PRECAUTION
1.1SAFTY PRECAUTIONS
Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform 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.
1.1.1 Precautions during Servicing
(1) Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels
and inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of
the product.When performing service, be sure to read and
comply with these and other cautionary notices appearing
in the operation and service manuals.
(2) Parts identified by the symbol and shaded ( ) parts
are critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.
NOTE :
Parts in this category also include those specified to
comply with X-ray emission standards for products
using cathode ray tubes and those specified for
compliance with various regulations regarding spurious radiation emission.
(3) Fuse replacement caution notice.
Caution for continued protection against fire hazard.
Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified.
(4) Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
• Wires covered with PVC tubing
• Double insulated wires
• High voltage leads
(5) Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:
• Insulation Tape
• PVC tubing
•Spacers
• Insulation sheets for transistors
•Barrier
(6) When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.
Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the
cathode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified
parts. Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray
tube.
(12) Crimp type wire connectorIn such cases as when replacing
the power transformer in sets where the connections between the power cord and power trans former primary lead
wires are performed using crimp type connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order to prevent safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely according to the
following steps.
• Connector part number :E03830-001
• Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper
type which will not damage insulated parts.
• Replacement procedure
a) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a
point close to the connector.Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).
cut close to connector
Fig.1-1-3
b) 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.
15 mm
Fig.1-1-4
c) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. In-
sert the wires fully into the connector.
Metal sleeve
Fig.1-1-1
(7) Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts
(heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.)
(8) Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or
pointed parts.
(9) When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15
kg of force in any direction will not loosen it.
Power cord
Fig.1-1-2
(10) Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.
(11) Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs)In regard to such
products, the cathode ray tubes themselves, the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.

1.1.2 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 original positions, Afterwards, perform the following
tests and confirm the specified values in order to verify compliance with safety standards.
(1) Insulation resistance test
Confirm the specified insulation resistance or greater between power cord plug prongs and externally exposed
parts of the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and
audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.).See table 1 below.
(2) Dielectric strength test
Confirm specified dielectric strength or greater between
power cord plug prongs and exposed accessible parts of
the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio
input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone
jacks, etc.). See Fig.1-1-11 below.
(3) Clearance distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm specified clearance distance (d), (d') between soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic
parts. See Fig.1-1-11 below.

SECTION 2
SPECIFIC SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Service position
This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism and Main
board assemblies can be removed together from the bottom
chassis. Before diagnosing or servicing the circuit boards, take
out the major parts from the bottom chassis.
2.1.1 How to set the "Service position"
(1) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the disas-
sembly of the major parts before removing the Mechanism
assembly.
(2) Remove the screws that fix the Mechanism, Main board as-
sembly to the bottom chassis. If any other screws are used
to fix the boards, remove them also.
(3) Remove the combined Mechanism, DVD unit, regulator,
digital, junction and Main board assemblies.
(4) If any other major parts are used, remove them also.
(5) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that
have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig. 2-1a.)
(6) Place the combined Mechanism, Main board and other
board assemblies upside down.
(7) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet and then
proceed with the diagnostics and servicing of the board as-
sembly.
Notes:
• Before inserting the power cord plug into the power out-
let, make sure that none of the electrical parts are able
to short-circuit between the workbench and the board
assembly.
• For the disassembly procedure of the major parts and
details of the precautions to be taken, see "Removing
the major parts".
• If there are wire connections from the Main board and
Mechanism assemblies to the other major parts, be sure
to remove them (including wires connected to the major
parts) first before performing step (2).
• When carrying out diagnosis and repair of the Main
board assembly in the "Service position", be sure to
ground both the Main board and Mechanism assemblies. If they are improperly grounded, there may be
noise on the playback picture or FDP counter display
may move even when the mechanism is kept in an inoperative status.
• In order to diagnose the playback or recording of the
cassette tape, set the Mechanism assembly to the required mode before placing it upside down. If the mechanism mode is changed (including ejection) while it is in
an upside down position the tape inside may be damaged.
• For some models, the mechanism and board assem-
blies are attached by connectors only. When carrying
out a diagnosis or repair of the boards in the "Service
position", make sure that the connectors are not disconnected.

