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. 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).

cut close to connector Fig.3 (2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of the wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to avoid frayed conductors.
15 mm

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. Connector Fig.5 (4) As shown in Fig.6, use the crimping tool to crimp the metal sleeve at the center position. Be sure to crimp fully to the complete closure of the tool. Metal sleeve

Power cord

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.

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.

1.4.2 Precautions for cassette loading in the "SERVICE POSITION" The REC safety board assembly detects cassette loading as well as cassette tabs. Therefore, after the assembly has been removed in the "SERVICE POSITION", it is required to set the switch manually on the REC safety board assembly when a cassette is loaded. 1.4.3 Cassette loading and ejection methods in the "SERVICE POSITION"(See Fig. 1-4-3). (1) Insert a cassette halfway in the Cassette holder assembly. (2) Set the switch on the REC safety board assembly to ON (by pressing the switch). (3) As soon as the cassette starts to be loaded, set the switch on the REC safety board assembly to OFF (by releasing the switch). (4) Now the desired operation (recording, playback, fast forward, rewind, etc.) is possible in this status (the status shown in Fig.1-4-3). Notes: · When performing diagnostics of the tape playback or the recording condition in the "SERVICE POSITION", enter the desired mode before turning the set upside down, and do not change the mode when performing diagnostics while the set is placed upside down. If you want to switch the mode, turn the set to the normal position (the status shown in Fig.1-4-3). · In the "SERVICE POSITION", the cassette tabs cannot be detected and recording becomes possible even with a cassette with broken tabs such as the alignment tape. Be very careful not to erase important tapes. (5) The switch on the REC safety board assembly does not have to be operated when ejecting a tape. But be sure to turn the set to the normal position before ejecting the tape.

1.5 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". 1.5.1 How to set the "MECHANISM SERVICE MODE" (1) Disconnect VCR from AC. (2) Connect TPGND and TP7001 (TEST) on the SW/Display board assembly with a jump wire. (3) Connect VCR to AC. (4) Press the POWER button. (5) With lock levers Åi on the left and right of the Cassette holder assembly pulled toward the front, slide the holder in the same direction as the cassette insertion direction. (For the positions of lock levers Åi, refer to the "Procedures for Lowering the Cassette holder assembly" on pages 1-2 of 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD.) (6) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.

Emergency content description

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

FDP
E01: Loading EMG

CONTENT
When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to another mode even when the loading motor has rotated for more than 4 seconds in the loading direction, [E:01] is identified and the power is turned off.

CAUSE
1 The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition. 2 The mechanism is locked at the loading end due to the encoder position reading error during mode transition. 3 Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. 1 The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition. 2 The mechanism is locked at the unloading end due to the encoder position reading error during mode transition. 3 Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. 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; 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 take-up reel sensor does not output the FG pulse. 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. 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 supply reel sensor does not output the FG pulse. 3 Power is not supplied to the reel sensors. 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 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 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 is 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 The FG sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) 2 The pull-up resistor at the FG 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 FG sensor. 4 The power to the sensor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure) 5 The FG pulse is not sent to the System Controller CPU. 6 The tilt motor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.) 7 The drive power to the tilt motor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure) 8 The tilt motor drive MDA - IC is defective. 9 Auto-recovery of the DD tilting cannot take place due to overrun. 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 FG pulse output from the supply reel sensor is absent. 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 FG pulse output from the take-up reel sensor is absent. 3 The power to a reel sensor is not supplied.

E02: Unloading EMG 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. E03: Take Up Reel Pulse EMG When 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. However, the reel EMG is not detected in STILL/SLOW modes.

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 When the eject operation does not complete in 3 seconds after the start, [E:05] is identified, the pinch rollers EMG are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off. When the cassette insertion operation does not complete in 3 seconds after the start, the cassette is ejected. In addition, when the operation does not complete within 3 seconds after the start, [E:05] is also identified and the power is turned off immediately.

E06: Capstan FG EMG

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 STILL/SLOW/FF/REW modes.

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

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 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). However, note that the reel EMG is not detected in the SLOW/STILL mode.

EC1 or EU1: Head clog warning

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:C1] or [E:U1] is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which a head clog is detected, the FDP and OSD repeat the "3-second warning display" and "7-second 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.

