Precautions for Service

Handling of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup Do not touch any peripheral element of the pickup or the actuator. The traverse unit and the pickup are precision devices and therefore must not be subjected to strong shock. Do not use a tester to examine the laser diode. (The diode can easily be destroyed by the internal power supply of the tester.) To replace the traverse unit, pull out the metal short pin for protection from charging. When replacing the pickup, after mounting a new pickup, remove the solder on the short land which is provided at the center of the flexible wire to open the circuit. (6) Half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment are adjusted in pairs at shipment to match the characteristics of the optical block. Do not change the setting of these half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment.

1.4.2 Destruction of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup by Static Electricity Laser diodes are easily destroyed by static electricity charged on clothingor the human body. Before repairing peripheral elements of the traverse unit or pickup, be sure to take the following electrostatic protection: (1) Wear an antistatic wrist wrap. (2) With a conductive sheet or a steel plate on the workbench on which the traverse unit or the pick up is to be repaired, ground the sheet or the plate. (3) It solders to two short circuit sections on the substrate of a pick-up. (4) After removing the flexible wire from the connector (CN101), short-circuit the flexible wire by the metal clip. (5) Short-circuit the laser diode by soldering the land which is provided at the center of the flexible wire for the pickup. After completing the repair, remove the solder to open the circuit.

2.2 Service position This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism and Main board assemblies can be removed together from the bottom chassis. Before diagnosing or servicing the circuit boards, take out the major parts from the bottom chassis. 2.2.1 How to set the "Service position" (1) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the disassembly of the major parts before removing the Mechanism assembly. (2) Remove the screws that fix the Mechanism, Regulator board assembly to the bottom chassis. If any other screws are used to fix the boards, remove them also. (3) Remove the combined Mechanism,Regulator borad and Main board assemblies. (4) If any other major parts are used, remove them also. (5) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig. 2-2a.) (6) Place the combined Mechanism, Main board and other board assemblies upside down. (7) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet and then proceed with the diagnostics and servicing of the board assembly. Notes: · Before inserting the power cord plug into the power outlet, make sure that none of the electrical parts are able to short-circuit between the workbench and the board assembly. · For the disassembly procedure of the major parts and details of the precautions to be taken, see "Removing the major parts". · If there are wire connections from the Main board and Mechanism assemblies to the other major parts, be sure to remove them (including wires connected to the major parts) first before performing step (2). · When carrying out diagnosis and repair of the Main board assembly in the "Service position", be sure to ground both the Main board and Mechanism assemblies. If they are improperly grounded, there may be noise on the playback picture or FDP counter display may move even when the mechanism is kept in an inoperative status. · In order to diagnose the playback or recording of the cassette tape, set the Mechanism assembly to the required mode before placing it upside down. If the mechanism mode is changed (including ejection) while it is in an upside down position the tape inside may be damaged. · For some models, the mechanism and board assemblies are attached by connectors only. When carrying out a diagnosis or repair of the boards in the "Service position", make sure that the connectors are not disconnected.

Fig.2-2a 2.3 Jig RCU mode This unit uses the following two modes for receiving remote control codes. (1) User RCU mode:Ordinary mode for use by the user. (2) Jig RCU mode: Mode for use in production and servicing. When using the Jig RCU, it is required to set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes from the Jig RCU can be received). As both of the above two modes are stored in the EEPROM, it is required to set the VCR back to the User RCU mode each time that an adjustment is made or to check that the necessary operations have been completed.These modes can be set by the operations described below. Note: · Confirm the RCU mode when exchanged parts. Since some SERVICE PARTS sets the VCR to the Jig RCU mode as initial setting. Therefore please set the VCR to the user RCU mode after replacing the EEPROM.

