SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
This unit displays the results of the self-diagnosis it carries out in two digits on the front panel indicator when problems occur.
Although these digits will only roughly tell you what kind of problems have occurred, use them when setwicing the unit. o
1, Displaying the Self-Diagnosis Results
●Press the STOP button for about 10 seconds continuously. Two digits (see below) showing the results of the self-diagnosis
will be displayed for three seconds at the hours part of the timer. All other parts of the timer will go off. The time will
automatically return after the three seconds.
●If no mechanism unit problems have occurred up to now, “00” will be displayed.

repairing and adjustment of the VP-1 PWB assembly, as
shown in Fig. 2.2.3. Further, when adjusting the VP-1 PWB
assembly, be sure to make contact an end of shield case with
bracket of the VP-1 PWB assembly to maintain the shield
effect. If the VP-1 PWB assembly does not contact, there is
insut%cient ground and no proper play back image can be
obtained.
