SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
Mechanism Mode Display/ Head Output Drop Warning Display/ Cylinder Rotation Accumulated -
Time Display
This unit displays the diagnosis contents of abnormalities and the mechanism, mode on its display panel in 2-digit numbers.
When the head playback output has dropped, the “L” sign will be blinked, and these models will also display the cylinder rotation
accumulated time.
These display shows the outline of the problems. Use it as areference when servicing the unit.

SeIf-Diagnosis Contentes and Mechanism Mode Display
When the STOP button on the remote control is pressed for about 10 seconds continuously, the self-diagnosis number will be
displayed on the reception channel display of the display panel and number indicating the failed mechanism mode (changed mode
when being shifted) on the tape counter “seconds” display for 10 seconds each.
During self-diagnosis display, displays other than the diagnosis number/mechanism mode number and the cylinder accumulated
rotation time display described later (some models only) will be turned off and when displays end, the normal display will be
returned automatically.
Refer to “Self-Diagnosis Contents” for the self-diagnosis numbers and the “Mechanism Mode Display Contents” for the
mechanism mode numbers.

2. Head Output Drop Warning Display
●When the STOP bunon on the remote control is pressed for 10 seconds continuously 10 seconds after play starts, “L” will be
displayed blinking at the first digit of the minutes position on the tape counter when the head output is lower than the specified
value to indicate an abnormality.
.The cause of the abnormality maybe due to drop in the playback output caused by drop in the efficiency of the cassette used or
head clogging. Refer to “Head Playback Output Voltage Check” as ameans to judge the abnormality.

2. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
VCR PRESE17NG
This VCR need three basic presetting by using the menus displayed on-screen. After all connection have been made, then follow steps
1to 3to preset the VCR.
The three presetting steps will be displayed in sequence on TV screen. The setting are entered with the remote control.
Turn on the VCR
1. Adjusting the TV receiver to the video channel: The AUTO SETUP screen will appear. When the video channel has been preset,
press the OK button on the remote control.
2. Country selection: Using the numeric button, select the country of use.
3. Language selection: When the desired language has been select, press the MENWTV button directly before prevent auto tuning
will start.
When steps 1to 3have been finish, ready to operate the all operating mode.
2-1. SERVO CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENT
●These adjustments should be done upon completion of the tape transport adjustments.
.If the tape transport adjustments (except the tilt adjustment) are done after these adjustments, follow the procedures again in
section 2-1-3, “switching position adj.”
.When acassette tape is loaded, auto-tracking will be set immediately after starting the first playback. As this will daviate the
Ltracking center set, be sure to press the channel buttons (+) or (–) once directly after starting playback to prevent auto-tracking
from being set.