When the VCR is set to the Jig RCU mode, the symbols ( " : " ) in the time display of the FDP are turned off. (Refer to Fig.2-3a)

(No.YD002)1-9

2.3.2 Setting the User RCU mode (1) Turn off the power. (2) Press the "REC" and "PAUSE" buttons of the VCR simultaneously. Alternatively, transmit the code "80" from the Jig RCU. 2.4 Mechanism service mode This model has a unique function to enter the mechanism into every operation mode without loading of any cassette tape. This function is called the "Mechanism service mode". 2.4.1 How to set the "Mechanism service mode" (1) Set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes from the Jig RCU can be received) (2) Transmit the code "E5" from the Jig RCU. (3) Release the lug of the Cassette holder and then slide the Cassette holder toward the direction where the Cassette holder is loaded by manually. (4) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode. When the VCR is set to the Mechanism service mode, the symbols ("Timer") in the FDP (LED) are blinked. 2.4.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode" (1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet. 2.5 Maintenance and inspection 2.5.1 Cleaning Regular cleaning of the transport system parts is desirable but practically impossible. So make it a rule to carry out cleaning of the tape transport system whenever the machine is serviced. When the video head, tape guide and/or brush get soiled, the playback picture may appear inferior or at worst disappear, resulting in possible tape damage. Note: · Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically as this will cause damage to the video head. (1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video head), soak a piece of closely woven cloth with alcohol and while holding the cloth onto the upper drum by the fingers, turn the upper drum counterclockwise. (2) To clean the parts of the tape transport system other than the upper drum, use a piece of closely woven cloth or a cotton swab soaked with alcohol. (3) After cleaning, make sure that the cleaned parts are completely dry before using the cassette tape.

2.5.2 Lubrication With no need for periodical lubrication, you have only to lubricate new parts after replacement. If any oil or grease on contact parts is soiled, wipe it off and newly lubricate the parts. Note: · See the "mechanism assembly" diagram of the "parts list" for the lubricating or greasing spots, and for the types of oil or grease to be used. 2.5.3 Suggested servicing schedule for main components The following table indicates the suggested period for such service measures as cleaning, lubrication and replacement. In practice, the indicated periods will vary widely according to environmental and usage conditions. However, the indicated components should be inspected when a set is brought for service and the maintenance work performed if necessary. Also note that rubber parts may deform in time, even if the set is not used.

4.1.7 EVR Adjustment Some of the electrical adjustments require the adjustment performed by the EVR system. The main unit have EEPROMs for storing the EVR adjustment data and user setups. Notes: · In the EVR adjustment mode, the value is varied with the channel buttons (+, ­). The adjusted data is stored when the setting mode changes (from PB to STOP, when the tape speed is changed, etc.). Take care to identify the current mode of each adjustment item when making an adjustment. · When changing the address setting in the EVR adjustment mode, use the Jig RCU or the remote controller having numeric keypad with which a numeric code can be directly input. The remote control code of the Jig RCU corresponds to each of the digit keys on the remote controller as follows.
Digit-key Code 0 20 1 21 2 22 3 23 4 24 5 25 6 26 7 27 8 28 9 29

4.2 Mechanism compatibility adjustment [VHS SECTION] Notes: · Although compatibility adjustment is very important, it is not necessary to perform this as part of the normal servicing work. It will be required when you have replaced the A/C head, drum assembly or any part of the tape transport system. · To prevent damaging the alignment tape in the compatibility adjustment, prepare a cassette tape (for self-recording/ playback), perform a test on it by transporting it and making sure that the tape is not bent by the tape transport mechanisms such as in the guide rollers.(See Fig.4-2b.) 4.2.1 Tension pole position Notes: · This adjustment must be performed every time the tension band is replaced.

FDP
E01: Loading EMG

CONTENT
If the mechanism mode does not change to the next mode within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, while the mechanism is in the after-loading position (with the tape up against the pole base), [E:01] is identified and the power is switched OFF. However, if the tape loading is not completed within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, the tape is simply unloaded and ejected. No EMG data is recorded in this case. When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to another mode even when the loading motor has rotated for more than 4 seconds in the unloading direction, [E:02] is identified and the power is turned off.

