Safety Precaution for Repair

1-1 Cautions

CAUTION

Lithium battery; danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to

manufacturer's instructions.

When replacing the lithium battery it is important to use the same type and connect it correctly.

WARNING:

Lithium batteries contain dangerous chemicals.

Handle and dispose of with great care.

Do not throw in a ﬁ re.

Do not short circuit it.

For disposal place in a plastic bag and put in waste bin.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not

evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using

replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these

special safety characteristics are identiﬁ ed in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such

features are identiﬁ ed by marking with a on the schematics and the parts list in this Service Manual.

The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as

the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create

shock, ﬁ re, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are

issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual.

A subscription to, or additional copies for, HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal

charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

CAUTION

This product contains a laser diode of higher class than 1. To ensure continued safety, do not remove any covers or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION

There is a high-voltage section inside the DVD video

camera/recorder: When repairing or inspecting it, take

great care to prevent electric shock: Use an isolating

transformer, wear gloves, etc.

Safety Precaution for Repair > Electrostatic Protection Measures / Cautions When Handling DVD Drive

1-2 Electrostatic Protection Measures

Semiconductor components can be damaged by static electricity charged on clothes, human body, etc. Take great care when handling components to avoid electrostatic damage, and perform servicing in an environment where grounding is complete.

(1) Grounding work bench

Lay out an antistatic mat on work bench, and then use the ground plate to ground the work bench.

Antistatic mat

1M ohm

Ground

(2) Grounding human body

Use an antistatic wrist strap to discharge any static electricity charged on the body. Also, use a tester for wrist strap to make sure that the wrist strap is working normally. Note, however, that static electricity charged on clothes will not be discharged by wrist strap: Therefore do not allow your clothes to touch the semiconductor components.

Antistatic wrist strap

1M ohm

1-3 Cautions When Handling DVD Drive

The optical pickup in DVD drive has a high precision structure: Be sure to observe the following cautions.

1) Do not subject optical pickups to any severe vibrations or impact during movement, installation or disassembly.

2) When performing repair work, do not perform disassembly any further than that described in this manual.

3) Never turn the semi-variable resistors for adjustment in optical pickup or DVD drive.

4) NEVER look into the objective lens in optical pickup or directly view the laser light: You could lose your eyesight.

Do not directly look at laser light from pickup.

Safety Precaution for Repair > Lead-Free Solder

1-4 Lead-Free Solder

The printed circuit board that uses lead-free solder is adopted. To protect the global environment, use the recommended lead-free solder also during servicing. Read and observe the following before soldering:

Caution

ALWAYS wear protective goggles during soldering so that no solder smoke or scattered solder enters the eye. Lead-free solder may scatter at high temperatures of 600°C.

(1) Identiﬁ cation of circuit boards that use lead-free solder

“ ” is stamped or noted with pattern letter on circuit boards that use lead-free solder.

A30C5

(2) Characteristics of lead-free solder

The components of lead-free solder used are as follows. The melting point of lead-free solder is 30-40°C higher than that of lead based solder:

Point to be soldered Composition of alloy (wt%)

For reﬂ ow Solder paste: Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu For dip Bar solder: Sn-0.6Cu

Melting temperature: Approx. 220°C

(3) Lead-free solder for servicing

Use the following lead-free solder for servicing: Recommended lead-free solder and composition of alloy (wt%): Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu or equivalent

Information:

For composition of alloy, Sn is tin; Ag is silver; Cu is copper; Bi is bismuth; Pb is lead.

(4) Soldering iron for servicing

The temperature of soldering iron tip must be adjusted according to the points to be soldered: Use an antistatic soldering iron with thermal control function. When removing components, take care not to damage any surrounding component or pattern. When attaching components, observe the heating time in the following table so that the components are not destroyed by heat.

Tip temperatures for different soldering points:

oint to be soldered Tip temperature

Surface-mounted (chip) parts [other than those shown below] Surface-mounted (chip) parts [for DVD cameras, cellular phones only] Discrete parts 380 ± 30°C Chassis, metal shield, etc. 420 ± 30°C

320 ± 30°C [heating time: less than 5 seconds] 350 ± 10°C [heating time: less than 3 seconds]

Safety Precaution for Repair > Lead-Free Solder

(5) Cautions when using lead based solder

It is recommended that you use lead-free solder when servicing, but it is also possible to service using lead based solder. However, if lead based solder is used for servicing, take care with the following:

1) Before using lead based solder, remove the lead-free solder completely from the point to be soldered.

2) For additional soldering for repair, set the soldering iron tip temperature for lead-free solder, mix lead based solder and lead-free solder sufﬁ ciently. Do not perform any repair using the bare soldering iron tip without adding solder, since it will cause secondary failure due to lack of strength.

3-2-1 Features and Format of +RW

A +RW is a disc that can be written approx. 1000 times. The “DVD+RW Alliance” establishes its speciﬁ cations: These speciﬁ cations are similar to those of DVD-RW, but the wobble and address data recording format are different. “Wobble” refers to the frequency of groove which is provided to guide a pickup. The +RW address data is recorded and superimposed on this groove; the DVD-RW address data is recorded in an area that is called a “land” between the grooves.

3-2-2 SLEEP/RESTART button (SLEEP status)

Pressing the SLEEP/RESTART button in the recording pause status will transfer the DVD video camera/recorder to the SLEEP status. The “SLEEP status” refers to the status in which the recording pause status is maintained using minimum power. In the ordinary recording pause status, the LCD monitor or viewﬁ nder is left on, but it is off in SLEEP status. The SLEEP status will be held up to approx. 30 minutes regardless of the Power Save setting; after 30 minutes, the DVD video camera/recorder will turn off. There are two ways to release the SLEEP status and restart recording:

4-2 Messages and Troubleshooting

Some messages may appear on the LCD screen or in the viewﬁ nder during operation. If a message appears, check the following, and then perform the appropriate action, according to the message content:

1) Is the disc bottom/surface reversed when using a single-sided disc? If so, reload the disc properly.

