Note: Nominal specs represent the design specs. All units should be able to approximate these – some will exceed
and some may drop slightly below these specs. Limit specs represent the absolute worst condition that still might
be considered acceptable; In no case should a unit fail to meet limit specs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Product Safety Notice
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special
safety-related characteristics which are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they
give necessarily be obtained by replacing them with
components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by a ! on schematics and in parts lists. Use of a
substitute replacement that does not have the same
safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part might create shock, fire, and/or other hazards. The Product’s Safety is under review
continuously and new instructions are issued whenever appropriate. Prior to shipment from the factory,
our products are carefully inspected to confirm 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.
Precautions during Servicing
A. Parts identified by the ! symbol are critical for
safety. Replace only with part number specified.
B. In addition to safety, other parts and assemblies
are specified for conformance with regulations
applying to spurious radiation. These must also be
replaced only with specified replacements.
Examples: RF converters, RF cables, noise blocking capacitors, and noise blocking filters, etc.
C. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
1)Wires covered with PVC tubing
2)Double insulated wires
3)High voltage leads
D. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous
live parts. Note especially:
1)Insulation tape
2)PVC tubing
3)Spacers
4)Insulators for transistors
E. When replacing AC primary side components
(transformers, power cord, etc.), wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.
F. Observe that the wires do not contact heat produc-
ing parts (heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.).
G. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp
edges or pointed parts.
H. When a power cord has been replaced, check that
5 - 6 kg of force in any direction will not loosen it.
I. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.
J. Be careful that foreign objects (screws, solder
droplets, etc.) do not remain inside the set.
K. Crimp type wire connector
The power transformer uses crimp type connectors
which connect the power cord and the primary side
of the transformer. When replacing the transformer,
follow these steps carefully and precisely to prevent
shock hazards.
Replacement procedure
1)Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a
point close to the connector.
Important: Do not re-use a connector. (Discard it.)
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.
3)Align the lengths of the wires to be connected.
Insert the wires fully into the connector.
4)Use a crimping tool to crimp the metal sleeve at its
center. Be sure to crimp fully to the complete closure of the tool.
L. When connecting or disconnecting the internal
connectors, first, disconnect the AC plug from the
AC outlet.

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 their original positions. Afterwards, do the following tests and confirm
the specified values to verify compliance with safety
standards.
1. Clearance Distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm
specified clearance distance (d) and (d’) between soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic parts. (See Fig. 1)
Table 1 : Ratings for selected area
AC Line VoltageClearance Distance (d) (d’)
230 V
Note: This table is unofficial and for reference only.
Be sure to confirm the precise values.
≥3mm(d)
≥6 mm(d’)
2. Leakage Current Test
Confirm the specified (or lower) leakage current
between B (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.) is lower than or equal to the specified value in the
table below.
Measuring Method (Power ON) :
Insert load Z between B (earth ground, power cord
plug prongs) and exposed accessible parts. Use an
AC voltmeter to measure across the terminals of load
Z. See Fig. 2 and the following table.

Fig. S-1-7
Instructions for Handling
Semi-conductors
Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may
occur due to a potential difference caused by electrostatic charge during unpacking or repair work.
1. Ground for Human Body
Be sure to wear a grounding band (1MΩ) that is properly grounded to remove any static electricity that may
be charged on the body.
2. Ground for Workbench
Be sure to place a conductive sheet or copper plate
with proper grounding (1MΩ) on the workbench or
other surface, where the semi-conductors are to be
placed. Because the static electricity charge on clothing will not escape through the body grounding band,
be careful to avoid contacting semi-conductors with
your clothing.

WARNING
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis
have special characteristics. These characteristics
often pass unnoticed and the protection afforded by
them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage,
etc. Replacement parts that have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual and its
supplements; electrical components having such features are identified by the mark " ! " in the schematic
diagram and the parts list. Before replacing any of
these components, read the parts list in this manual
carefully. The use of substitute replacement parts that
do not have the same safety characteristics as specified in the parts list may create shock, fire, or other
hazards.

by slightly pressing it against the head tip, turn the
upper drum to the right and to the left.
Notes:
1.The video head surface is made of very hard
material, but since it is very thin, avoid cleaning it
vertically.
2.Wait for the cleaned part to dry thoroughly before
operating the unit.
3.Do not reuse a stained head cleaning stick or a
stained chamois cloth.
Cleaning of Audio Control Head
Clean the head with a cotton swab.
Procedure
1.Remove the top cabinet.
2.Dip the cotton swab in 90% isopropyl alcohol and
clean the audio control head. Be careful not to
damage the upper drum and other tape running
parts.

MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Explanation of alignment for the tape to correctly run
starts on the next page. Refer to the information below
on this page if a tape gets stuck, for example, in the
mechanism due to some electrical trouble of the unit.
Service Information
A. Method for Manual Tape Loading/Unloading
To load a cassette tape manually:
1. Disconnect the AC plug.
2. Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
3. Inser t a cassette tape. Though the tape will not be
automatically loaded, make sure that the cassette
tape is all the way in at the inlet of the Cassette
Holder. To confirm this, lightly push the cassette
tape further in and see if the tape comes back out,
by a spring motion, just as much as you have
pushed in.
4. Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction
shown in Fig. M1 for a minute or two to complete
this task.
To unload a cassette tape manually:
1. Disconnect the AC plug.
2. Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
3. Make sure that the Moving guide preparations are
in the Eject Position.
4. Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction
shown in Fig. M1 until the Moving guide preparations come to the Eject Position. Stop turning when
the preparations begin clicking or can not be
moved further. However, the tape will be left wound
around the cylinder.
5. Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction continuously, and the cassette tape will be ejected.
Allow a minute or two to complete this task.
B. Method to place the Cassette Holder in the tape-
loaded position without a cassette tape
1. Disconnect the AC Plug.
2. Remove the Top Case and Front Assembly.
3. Turn the LDG Belt in the appropriate direction
shown in Fig. M1. Release the locking tabs shown
in Fig. M1 and continue turning the LDG Belt until
the Cassette Holder comes to the tape-loaded
position. Allow a minute or two to complete this
task.

