  The original TASCAM 122 is pictured here. The part encircled in red is a front-panel, user adjustable section for bias and eq with a preset that allows you to tweak the bias and eq to match the tape you're using. When you want to use that particular bias & eq setting, you press the "preset" button on the right to recall that setting.

  On the TEAC C-series machines, there's an optional plug-in card slot on the front of the deck. If you can find the card (a big if, they're scarce.) it'll give you the same feature as the 122.

  Cheers,
  Bobbo :-)

    have you ever set that yourself, if so, what's the procedure ?

    I just bought a C-3x Teac deck with that option in it

    I'd imagine you have to tape onto the cassette in question with a built-in test tone, then adjust the little screws there ?

    this one has that adjustable option, not a standard card with no adjustment
