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 in-

scriptions 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 serv-

ice manuals.

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

critical for safety.

Replace only with specified part numbers.

Note: Partsin thiscategoryalsoincludethose 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. WhenreplacingACprimarysidecomponents(transformers,power

cords,noiseblockingcapacitors,etc.)wrapends 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 compli-

ance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.

Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cath-

ode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts. Under

no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.

Unauthorizedmodificationcanincrease the highvoltagevalueand

cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.

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 trans-

former primary lead wires are performed using crimp type connec-

tors, 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: Connectorcrimpingtool oftheproper typewhich

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.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

Fig.4

(3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the

wires fully into the connector.

(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.

•Precautions during Servicing

7. Observethatwiresdo not contact heatproducingparts(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.

•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 exter-

nally 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

Confirmspecifieddielectricstrengthorgreater between power cord plug prongs andexposedacces-

sible 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 accessible

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.

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 cir-

cuit boards, take out the major parts from the chassis as-

sembly.

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 Drum

assembly.

(2) Lower the cassette holder to prepare for the removal of

the Mechanism assembly screws. (Refer to the “Proce-

dures for lowering the Cassette holder assembly”of 1.3

Disassembly/assembly method.)

(3) Remove the combined Mechanism and Main board as-

semblies.

(4) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that

have been removed in step (1). (Refer to Fig.1-4-1a.)

(5) Place the combined Mechanism and Main board assem-

blies upside down.

(6) 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 “1.3 Disas-

sembly/assembly method”.

•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 play-

back 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.

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) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.

(2) Connect TPGND and TP7001(TEST) on the Main board

assembly with a jump wire.

(3) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet.

(4) With lock levers (A) (B) on the left and right of the Cas-

sette holder assembly pulled toward the front, slide the

holder in the same direction as the cassette insertion di-

rection. (For the positions of lock levers (A) (B), refer to

the “Procedures for lowering the Cassette holder assem-

bly”of 1.3 Disassembly/assembly method.)

(5) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has

completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.

1.6 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 serv-

icing.

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 opera-

tions described below.

1.6.1 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.

1.6.2 Setting the User RCU mode

(1) Turn off the power.

(2) Press the “REC”and “PAUSE”buttons of the VCR si-

multaneously. Alternatively, transmit the code “80”from

the Jig RCU.

1.7 Servicing items related to video navigation

The video navigation function built into this unit works by

storing the video navigation data in the internal EEPROM

and writing data in the cassette tape simultaneously.

The video navigation data stored in the EEPROM cannot be

copied to another EEPROM. Therefore, when the circuit board

mounting the EEPROM is replaced, the original EEPROM

should be mounted on the new board. This will make the us-

er’s video navigation data usable with the new circuit board

after replacement. However, the user’s data cannot be restored

if the EEPROM on the original circuit board is damaged.

Note:

•

If the circuit board mounting the EEPROM or the

EEPROM alone has been replaced, it is required to per-

form confirmation/re-adjustment on all of the adjust-

ment items using the EVR as well as those which are

adjusted by transmitting adjustment codes from the Jig

RCU.

1.8.3 EMG content description

Note:

EMG contents “E08/E09”are for the model with Dynamic Drum (DD).

Table 1-8-3a

When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to an-

other 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.

When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to an-

other 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.

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.

When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more

than 3 seconds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is iden-

tified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and

the power is turned off.

When the eject operation does not complete in 3 sec-

onds after the start, [E:05] is identified, the pinch rollers

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.

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.

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.

When the DD FG pulse is not generated within 2.5 sec-

onds, [E:09] is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and

the power is turned off.

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.

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

. The mechanism is locked at the loading end due to the encoder position

reading error during mode transition.

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

The mechanism is locked at the unloading end due to the encoder posi-

tion reading error during mode transition.

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.

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;

The idler gear is meshed with the take-up reel gear, but incapable of wind-

ing due to too large mechanical load (abnormal tension);

3) The take-up reel sensor does not output the FG pulse.

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 wind-

ing due to too large a mechanical load (abnormal tension);

3) The supply reel sensor does not output the FG pulse.

Power is not supplied to the reel sensors.

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;

The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape.

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.

The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.

Power is not supplied to the drum MDA.

The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of

the housing.

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 tempera-

ture, etc.), mechanism wear or failure.

The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally.

The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power is not sup-

plied to the motor (MDA).

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.

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.).

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.

The capstan control voltage (CAPSTAN CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.

Power is not supplied to the capstan MDA.

The SW 5 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.

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.

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.

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.

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 cas-

sette 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.

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.

The power 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: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.