2.2Jig RCU mode
This unit uses the following two modes for receiving remote control codes.
(1) User RCU mode:Ordinary mode for use by the user.
(2) Jig RCU mode: Mode for use in production and servicing.
When using the Jig RCU, it is required to set the VCR to the Jig
RCU mode (the mode in which codes from the Jig RCU can be
received). As both of the above two modes are stored in the EEPROM, it is required to set the VCR back to the User RCU mode
each time that an adjustment is made or to check that the necessary operations have been completed.These modes can be set
by the operations described below.
Note:
• When the unit is set to JIG mode and when the unit is
under JIG mode, the remote control unit attached to
product operates only in "Remote Control Code 1".
Since the unit is in "Remote Control Code 3" when it is
shipped and just after its batteries are changed, "Remote Control Code 3" needs to be changed to "Remote
Control Code 1."
• Confirm the RCU mode when exchanged parts. Since
some SERVICE PARTS sets the VCR to the Jig RCU
mode as initial setting. Therefore please set the VCR to
the user RCU mode after replacing the EEPROM.

(Refer to Fig.2-2a User/Jig RCU mode)
2.2.3 Setting the User RCU mode
(1) Turn off the power.
(2) Press the "REC" and "PAUSE" buttons of the VCR simul-
taneously. Alternatively, transmit the code "9D" from the
Jig RCU.
2.3Mechanism service mode
This model has a unique function to enter the mechanism into every operation mode without loading of any cassette tape. This
function is called the "Mechanism service mode".
2.3.1 How to set the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which
codes from the Jig RCU can be received)
(2) Transmit the code "E5" from the Jig RCU.
(3) Release the lug of the Cassette holder and then slide the
Cassette holder toward the direction where the Cassette
holder is loaded by manually.
(4) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has
completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.
When the VCR is set to the Mechanism service mode, the
symbols ("HDD") in the FDP (LED) are turned on.
2.3.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
2.4Maintenance and inspection
2.4.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the transport system parts is desirable but
practically impossible. So make it a rule to carry out cleaning of
the tape transport system whenever the machine is serviced.
When the video head, tape guide and/or brush get soiled, the
playback picture may appear inferior or at worst disappear, resulting in possible tape damage.
Note:
• Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically as
this will cause damage to the video head.
(1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video head),
soak a piece of closely woven cloth with alcohol and while
holding the cloth onto the upper drum by the fingers, turn
the upper drum counterclockwise.
(2) To clean the parts of the tape transport system other than
the upper drum, use a piece of closely woven cloth or a cotton swab soaked with alcohol.
(3) After cleaning, make sure that the cleaned parts are com-
pletely dry before using the cassette tape.

Video heads
Fig.2-4a
2.4.2 Lubrication
With no need for periodical lubrication, you have only to lubricate
new parts after replacement. If any oil or grease on contact parts
is soiled, wipe it off and newly lubricate the parts.
Note:
• See the "mechanism assembly" diagram of the "parts
list" for the lubricating or greasing spots, and for the
types of oil or grease to be used.
2.4.3 Suggested servicing schedule for main components
The following table indicates the suggested period for such service measures as cleaning, lubrication and replacement. In practice, the indicated periods will vary widely according to
environmental and usage conditions. However, the indicated
components should be inspected when a set is brought for service and the maintenance work performed if necessary. Also
note that rubber parts may deform in time, even if the set is not
used.

4.1.7 EVR Adjustment
Some of the electrical adjustments require the adjustment performed by the EVR system. The main unit have EEPROMs for
storing the EVR adjustment data and user setups.
Notes:
• In the EVR adjustment mode, the value is varied with the
channel buttons (+, -). The adjusted data is stored when
the setting mode changes (from PB to STOP, when the
tape speed is changed, etc.). Take care to identify the
current mode of each adjustment item when making an
adjustment.
• When changing the address setting in the EVR adjust-
ment mode, use the Jig RCU or the remote controller
having numeric keypad with which a numeric code can
be directly input.
The remote control code of the Jig RCU corresponds to
each of the digit keys on the remote controller as follows.
1-10 (No.YD006)
Digit-key0123456789
Code20212223242526272829
• As the counter indication and remaining tape indication
are not displayed FDP during the EVR adjustment
mode, check them on the TV monitor screen.
• When performing the EVR adjustment, confirm that the
• Although compatibility adjustment is very important, it
is not necessary to perform this as part of the normal
servicing work. It will be required when you have replaced the A/C head, drum assembly or any part of the
tape transport system.
• To prevent damaging the alignment tape in the compat-
ibility adjustment, prepare a cassette tape (for self-recording/playback), perform a test on it by transporting it
and making sure that the tape is not bent by the tape
transport mechanisms such as in the guide rollers.(See
Fig.4-2b.)

