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. symbol and shaded ( ) parts are 2. Parts identified by the 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).

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.

Note: EMG contents "E08/E09" are for the model with Dynamic Drum (DD).

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 malfunctions 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 malfunctions 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. 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.

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.

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. When DD tilting does not complete in 4 seconds, [E:08] is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.

E09:

When the DD FG pulse is not generated within 2.5 seconds, [E:09] is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.

E0A: Supply Reel Pulse EMG

When the falling edge of the supply reel pulse has not been generated for more than 10 seconds in the capstan rotating mode, [E:0A] is identified and the cassette is ejected (but the power is not turned off). In this case, however, the mechanism should be in the position after tape loading (with the tape up against the pole base). Also note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/ Frame advance operations.

1. The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because; 1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cassette is cut in the middle; 2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the supply reel side of the cassette shell. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate until the tape slack is removed by the FWD transport, so the pulse is not generated until then; 3) The reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure. 2. The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport mode (REV SEARCH/ REW, etc.). 1) REV SEARCH/REW is started when the tape in the inserted cassette has been cut in the middle; 2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the take-up reel side of the cassette shell. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate until the tape slack is removed by the REV transport, so the pulse will not be generated until that time; 3) The reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a take-up reel sensor failure. 3. The power (SW 5V) to a reel sensor is not supplied.

EU1: Head clog warning history

Presupposing the presence of the control pulse output in the PLAY mode, when the value obtained by mixing the two V.FM output channels (without regard to the A.FM output) has remained below a certain threshold level for more than 10 seconds, [E:U1] is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which the head clog is detected, the FDP shows "U:01" and the OSD repeats the "3 seconds of warning display" and the "7 seconds of noise picture display" alternately. EMG code : "E:C1" or "E:U1" / FDP : "U:01" / OSD : "Try cleaning tape." or "Use cleaning cassette." The head clog warning is reset when the above-mentioned threshold has been exceeded for more than 2 seconds or the mode is changed to another mode than PLAY.

1.4 Service position This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism and Main board assemblies can be removed together from the chassis assembly. Before diagnosing or servicing the circuit boards, take out the major parts from the chassis assembly. 1.4.1 How to set the "Service position"

1.5

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. 1.5.1 Setting the Jig RCU mode (1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet. (2) Press and hold the "REC" and "PAUSE" buttons on the VCR simultaneously, while plugging the power cord plug into the power outlet. When the VCR is set to the Jig RCU mode, the symbols ( " : " ) in the time display of the FDP are turned off. 1.5.2 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. 1.6 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". 1.6.1 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. 1.6.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode" (1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.

(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 assembly to the Chassis assembly. If any other screws are used to fix the boards, remove them also. (3) Remove the combined Mechanism 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. 1-2-2d.) (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 "1.2 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.

1.7 Maintenance and inspection 1.7.1 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.

1.7.3 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.

SECTION 2 DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING OF MECHANISM
1. Before disassembling/assembling 1.1 Notes This model's mechanism relates closely to the rotary encoder and system control circuit (the rotary encoder is meshed with the control cam). The system circuit detects the mechanism condition using the rotary encoder's phase (internal switch phase). Therefore, the parts such as the rotary encoder, control plate, locking gear and control cam need to be installed correctly in order for the mechanism to operate properly. (For the mechanism phase adjustment, refer to the installation of each part.) · For the disassembling procedure of the main parts of the main unit and notes, refer to the "Specific items for the product". · Before using a soldering iron, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet. · Do not touch any of the adjustment points until a defect position is specified. · When plugging or unplugging the connector, be sure not to damage the wire. · Be sure the springs are hooked all the way around and in the correct direction. · When performing repairs, take care not to damage a catch, etc. 1.3 Setting the mechanism assembling mode The mechanism-assembling mode is provided with this mechanism. When disassembling and assembling, it is required to engage this mode. Set the mode by adopting the following procedures. (1) Remove the mechanism assembly using the disassembling procedure. (2) Turn gear (a) of the loading motor manually to set the mechanism assembly to the eject end mode. Make sure that the main deck is connected to the guide hole (a) of the drive lever and the seal (a) of the main deck is connected to the mark "E" of the control plate. This condition is called the mechanism-assembling mode.