1-A. Preliminary/Final Checking and
Alignment of Tape Path
Purpose:
To make sure that the tape path is well stabilized.
Symptom of Misalignment:
If the tape path is unstable, the tape will be damaged.
Note: Do not use an Alignment Tape for this procedure. If the unit is not correctly aligned, the tape may
be damaged.
1. Playback a blank cassette tape and check to see
that the tape runs without creasing at Guide Rollers
[2] and [3], and at points A and B on the lead surface. (Refer to Fig. M3 and M4.)
2. If creasing is apparent, align the height of the guide
rollers by turning the top of Guide Rollers [2] and
[3] with a Guide Roller Adj. Screwdriver. (Refer to
Fig. M3 and M5.)

1-B. X Value Alignment
Purpose:
To align the Horizontal Position of the Audio/Control/
Erase Head.
Symptom of Misalignment:
If the Horizontal Position of the Audio/Control/Erase
Head is not properly aligned, maximum envelope cannot be obtained at the Neutral position of the Tracking
Control Circuit.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to TP301 (C-PB) and
TP501 (CTL) on the Main CBA. Use TP502 (RFSW) as a trigger.
2. Playback the Gray Scale of the Alignment Tape
(FL6NS8) and confirm that the PB FM signal is
present.
3. Set the Tracking Control Circuit to the center position by pressing CH UP button then “ PLAY ” button
on the unit. (Refer to note on bottom of page
2-3-4.)
4. Use the X-Value Adj. Screwdriver so that the PB
FM signal at TP301 (C-PB) is maximum. (Fig. M6)
5. Press CH UP button on the unit until the CTL waveform has shifted by approx. +2msec. Make sure
that the envelope is simply attenuated (shrinks in
height) during this process so that you will know the
envelope has been at its peak.

Page 44
6. Press CH DOWN button on the unit until the CTL
waveform has shifted from its original position (not
the position achieved in step 5, but the position of
CTL waveform in step 4) by approximately -2msec.
Make sure that the envelope is simply attenuated
(shrinks in height) once CTL waveform passes its
original position and is further brought in the minus
direction.
7. Set the Tracking Control Circuit to the center position by pressing CH UP button and then “ PLAY ”
button.
1-C. Checking/Adjustment of Envelope
Waveform
Purpose:
To achieve a satisfactory picture and precise tracking.
Symptom of Misalignment:
If the envelope output is poor, noise will appear in the
picture. The tracking will then lose precision and the
playback picture will be distorted by any slight variation of the Tracking Control Circuit.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to TP301 (C-PB) on the
Main CBA. Use TP502 (RF-SW) as a trigger.
2. Playback the Gray Scale on the Alignment Tape
(FL6NS8). Set the Tracking Control Circuit to the
center position by pressing CH UP button and then
“ PLAY ” button on the unit. Adjust the height of
Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (Fig. M3, Page 2-3-3)
watching the oscilloscope display so that the envelope becomes as flat as possible. To do this adjustment, turn the top of the Guide Roller with the
Guide Roller Adj. Screwdriver.
3. If the envelope is as shown in Fig. M7, adjust the
height of Guide Roller [2] (Refer to Fig. M3) so that
the waveform looks like the one shown in Fig. M9.
4. If the envelope is as shown in Fig. M8, adjust the
height of Guide Roller [3] (Refer to Fig. M3) so that
the waveform looks like the one shown in Fig. M9.
5. When Guide Rollers [2] and [3] (Refer to Fig.M3)
are aligned properly, there is no envelope drop
either at the beginning or end of track as shown in
Fig. M9.
Note: Upon completion of the adjustment of Guide
Rollers [2] and [3] (Refer to Fig. M3), check the X
Value by pushing the CH UP or DOWN buttons alternately, to check the symmetry of the envelope. Check
the number of pushes to ensure center position. The
number of pushes CH UP button to achieve 1/2 level of
envelope should match the number of pushes CH
DOWN button from center. If required, redo the “X
Value Alignment.”
1-D. Azimuth Alignment of Audio/Con-
trol/ Erase Head
Purpose:
To correct the Azimuth alignment so that the Audio/
Control/Erase Head meets tape tracks properly.
Symptom of Misalignment:
If the position of the Audio/Control/Erase Head is not
properly aligned, the Audio S/N Ratio or Frequency
Response will be poor.
1. Connect the oscilloscope to the audio output jack
on the rear side of the deck.
2. Playback the alignment tape (FL6NS8) and confirm
that the audio signal output level is 6kHz.
3. Adjust Azimuth Adj. Screw so that the output level
on the AC Voltmeter or the waveform on the oscilloscope is at maximum. (Fig. M6)
Dropping envelope level at the beginning of track.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES OF MECHANISM
The following procedures describe how to align the
individual gears and levers that make up the tape loading/unloading mechanism. Since information about the
state of the mechanism is provided to the System
Control Circuit only through the Mode Switch, it is
essential that the correct relationship between individual gears and levers be maintained.
All alignments are to be performed with the mechanism in Eject mode, in the sequence given. Each
procedure assumes that all previous procedures have
been completed.
IMPORTANT:
If any one of these alignments is not performed properly, even if off by only one tooth, the unit will unload
or stop and it may result in damage to the mechanical
or electrical parts.
