The bias knob is used during recording only. The way to set it
is quite simple:
o Connect any appropriate source to the deck's inputs and set the
record levels appropriately.
o Load a blank tape and start recording.
o Listen, alternately, to the source and the tape (this can obviously
be done only with a three head deck, which will have a "Monitor" switch
to do this). Using headphones or a good set of control monitors to
listen, adjust the bias knob until the source and the playback sound the
same.
