- You need a full-track test tape of 8-12 KHz tone recorded at -10 dB.
- The TEAC MTT-114N, which is the standard tape used by many Japanese
- manufacturers, is available for about $35 from their parts division.
-
- Connect each channel to one channel of your scope, and adjust the
- azimuth screw on the tape head for maximum amplitude with respect
- to phase.
