Just a tip, adjust the recording level first, then the bias as it is usually easier to calibrate some tapes. Also, the Sony UX-S tape will work flawlessly without calibration and very little or no adjustment is needed. Also, I have one question for you - are the capstans constantly rotating as soon as you power up the deck? You've done a really good video there, thanks!
Using a cassette deck and calibrate things are the easiest things in the world haha
It all speaks for itself , and if you still can't figure it out read the manual haha
Instructionbook in PDF format are all available from the web for free
What is far more interesting is , is how you check the alignment of the heads and the zenith and the pressure of the capstanrollers
Most manufactorers were very untidy and inaccurate in finishing this .
That's why most cassettedecks can sound crappy..
