ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

IDLE CURRENT
A. Setting
Set the master volume minimum.
B. Connection

TP1

TP2
R162

R145

VOLT METER

VR101
AMP BD

C. Adjustment
Adjust VR101 so that the current through the R162, R145 become 10 milliampere.
When that voltage across the TP1 to TP2 becomes 30 millivolt, the current becomes 10
milliampere.
