depress the MAIN speaker switch button. 4. Set the variable transformer for minimum output. 5. Apply a drop of cement solvent to the adjustable resistors RTIO1, RT201 (See Fig. 3-1) on the circuit board Procedure 1, Turn the power switch ON and increase the line voltage to the rated value. Note: Check to see that the reading does not exceed 25 mV. If it does, turn off the power immediately, then check and re pair the trouble in the power amplifier section. 2, Adjust RTIO1 (RT201) for 25 mV reading on the meter, De miltivoltmeter To MAIN speaker. terminal, L-CH (+1 test point L:CH (CP-L) De millivoltmeter connection and parts locationSECTION 4 REPACKING The TA-1066's original shipping carton and the TA-1066 must be repacked in these materials packing materials are the ideal containers for shipping precisely as before.
