The video cassette recorder/player incorporates precision components. Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain the performance level required for professional use. The information below will help you determine a maintenance schedule that will ensure optimum performance over a long period of time.

● Maintenance

Just as regular oil changes, brake checks, and tune-ups are essential to keep your car running well over a long period, your VCR must be maintained regularly to ensure optimum long-term performance.

Continued use of the VCR without maintenance

may lead to the following malfunctions.

●

Recording or playback cannot be executed.

●

Picture and sound distortion.

●

Repeated warnings (stopping the operation). These malfunctions are mostly due to wear or deterioration of the VCR's internal components. Having these repaired can be expensive. Moreover, a sudden malfunction can not only lead to downtime and lost productivity, but can also damage the video cassette.

1-2 MAINTENANCE

This table should be used as reference only. Actual maintenance requirements will vary according to how the unit is used.

Maintenance consultation

Consult your local JVC dealer for more information about maintenance scheduling and costs.

1 INTRODUCTION

● Keeping track of operation (running) time

The total operation time reached by an ordinary home VCR in five to six years may be reached by a professional VCR in as few as five to six months. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the total operation time. You can check the running time on the provided hour meter (drum running time). The hour meter is shown on the counter display or onscreen display on the monitor. Hour meter indication

The hour meter can be displayed by selecting

“DRUM HOUR” on the menu switch setting screen. For details, refer to “Hour meter indication” on page

39.

● Maintenance schedule

Depending on the operation time, inspect or replace the following mechanism components.

Replace the drum assembly (including the heads)

and head cleaner every 750 hours.

夡: Cleaning, check and adjustment 䡬: Check or replace as required. If replacement is

not required, clean it.

䢇: Replace.

1-3 PRECAUTIONS

1 INTRODUCTION

The BR-D95U incorporates highly sophisticated and complex technology. To ensure proper operation, be sure to take the following precautions.

Condensation

● Do not use this unit immediately after moving it from a cold place to a warm place or after switching on a heater in a cold room. This will cause water vapor to condense on the video head drum and tape guides and may damage the tape and the VCR.

● When condensation occurs, the warning message “02 1” is shown on the tape counter display. The cassette is automatically ejected (see page 145). The head drum then rotates automatically to dry itself. Leave the VCR in this state with the power on. Once the warning message “02 1” has turned off, operation can be resumed.

1 INTRODUCTION

Repeated recording and playback leads to accumulation of dust and other particles on the video and audio heads. Excessive accumulation will adversely affect the picture or sound quality. If head cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic noise called block noise may appear in the picture or the sound may be interrupted.

Be sure to clean the tape transport system with a dedicated head cleaning tape (optionally available DCL-5) once every 20 hours.

Use a dedicated head cleaning tape only. For details on use of the dedicated head cleaning tape, refer to the instructions provided with it.
