1. SERVICE NOTE ENGLISH JAPANESE

1-1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.

Method:
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L15A).




1-2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Refer to "2. DISASSEMBLY" to remove the mechanism deck block.
2 Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

11 Perform "PSD Sensor Gradient Adjustment". (Note 1)
12 Turn the power OFF and ON again.
13 Check that no error occurs. If an error occurs, replace the lens block (Note 2).

Note 1: Perform adjustment by referring to "SD Sensor Gradient Adjustment" in Service Manual, ADJ. After the adjustment, be
sure to perform "Optical Axis Adjustment" and "Angular Velocity Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment".
Note 2: When the lens block was replaced, execute a necessary adjustment items referring to Service Manual, ADJ.
After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the
handheld operation.

Check if the shift lens moves while setting the order 3 to 8. If the shift lens does not move, replace the
11
lens block (Note 2). When the shift lens moved, proceed to the order 12.
While setting the order 3 to 8, measure with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R6242 in the periphery of
12
IC6203 on the YY-003 board to check the output voltage varies.
If the output voltage does not vary, replace the lens block (Note 2). When the output voltage varied,
13
proceed to the order 14.
14 Turn the power OFF.
While measuring with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R6233 in the periphery of IC6203 on the
15
YY-003 board, turn the power ON to check that the output voltage immediately after the power on
change as shown in Fig. 2.
If the output voltage change as shown in Fig. 2, replace the lens block (Note 2). If it does not change as
16
shown in Fig. 2, inspect the camera control circuit (IC4201 of TT-003 board) periphery.

Note 1: Finish this operation within 10 seconds. If it is likely to take more than 10 seconds, set page: D (7D), address: 48, data:
00, and then retry.
Note 2: When the lens block was replaced, execute a necessary adjustment items referring to Service Manual, ADJ.
After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the
handheld operation.

· Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of bent at the terminal. Cut and remove the part of gilt
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly. which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
· When remove a connector, don't pull at wire of connector. It is possible that a wire is snapped. pieces of gilt may be left inside)

· When installing a connector, don't press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.




NOTE FOR DISCONNECTING THE HARNESS (COAXIAL CABLE)

When disconnecting the harness (coaxial cable), do not pull the
harness part but pull off the connector body with tweezers etc.
