The four holes in the E-2/E-22 side panel are blind but can be easily pierced by pressing in the screw. NOTE: The Fostex Model 9907B Filler Panel will cover the space for the upper portion of the reel when the transport is mounted on a 19 inch rack. 4.3 Pin designations for the INPUT/OUTPUT XLR connectors are as shown below. 4.4 Adjusting of BIAS 2 E-2/E-22 can use two types of tape by switching the tape selector. Of the two types of tape, one is adjusted (BIAS 1) for the Ampex #456 tape and the other is not adjusted. The bias current and record equalizer are adjusted for the tape to be used by the following procedures after setting BIAS 2 (13) LED in the lit state. 12 1) Loosen the four screws located on both sides of the meter section and tape control panel, swing down the panel and set to the left side the BIAS select slide switch, at left of the METER selector. The BIAS 2 LED will be lit. 2) If it becomes necessary to set BIAS 2, follow the procedures below. First, load a blank tape to be used at the BIAS 2 position and set tape speed to LOW. Then, set the bias selector to BIAS 2 (LED will be lit). The remaining procedures are the same as explained in "BIAS LEVEL AND RECORD LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS" but in this case, BIAS 2 (C102) is trimmed, and the recording equalizer HIGH REC EQ 2 (R204, 1KQB) and/or LOW REC EQ 2 (R205, IKfiB) is adjusted. It must be noted here that, as the level setting pot REC LVL (R206, 5KftB) is common for both BIAS 1 and BIAS 2, when a tape with a large difference in sensitivity is used, this REC LVL pot must be readjusted when the bias selector is reset to BIAS 1. The meter panel is closed and secured by the original screws after all three tracks have been adjusted. On closing the meter panel, be careful not to pinch any of the internal cables and wiring. 5. OPERATIONS Practice each procedure by referring to the numbers of each control which are same with those in Section 3, FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS. 5.1 Tape threading Thread the tape as shown in Fig. 5.1 making sure the tape passes throughy the slit of the Tape Presence Sensor (5), and that the Head Shield Gate (4) is in the lowered position. NOTE 1: The E-2 and E-22 are shipped from the plant with reel clampers already mounted. When using the 7 inch reel on the E-2, remove the reel clamper, install the reel, then replace the reel clamper and tighten it on the turntable shaft by the center clamper knob. The 10 inch reel clamper will firmly lock the reel by rotating it about 60 degrees CW as shown in Fig. 5.2 REEL CLAMPER Fig. 5.2 CAUTION: Before putting the tape in motion, be sure the tape is taut with both left and right tension arms fully lifted. 5.2 Transport tape motion operation 1) When the PLAY button (27) is depressed, the capstan will begin to rotate, the pinch roller will be pulled against the capstan and tape will be transported at constant speed. CAUTION: If the red LED at left of the PITCH control switch is blinking, this means the transport is NOT set to 15 ips normal speed but is set at "variable speed." 2) When the STOP button (26) is depressed, the pinch roller swings away from the capstan, the brakes are applied and the tape stops. 3) If the STOP button is depressed again, the left and right brakes are released, the tape will be stopped by balanced tension from both reels and thus, manual editing becomes possible by using CUE lever (3). 4) When the F.FWD (24) (REWIND/25) button is depressed, the tape lifter will push the tape away from the head surface and the tape will be transported at high speed from right (left) reel to the left (right) reel. If the F.FWD (24) (REWIND/25) button is held down, tape will be transported at about 15 ips thus allowing fast forward/rewind shuttling of tape at editing work. It will return to the normal fast winding mode when your finger is released from the button. Furthermore, the tape will be transported at about half speed of fast forward or rewind if the F.FWD (24) or REWIND (25) button and the PLAY button (27) are simultaneously depressed which is very suitable in neatly winding the tape. 5) If the AUTO PLAY button, then the LOCATE 0 (or LOCATE 1) button is depressed, the tape will momentarily stop at the ZERO position, then go into the PLAY mode. 6) The zone between MEMORY 1 and 2 can be put in the repeat mode if the AUTO PLAY (21) and AUTO RTN (23) buttons are depressed beforehand. Care must be taken to maintain the MEMORY 1MEMORY 2. 7) When the PLAY and RECORD (22) buttons are simultaneously depressed, any channel of the RECORD TRACK button that is depressed and in the READY mode, will enter the record mode and the RECORD LED will be lit. If all channels of the RECORD TRACK selector are set to SAFE, the RECORD LED will be lit in green and tape will be transported in th...