1.7 SERVICING THE VIDEO NAVIGATION FUNCTION The video navigation function is to record data to the built-in FLASH memory of the VCR. At the same time a reference number is wrote on the cassette tape for control purposes. Therefore, the FLASH memory and the cassette tape (selfrecorded tape) form a related pair. If the FLASH memory or the board assembly (in which the FLASH memory is included) is replaced, the video navigation function will not operate. In this case, it is required to copy the video navigation data in the original FLASH memory into the FLASH memory of the unit which the navigation function is available. 1.7.1 Copying the video navigation data Notes: · When copying the video navigation data, initialization of the FLASH memory of the master unit is required. · Connect the JLIP cable to each "JLIP terminal" of the VCR. JLIP Cable (Parts No. : QAM0129-001 or PEAC0453) (1) Turn [OFF] the power of the 2 units (slave and master) VCR and set it without a cassette tape. (2) Press the [PLAY] button of the slave unit for 7 seconds. When the copy mode is set, [1] will be displayed on the FDP.

1.7.2 Erasing the video navigation data (Initialization) This is the service mode to erase all the video navigation data inside the FLASH memory. When a unit is replaced or after an operations check, erase the data which is not required while observing the TV screen. Notes: · During Flash memory initialization, the transmission of the jig code may affect the peripheral VCR. Therefore, when initializing the Flash memory, be sure to unplug the peripheral VCR power cable. · Please take note that after erasing data cannot be restored, therefore care must be exercised. · When using the Jig RCU. set its custom code to match the custom code of the VCR.

SECTION 2 MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
2.1 BEFORE STARTING REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENT 2.1.1 Precautions (1) Unplug the power cable of the main unit before using your soldering iron. (2) Take care not to cause any damage to the conductor wires when plugging and unplugging the connectors. (3) Do not randomly handle the parts without identifying where the trouble is. (4) Exercise enough care not to damage the lugs, etc. during the repair work. (5) When installing the front panel assembly, be sure to hook the lug on the back side of the cassette door to the door opener of the cassette holder. If this operation is neglected it will not be possible to remove the cassette when ejecting because the housing door cannot be opened.

2.1.3 Manually Removing the Cassette Tape 1. In case of electrical failures If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because of any electrical failure, manually remove it by taking the following steps. (1) Unplug the power cable and remove the top cover, bracket and front panel assembly. (See 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD.) (2) Unload the cassette by manually turning the loading motor of the mechanism assembly toward the front. In doing so, hold the tape by the hand to keep the slack away from any grease. (See Fig.2-1-3a.) (3) Bring the pole base assembly (supply or take-up side) to a pause when it reaches the position where it is hidden behind the cassette tape. (4) Move the top guide toward the drum while holding down the lug A of the bracket retaining the top guide. Likewise hold part B down and remove the top guide. Section C of the top guide is then brought under the cassette lid. Then remove the top guide by pressing the whole cassette tape down. (See Fig.2-1-3b.) (5) Remove the cassette tape by holding both the slackened tape and the cassette lid. (6) Take up the slack of the tape into the cassette. This completes removal of the cassette tape. Fig. 2-1-3a

2. In case of mechanical failure If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because of any mechanical failure, manually remove it by taking the following steps. (1) Unplug the power cable and remove the top cover, front panel assembly and others so that the mechanism assembly is visible. (See 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD.) (2) While keeping the tension arm assembly of the mechanism assembly free from tension, pull the tape on the pole base assembly (supply or take-up side) out of the guide roller. (See Fig.2-1-3c.) (3) Take the spring of the pinch roller arm assembly off the hook of the press lever assembly, and detach it from the tape. (See Fig.2-1-3d.) (4) In the same way as in the electrical failure instructions in 2.1.3-1(4), remove the top guide. (5) Raise the cassette tape cover. By keeping it in that position, draw out the cassette tape case from the cassette holder and take out the tape. (6) By hanging the pinch roller arm assembly spring back on the hook, take up the slack of the tape into the cassette.

2.1.5 Maintenance and Inspection 1. Location of major mechanical parts In this chapter, the two mechanism speeds are described by comparing the speeds of the standard type and the high-speed FF/REW type. It is possible to distinguish between these two types of mechanism by the diameters of their capstan pulleys. The capstan pulley diameter for the standard type is approx. 32 mm. The capstan pulley diameter for the high-speed FF/REW type is approx. 43 mm. For information on the different parts used in the two mechanism types, please refer to the "Replacement of major parts".

2. 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. (1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video head), soak a piece of closely woven cloth or Kimu-wipe with alcohol and while holding the cloth onto the upper drum by the fingers, turn the upper drum counterclockwise. Note: · Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically as this will cause damage to the video head. (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 video tape. 3. 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.
