Alignment of Dolby model 363 with SR cards on a Studer A80/R part 1.

Alignment of Dolby model 363 with SR cards on a Studer A80/R part 1.

In this video I will do the alignment of a Dolby 363 unit equipped with Dolby SR cards (350) connected to a Studer A80/R.
I will walk through the steps in the manual.
I am not a professional engineer so this video is not intended as a tutorial.
I apologise for the annoying clicks in the audio; apparently my camera - Galaxy S8 has this kind of audio bug.

Aligned those a zillion times. I loved the huge multitrack model (forget the model number) with auto-align (great for orchestra dates)😅

Awesome video! About to use my 363 for the first time. I hope it's in as good shape as yours, and that I can figure it out.

Ignore the manual, you have to calibrate 363 with the help of oscilloscope, that would help with not only the intensity of playback and recording green lights in the front, but also the actual numbers of input and output of the unit. What you are doing is NOT correct.
