Important Safety Precautions
Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions when a set is being serviced.

Precautions during Servicing
1. Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels and inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the product. When performing service, be sure to read and comply with these and other cautionary notices appearing in the operation and service manuals. 2. Parts identified by the symbol and shaded ( ) parts are critical for safety. Replace only with specified part numbers. Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to comply with X-ray emission standards for products using cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance with various regulations regarding spurious radiation emission. 3. Fuse replacement caution notice. Caution for continued protection against fire hazard. Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified. 4. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially: 1) Wires covered with PVC tubing 2) Double insulated wires 3) High voltage leads 5. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts. Note especially: 1) Insulation Tape 3) Spacers 5) Barrier 2) PVC tubing 4) Insulation sheets for transistors 6. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers, power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of wires securely about the terminals before soldering. Fig.4 (3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the wires fully into the connector. Fig.1 7. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts (heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.) 8. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or pointed parts. 9. When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15 kg of force in any direction will not loosen it. 12. Crimp type wire connector In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets where the connections between the power cord and power transformer primary lead wires are performed using crimp type connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order to prevent safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely according to the following steps. 1) Connector part number : E03830-001 2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type which will not damage insulated parts. 3) Replacement procedure (1) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a point close to the connector. Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).

Crimping tool

Fig.2 10. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations. 11. Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs) In regard to such products, the cathode ray tubes themselves, the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission. Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cathode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts. Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits. Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.

Safety Check after Servicing
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts and wires have been returned to original positions, Afterwards, perform the following tests and confirm the specified values in order to verify compliance with safety standards. 1. Insulation resistance test Confirm the specified insulation resistance or greater between power cord plug prongs and externally exposed parts of the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See table 1 below. 2. Dielectric strength test Confirm specified dielectric strength or greater between power cord plug prongs and exposed accessible parts of the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See table 1 below. 3. Clearance distance When replacing primary circuit components, confirm specified clearance distance (d), (d') between soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic parts. See table 1 below. Chassis Fig. 8 4. Leakage current test Confirm specified or lower leakage current between earth ground/power cord plug prongs and externally exposed accessible parts (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). Measuring Method : (Power ON) Insert load Z between earth ground/power cord plug prongs and externally exposed accessible parts. Use an AC voltmeter to measure across both terminals of load Z. See figure 9 and following table 2.

When an attempted operation of the operation buttons is not accepted, set the compulsory eject mode as described below before removing the tape. CAUTION This mode is effective only when the electrical and mechanical systems of the mechanism unit are normal and a tape ejection operation is not accepted due to a problem of the electrical system. If there is a problem in the mechanical system of the unit, this mode may be ineffective. If compulsory ejection is performed in such a case, the tape could be damaged or cut.

(3) Apply 3 V DC to the electrodes at the top of the loading motor (red wire to + pole, brown wire to - pole) to unload the tape. Unload it little by little because it could be damaged or contaminated by grease if the pole base assemblies are returned completely beyond the position of the tape.

Brown wire Red wire

Fig. 1-5-2(1) (1) Remove the Top cover (see section 1.2.3). (2) With the power supply on, short-circuit TP107 on the DV MAIN board with the GND using a wire, etc. (3) Forced ejection is activated to eject the tape. (4) If the tape slackens, take it up by rotating the shaft at the top of the capstan motor in the direction of the arrow using a sharp-tipped object (chip IC replacement tool, etc.). (5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) above until the tape is taken up completely. (6) After confirming that the tape has been taken up completely, rotate the gear of the cassette housing assembly in the direction of the arrow in order to eject the cassette tape.

DV MAIN board TP107
Fig. 1-5-1 1.5.2 Tape Ejection without Using the Forced Eject Mode Activate the loading motor by applying DC voltage to its two terminals. NOTE When a forced ejection is not accepted because the loaded cassette tape cannot be ejected due to a fault in the electrical system or because of some problem in the mechanism unit, eject the tape by using the following procedure. However, as this mode drives the loading motor, it assumes that the mechanical system is operating normally. (1) Turn off the power supply to the unit. (2) Flip open the DV MAIN board to expose the mechanism (see section 1.3.1). 1-8 Shaft Fig. 1-5-2(2) Gear

1.5.3 Manual Tape Ejection If the loading motor cannot be run by the procedure outlined in section 1.8.2, the mechanism may be defective. When the loading motor is defective, remove the tape as described below. (1) Remove the DVC unit from the main unit. See section 1.2.6 for the removal method. (2) After removing the DVC unit, remove the DV MAIN board . (3) Remove the 2 screws and remove the active head cleaner assembly (see section 1.4.2). (4) Remove the side cover to easy operation (see section 1.4.2). (5) Remove the 2 screws and remove the rear panel from the side of the PR & MDA board. Carefully unplug the wires so as not to damage them, then remove the PR & MDA board (see section 1.4.2).

Fig. 1-5-3(1) (6) Remove the 2 screws 1 and remove the active head cleaner stay. Gear Fig. 1-5-3(4) (10) The pole base assemblies should be unloaded little by little. If they are returned completely beyond the position of the tape, the tape may slacken and become damaged or stained by grease. (11) If the tape slackens, take it up by rotating the shaft on the top of the capstan motor in the direction of the arrow using a sharp-tipped object (chip IC replacement tool, etc.) (see section 1.5.2-(4)). (12) Repeat steps (9) and (10) above until the tape is taken up completely. (13) After confirming that the tape has been taken up completely, tighten the cassette housing retaining screws which were loosened in step (6). (14) Attach and clamp the cassette housing again, then rotate the gear of the housing assembly in the direction of the arrow to eject the cassette tape in the same way as in section 1.5.2-(6).