2) Is there any condensation on the lens or in the disc drive unit of DVD video camera/recorder? Condensation will occur when the DVD video camera/recorder is moved from a cold place to a warm place, e.g. If condensation occurs, set the power switch to “OFF” with the disc loaded, and then leave the DVD video camera/recorder in a dry place until condensation disappears (for 1-2 or more hours).

The messages divided using broken lines in the table can be displayed in sequence from the upper row by pressing the

button.

Cause/condition for message to appear

(*1)

Troubleshooting

Stop trying to combine scenes, or create a play list containing the scenes to be combined, and combine them on the play list. When combining those scenes, ﬁ rst create a play list, and then combine the scenes on it.

Select only video scenes, or stop trying to combine scenes.

Select multiple scenes and then combine them. Combine divided scenes, and then delete if necessary.

Specify “Category: All”, and then operate the DVD video camera/ recorder again.

(*2)

*1: The DVD video recording format deﬁ nes the maximum number of entry points as 999: Since one entry

point is allocated to one scene, the maximum number of scenes recordable on disc with the DVD video camera/recorder is 999.

*2:

If recording is continued without editing, one scene will comprise one cell for each entry point. When scenes are combined, only the number of entry points will decrease (only the entry point is deleted); the number of cells will not decrease. Assume, for example, that the number of cells before scenes are combined is 999, which is the upper limit deﬁ ned by the DVD video recording format. If a scene comprising one cell is divided at two points and the scene between the divided scenes needs to be deleted, the cell must be further divided in order to delete. However, since the number of cells has reached the upper limit in this case, the cell cannot be divided and the scene cannot be deleted.

When the disc drive unit is replaced, the operation hours of the newly assembled unit will appear.

4-4-2 Updating ﬁ rmware

If you receive information from the factory on technical bulletin, etc. that updating firmware is

needed, you should update to improve the performance, functions and operability of DVD video

camera/recorder.

Caution

There are three types of camera microprocessor ﬁ rmware for DZ-GX3300E/GX3200E/GX3100E/

BX37E/BX35E/MV4000E, depending on the number of pixels of CCD image sensor. Be sure to

acquire the appropriate data before updating the corresponding model and then create a disc/card

for updating. If a disc/card for updating a model other than that to be serviced is inserted, a

mismatch screen (Fig. 4-4-2) will appear: Stop updating and remove the disc/card.

1) Acquire the data for updating of ﬁ rmware and create a disc or card for updating: Information on how to do this will be reported on service bulletin, etc.

2) Set the power switch to “OFF” and then use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/recorder: A battery cannot be used to do this because it may interrupt power of DVD video camera/recorder during updating.

3) Insert the disc/card for updating.

4) Set the power switch to “Movie” when using a disc for updating, or to “Card Still” when using a

card for updating.

5) After approx. 20 seconds, the updating start screen (Fig. 4-4-2) will appear and the ﬁrmware programs will be automatically updated thereafter. During updating, screens showing that designated ﬁ rmware program is being updated will appear, followed by screen showing that updating is complete. Not all ﬁ rmware programs need updating every time: If the version of the data on disc/card for updating is identical to that of ﬁ rmware stored in DVD video camera/recorder, the same version screen will appear.

Note:

1) The lens unit and crystal ﬁ lter are precision components: Take great care when handling them.

Adherence of any dust, foreign object, ﬁ ngerprint, etc. to them, or any scratches or impact, could cause a fault.

2) Never use metal tweezers to handle the crystal ﬁ lter: Doing so could damage it.

Cautions during disassembly and reassembly:

Take care with the orientation of crystal ﬁ lter when assembling it: Incorrect orientation of the crystal ﬁ lter could cause a fault.

Disassembly and Reassembly > EEPROM Data Backup and Write

5-4 EEPROM Data Backup and Write

Perform this work whenever you replace the MAN circuit board on which the EEPROM is mounted. Create a backup ﬁ le of the data in EEPROM to be replaced in a PC, and write the backup ﬁ le to new EEPROM: Some adjustment items that are performed after replacement can be omitted. Refer to “6-3-2 List of Adjustments Needed After Replacing Major Components” for adjustment items that can be omitted.

Information:

It may be impossible to back up the data in EEPROM to be replaced, depending on the status of fault: In such a case, replace the MAN circuit board, and then perform “6-4-1 Initial Data Write”.

(1) Preparations

1) Open the LCD monitor. Insert a ﬁ ne-tipped ﬂ at-bladed screwdriver into the groove in adjustment cover, and remove the cover from L case in the direction of the arrow: Be very careful not to scratch the cover or L case with screwdriver

2) Connect the DVD video camera/recorder, jig/tool and power supply as shown in Fig. 5-4-1. Refer to “6-1-2 List of Jigs and Tools used when Creating Reference Data” for details on jig/tool and power supply in the ﬁ gure.

3) Copy the adjustment program to HDD of PC. Refer to “6-1-6 Copying or Deleting Adjustment Program” for copying.

4) Start the adjustment program in order to display the adjustment menu screen on PC display. Refer to “6-2-5 Starting and Terminating Adjustment Program” for how to start the program.

Caution

It is very dangerous to perform any work with the DVD video camera/recorder disassembled, since the

DVD video camera/recorder has a laser-emitting block and high-voltage circuits: Do not remove any

parts other than the adjustment cover.

Note:

Always connect the Halcyon connector before connecting the DC power cord to the DVD video camera/recorder: Connecting the Halcyon connector after powering the DVD video camera/ recorder could cause a fault.
