How to use Accubias feature on Onkyo tape deck?


Hi all,

I have an Onkyo TA-2600 cassette deck incoming. I was looking for a decent 3-head recorder with some sort of fine bias control, and this appears to have the goods.

I don't believe it's coming with a manual, so for anyone familiar with these decks ... How do you use the Accubias feature? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you haven't figured it out by now, all you have to do since you have a three head deck is start your recording and while you monitor the recording, adjust the accubias until you like how it sounds and then restart your recording. If you have a two head deck it's more or less by recording on one setting and going back to see how it sounds and repeating the process until it sounds good to you. If your recording on normal bias cassettes your gonna use less bias, if your recording on high bias cassettes your gonna use more bias.
