1)
Install the Mini DV torque cassette (Ref. No. J-6).
2)
Set the RVS mode (by using the EDIT SEARCH (–) button of
the machine).  Confirm that the center of the S-reel table torque
reading value is 1.37 to 2.11 (mN•m) (14 to 21.5 g•cm) and the
fluctuation value is 0.39 to 0.40 (mN•m) (3.9 to 4.0 g•cm).
If either of the above specifications is not satisfied, check whether
the tension regulator band has any abnormality.  If it has no