1.8 EEPROMs The EEPROMs are memories that can be erased or written electrically. As they hold the data required for VCR operations, adjustments and setup are required after replacing an EEPROM (also after replacing circuit boards). The following table shows the circuit boards and storage contents of the EEPROMs used in the set. EEPROM Stored Data After Replacement DC MAIN board Adjustment data for All data erased. adjustment software IC103 Hour meter data All data reset. Error history IEEE1394 ID data DV MAIN board Not used IC106 AUD S / S board Setup menu setting data IC508 All data erased. ID data erased.

[B] Load EEPROM Internal Data The EEPROM provided with the new board for replacement contains no data, while the EEPROM originally provided with the VCR unit contains the IEEE1394 ID data as well as all adjustment data written in the assembly and adjustments written on the production line. This means that the new VCR unit will not function if the new EEPROM is used in the condition in which it is delivered. When replacing the DV MAIN board, load the internal data of the EEPROM on the original board to the EEPROM of the new board. (1) How to use original EEPROM to new DV MAIN board. Remove the EEPROM from the original DV MAIN board, and attach the chip to the new board. (2) How to write data from the original board to the new EEPROM How to load all parameters in EEPROM on original board to new EEPROM by using the adjustment software. (For details, see section 3.7.13) (3) In case of original EEPROM on the original DV MAIN board was broken. Load the default data before making adjustments with the adjustment software, write the data in the new EEPROM, then make adjustments by following the adjustment procedures. (See section 3.7.12 for details.) And then, input the ID number on the original board to new EEPROM by using the adjustment software. (See section 3.7.13 for details.)

CAUTION FOR REPLACING THE DV MAIN BOARD AND AUD S/S BOARD

When the DV MAIN board or AUD S/S board has been replaced for servicing, be sure to enforce the following items. 1.9.1 DV MAIN Board [A] About the ID Management Label Each VCR unit carries an ID label in compliance with IEEE1394 showing the unique ID assigned on the production line. (See the following figure for the label position.) When replacing the DV MAIN board, remove the ID management label that was provided originally with the unit from the defective board and attach it in the same position to the new board.
DV MAIN board

1.9.2 AUD S/S Board The AUD S/S board EEPROM that stores the setup menu is IC508. While the corresponding EEPROM in the GY-DV500 stores the model ID for use in running the SSF function, the EEPROM in the BR-DV600 does not store the model ID because it does not handle the SSF function but simply reproduces SSF data.

1.10 BACKUP OF TIME DATA The BR-DV600 uses a polyacene battery (C40) to back up the LCD microcomputer on the Front board assembly. This is the same battery as that used in the SR-9070 and a secondary battery with a capacity of more than 2 F (Farads). It is capable of backup for about 60 hours with only 6 hours of power supply (OPERATE ON), the backed up data includes the following: (1) TC generator data (In the free run mode, the count continues even during backup.) (2) Date and time data for sub-codes. (3) CTL counter data. 1.10.1 Backup Circuit The backup current to the polyacene battery is switched by IC10 on the Front board. When UNSW + 5 V drops below 4.6 V, this IC switches the microcomputer power to the LCD to the polyacene battery. At this time, IC10 sets the CS output to the Low level, the LCD microcomputer switches the clock oscillator to the power-saving X2 and functions in the sleep mode. The PRE END output is used to detect the battery voltage when a lithium battery is used. Although it provides the feedback signal to the microcomputer, the BR-DV600 does not utilize it. IC13 LCD CPU

1.11 SET UP SW (U-MODEL ONLY) Menu SW No. 125 is the SET UP ON/OFF switch. Its setting affects the recording and playback of analog video signals. · Recording signals .. This switch varies the sampling level for A/D conversion of the input signal. · Playback signals .... This switch adds the setup level to the playback signal.

Set the switch correctly in accordance with the input signal. If the input signal contains the setup level while the SET UP SW is set to OFF, the input signal will be A/D converted and recorded together with the setup level component. If a tape, which has been recorded in such a way, is played on a VCR that is set to SET UP ON, a double setup will result. Note: When setting menu switch No.108 [VIDEO INPUT SELECT] to IEEE1394 even if menu switch No.125 [SET UP] is set to on position, set up signals will not be provided to DV output and analog output. If you would like to provide set up signals when playback, set menu switch No.108[VIDEO INPUT SELECT] to LINE or Y/C or COMPONENT position (except IEEE1394).

1.12 EDITING SYSTEM USING THE BR-DV600 Since the BR-DV600 is basically a feeder VCR, it should be used as the player when building an editing system. Using the JVC bus with the controller may also support its use as an editor. However, note that in this case it is only capable of assembly editing and cannot be used in insert editing. At the time of shipment, the system configurations for which connections are guaranteed are as shown below. 1.12.1 Control with JVC bus Applicable controller: RM-G800 only.

Fig. 1-12-1 NOTES (1) BR-DV600 does not support CTL editing. Set it to TIMECODE editing. (2) As the RM-G800 has been optimized for connection with the SR-S365 (PAL : SR-S388E), it may take a longer time for cue up when it is used with the BR-DV600. (3) As the RM-G800 does not have the BUMP function, BUMP does not operate even when the BR-S800 is used as the recorder. (4) (5) (6) (7) The editing accuracy of the RM-G800 is about ±5 frames. As the BR-DV600 does not have framing servo, pictures may be edited at the 2nd field. During editing using the RM-G800, preview is not available if the BR-DV600 is used as the recorder. When the RM-G800U remote controller is used, the counter, etc. may malfunction due to interference generated by the peripheral equipment. In this case, set the clamp core to the controller cable.
