NOTE:
1. Tune the TV Broadcasting channelsbyreferring the memo.
2. Since all electrical adjustment data isstill not available, perform
the Electrical Adjustment continuously.
WHEN REPLACING THE MAIN C.B.A.
Since the user's Tape Librarydata is storedinIC6002;EEPROM, swapthe EEPROM taking from
Original MainC.B.A. and mount it ontothe NewMainC.B.A. tokeepmaintainthe user's Library
Data byordering the following procedure.
1. Take the IC6002; EEPROMfrom the new MainC.B.A. (to be used
as replacement.)and keep itaside.
2. Take the IC6002; EEPROMfrom the original MainC.B.A. (to be
replaced).
3. Mount the EEPROMbeing taken from original C.B.A. to the new
MainC.B.A.(to be used as replacement.)
4. Install the new MainC.B.A. to the VCR.

Whenordering the above procedure, setting of the model code, option code, tuning channel can
be skipped. / However, all electrical adjustment data is unique value inaccordance witha deck,
perform the Electrical Adjustment continuously.
