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.
Fig.1
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 com-
ply 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: Partsin this categoryalsoinclude those specifiedto com-
ply 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.
Power cord
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
compliancewith recognized codespertaining to X-rayemission.
Consequently, whenservicing theseproducts,replace thecath-
ode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts.
Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.
Unauthorizedmodification canincrease thehigh voltage value
and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.
12. Crimp type wire connector
Insuch cases as whenreplacing the powertransformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power
transformerprimarylead wiresare performedusingcrimptype
connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in or-
der 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) Removethe old connectorby cuttingthe wires ata point
close to the connector.
Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).
Fig.7
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

vPrecautions during Servicing
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.

v 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 compli-
ance 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
Confirmspecified dielectric strength or greaterbetween power cord plug prongsand 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’) be-
tween soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic parts. See table 1
below.
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 accessi-
ble parts. Use an AC voltmeter to measure across both terminals of load Z. See figure 9 and
following table 2.
5. Grounding (Class 1 model only)
Confirm specified or lower grounding impedance between earth pin in AC inlet and externally exposed accessible parts (Video in,
Video out, Audio in, Audio out or Fixing screw etc.).
Measuring Method:
Connect milli ohm meter between earth pin in AC inlet and exposed accessible parts. See figure 10 and grounding specifications.

SECTION 1
DISASSEMBLY
1.1 Manually removing the cassette tape
If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded be-
cause of any electrical or mechanical failures, manually remove
it by taking the following steps.
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
(2) Refer to the disassembly procedure of the VCR and perform
the disassembly of the major parts before removing the
mechanism assembly. (See Fig. 1-1a.)
Fig. 1-1b
Fig. 1-1c
(3) Unload the pole base assembly by manually turning the gear
of the loading motor until the pole base assembly is hidden
behind the cassette lid. In doing so, hold the tape by the hand
to keep the slack away from any grease. (See Fig. 1-1b.)
In case of mechanical failures, while keeping the tension arm
assembly free from tension, pull out the tape on the pole
base assembly. Take the spring(a) of the pinch roller arm
assembly off the hook, and detach it from the tape.
(4) Remove the screw (a) of the side frame (L/R).
(5) Hold the slack tape and cassette cover together, lift the cas-
sette tape, top frame, cassette holder and side frames (L,
R) together from the rear and remove them by dis-engaging
the hooks (a) and (b).

1.3.4 EMG content description
Note:
EMG contents “E08/E09” are for the model with Dynamic Drum (DD).
Table 1-3-4a
If the mechanism mode does not change to the next mode within 4 sec-
onds 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 sec-
onds in the unloading direction, [E:02] is identified and the power
is turned off.
When the falling edje of the take-up reel pulse has not been gen-
erated 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 mecha-
nism should be in position after tape loading. Note that the reel
EMG is not detected during Slow/Frame advance operations.
When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more than 3 sec-
onds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is identified, the pinch roll-
ers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.
If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7
seconds after the cassette housing has started the cassette ejec-
tion 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 pulling-
in 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.
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 identi-
fied, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.
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.
When the falling edge of the supply reel pulse has not been gen-
erated 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 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.)
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. Ejec-
tion 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.
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 sup-
plied 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 (occur-
rence 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. 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 (5V) 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 re-
moved 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 take-up 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.
FDP CONTENT CAUSE
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) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the dis-
assembly of the major parts before removing the Mecha-
nism 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 assem-
blies.
(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 as-
sembly.
Notes:
•
Before inserting the power cord plug into the power out-
let, make sure that none of the electrical parts are able to
short-circuit between the workbench and the board as-
sembly.
•
For the disassembly procedure of the major parts and de-
tails 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 im-
properly 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 cas-
sette 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 up-
side 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 di-
agnosis or repair of the boards in the “Service position”,
make sure that the connectors are not disconnected.
Fig. 1-4-1a
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 com-
pleted, 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.
1.5 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 servic-
ing.

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 VCR to the Jig RCU mode as
initial setting.
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 simulta-
neously. Alternatively, transmit the code “80” from the Jig
RCU.

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 serv-
iced.
When the video head, tape guide and/or brush get soiled, the
playback picture may appear inferior or at worst disappear, re-
sulting 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 com-
pletely dry before using the cassette tape.
Fig. 1-7-1a
1.7.2 Lubrication
With no need for periodical lubrication, you have only to lubri-
cate new parts after replacement. If any oil or grease on con-
tact 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.
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 en-
vironmental and usage conditions. However, the indicated com-
ponents 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.

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/play-
back), 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.3-2-2a.)

3.1.7 EVR adjustment
Some of the adjustments require the adjustment performed
by the EVR system. The main unit have EEPROMs for stor-
ing 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 adjust-
ment 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.
• As the counter indication and remaining tape indica-
tion are not displayed FDP during the EVR adjustment
mode, check them on the TV monitor screen.
• When performing the EVR adjustment, confirm that the
FDP indication is changed to the EVR mode, as shown
below.

3.2.3 Height and tilt of the A/C head
Note:
• Set a temporary level of the height of the A/C head in
advance to make the adjustment easier after the A/C
head has been replaced. (See “section 2 mechanism”.)
(1) Play back the alignment tape (A).
(2) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe
the AUDIO OUT waveform and Control pulse waveform
at the measuring points (D1) and (D2) in the ALT mode.
(3) Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode.
(4) Adjust the AUDIO OUT waveform and Control pulse
waveform by turning the screws (1), (2) and (3) little by
little until both waveforms reach maximum. The screw (1)

Make sure that there is no significant level drop of the V.PB
FM waveform caused by the tracking operation, with its
generally parallel and linear variation ensured. Perform the
following adjustments when required. (See Fig. 3-2-2b.)
(5) Reduce the V.PB FM waveform by the tracking opera-
tion. If a drop in level is found on the left side, turn the
guide roller of the pole base assembly (supply side) with
the roller driver to make the V.PB FM waveform linear.
If a drop in level is on the right side, likewise turn the guide
roller of the pole base assembly (take-up side) with the
roller driver to make it linear. (See Fig. 3-2-2b.)
(6) Make sure that the V.PB FM waveform varies in parallel
and linearly with the tracking operation again. When re-
quired, perform fine-adjustment of the guide roller of the
pole base assembly (supply or take-up side).
(7) Unload the cassette tape once, play back the alignment
tape (A1) again and confirm the V.PB FM waveform.
(8)
After adjustment, confirm that the tape wrinkling does not
occur at the roller upper or lower limits. (See Fig. 3-2-2a.)
[Perform adjustment step (9) only for the models
equipped with SP mode and EP (or LP) mode.]
