Abstract
In order to compensate for differences in magnetic properties of recording tapes, a first and second audio test signals of different frequencies are generated by a variable frequency test signal source, recorded on a magnetic tape and reproduced to represent the magnetic properties of the tape at the different frequencies. The reproduced first test signal is stored in a microcomputer for comparison with the level of the subsequently reproduced second test signal to detect the difference therebetween for making an adjustment of the level of the second test signal in accordance with the detected difference through the use of a level adjusting device. The latter is thereafter held adjusted to the value at which the two test signals have an equal level of reproduction.