CAUSE
1. The mechanism is locked in the middle of the mode transition during a tape loading operation. 2. The mechanism overruns during the tape loading operation because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This problem is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure. 3. Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)

E02: Unloading EMG

1. The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition. 2. Without an eject signal being sent from the SYSCON, unloading is attempted (i.e. Ejection is attempted while the tape is still inside the mechanism.) because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure. (Mechanism position: UPPER) 3. Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.) 1. The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport modes (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because; 1) The idler gear is not meshed with the take-up reel gear because the mechanism mal-functions for some reason. 2) The idler gear is meshed with the take-up reel gear, but incapable of winding due to too large mechanical load (abnormal tension); 3) The reel is rotating normally but an FG pulse is not generated due to the take-up reel sensor failure. 2. The supply reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport modes (REV SEARCH/REW, etc.) because; 1) The idler gear is not meshed with the supply reel gear because the mechanism mal-functions for some reason. 2) The idler gear is meshed with the supply reel gear, but incapable of winding due to too large a mechanical load (abnormal tension); 3) The reel rotates normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure. 3. Power(SW5V) is not supplied to the reel sensor on the tape winding side.

E03: Take Up Reel Pulse EMG

When the falling edje of the take-up reel pulse has not been generated for more than 4 seconds in the capstan rotating mode, [E:03] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off. In this case, however, the mechanism should be in position after tape loading. Note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/Frame advance operations.

E04: Drum FG EMG

When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more than 3 seconds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.

1. The drum could not start or the drum rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because; 1) The tape tension is abnormally high; 2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape. 2. The drum FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because; 1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle; 2) The FG pulse generator (hall device) of the drum is faulty. 3. The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA. 4. Power (M12V) is not supplied to the drum MDA. 1. The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of the housing. 2. When the housing load increases during ejection, the loading motor is stopped because of lack of headroom in its drive torque. Housing load increasing factors: Temperature environment (low temperature, etc.), mechanism wear or failure. 3. The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally. 4. The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power (M12V) is not supplied to the motor (MDA). 5. When the user attempted to eject a cassette, a foreign object (or perhaps the user's hand) was caught in the opening of the housing. 1. The capstan could not start or the capstan rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because; 1) The tape tension is abnormally high (mechanical lock); 2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) is adhered to the tape (occurrence of tape entangling, etc.). 2. The capstan FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because; 1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle; 2) The FG pulse generator (MR device) of the capstans is faulty. 3. The capstan control voltage (CAPSTAN CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA. 4. Power (M12V, SW5V) are not supplied to the capstan MDA. 1. The SW 5 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND. 2. The SW 12 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND. 1. The absolute value sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) 2. The pull-up resistor at the absolute sensor output is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) 3. Contact failure or soldering failure of the pins of the connector (board-to-board) to the absolute value sensor. 4. The absolute value sensor data is not sent to the System Controller CPU. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. The FG sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) The pull-up resistor at the FG sensor output is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) Contact failure or soldering failure of the pins of the connector (board-to-board) to the FG sensor. The power (5V) to the sensor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure) The FG pulse is not sent to the System Controller CPU. The tilt motor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) The drive power to the tilt motor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure) The tilt motor drive MDA - IC is defective. Auto-recovery of the DD tilting cannot take place due to overrun.

E05: Cassette Eject EMG

If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7 seconds after the cassette housing has started the cassette ejection operation, [E:05] is identified, the drive direction is reversed to load the tape, the mode is switched to STOP mode with the pinch roller OFF, and the power is switched OFF. During the cassette insertion process, the drive direction is reversed and the cassette is ejected if the tape is not up against the pole base within about 3 seconds after the start of the cassette pullingin operation. If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7 seconds after the drive mode reversal operation, [E:05] is identified and the power is switched OFF immediately. When the capstan FG pulse has not been generated for more than 1 second in the capstan rotating mode, [E:06] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.However, the capstan EMG is not detected in SLOW/ STILL modes. Note that, if the part number of the System Control IC begins with "MN" or "M3", the capstan EMG is not detected even during the FF/REW operation.

E06: Capstan FG EMG

E07: SW Power Short-Circuit EMG E08: DD Initialized (Absolute Position Sensor) EMG DD FG EMG

When short-circuiting of the SW power supply with GND has lasted for 0.5 second or more, [E:07] is identified, all the motors are stopped and the power is turned off. Wh
