Procedure: 1. Connect the digital voltmeter as shown above. 2. Adjust RV501 (L-CH) and RV502 (R-CH) of the MAIN board so that the digital voltmeter reads 50 mV ±5 mV. (Idling adjustment) Measuring Point L-CH R-CH TP501 to TP503 TP502 to TP504 Adjusting Point RV501 RV502 Adjusting Value 50 mV ± 5 mV 50 mV ± 5 mV

Procedure: 1. Connect as shown above. 2. Rotate the INPUT SELECTOR knob, and set the input source to LINE 1 . 3. Set the input level so that the oscilloscope waveform level becomes approx 3 V. 4. Adjust RV401 (L-CH) and RV402 (R-CH) so that the two waveform levels on the oscilloscope become equal and their phases are reversed.