(1) Play back the back tension cassette gauge (A).
(2) Check that the indicated value on the left side gauge is
within the specified value (G).
(3) If the indicated value is not within the specified value (G),
perform the adjustment in a following procedure.(See
Fig.4-2a.)
a) Remove the top frame, cassette holder and side
frames (L/R) all together. (Refer to the SERVICE
MANUAL No.86700 [MECHANISM ASSEMBLY].)
b) Rotate the loading motor gear to move the control
plate so that the triangular stamping to the left of the
“P”stamping is aligned with the stamping (a) on the
main deck. This positioning is mode (B1).
c) Adjust by turning the adjustment pin so that the tip of
the tension arm is aligned with the stamping (b) on
the main deck.
d) Rotate the reel disk (S) by about one turn clockwise
and make sure that the round hole of the adjustment
pin is located in the “OK” range. If it is outside this
range, restart the adjustment from the beginning.
After completion of the adjustment, rotate the loading gear
motor to return it to the mode (B2) position.
(1) Play back the alignment tape (A1).
(2) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe
the V.PB FM waveform at the measuring point (D).
(3) Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode.
(4) Make sure that there is no significant level drop of the V.PB
FM waveform caused by the tracking operation, with its
generally parallel and linear variation ensured. Perform the
following adjustments when required. (See Fig. 4-2c.)
(5) Reduce the V.PB FM waveform by the tracking operation.
If a drop in level is found on the left side, turn the guide roll-
er of the pole base assembly (supply side) with the roller
driver to make the V.PB FM waveform linear.
If a drop in level is on the right side, likewise turn the guide
roller of the pole base assembly (take-up side) with the
roller driver to make it linear. (See Fig. 4-2c.)
(6) Make sure that the V.PB FM waveform varies in parallel
and linearly with the tracking operation again. When re-
quired, perform fine-adjustment of the guide roller of the
pole base assembly (supply or take-up side).
(7) Unload the cassette tape once, play back the alignment
tape (A1) again and confirm the V.PB FM waveform.
(8) After adjustment, confirm that the tape wrinkling does not
occur at the roller upper or lower limits. (See Fig. 4-2b.)

history
If the mechanism mode does not change to the next mode within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, while
the mechanism is in the after-loading position (with the tape up against
the pole base), [E:01] is identified and the power is switched OFF.
However, if the tape loading is not completed within 4 seconds after
the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, the tape is
simply unloaded and ejected. No EMG data is recorded in this case.
When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to another mode
even when the loading motor has rotated for more than 4 seconds in the unloading direction, [E:02] is identified and the power
is turned off.
When the falling edje of the take-up reel pulse has not been generated for more than 4 seconds in the capstan rotating mode,
[E:03] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped,
and the power is turned off. In this case, however, the mechanism should be in position after tape loading. Note that the reel
EMG is not detected during Slow/Frame advance operations.
When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more than 3 seconds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.
If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7
seconds after the cassette housing has started the cassette ejection operation, [E:05] is identified, the drive direction is reversed
to load the tape, the mode is switched to STOP mode with the
pinch roller OFF, and the power is switched OFF.
During the cassette insertion process, the drive direction is reversed
and the cassette is ejected if the tape is not up against the pole
base within about 3 seconds after the start of the cassette pullingin operation. If the cassette does not reach the eject position within
about 0.7 seconds after the drive mode reversal operation, [E:05]
is identified and the power is switched OFF immediately.
When the capstan FG pulse has not been generated for more
than 1 second in the capstan rotating mode, [E:06] is identified,
the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is
turned off.However, the capstan EMG is not detected in SLOW/
STILL modes.
Note that, if the part number of the System Control IC begins with
"MN" or "M3", the capstan EMG is not detected even during the
FF/REW operation.
When short-circuiting of the SW power supply with GND has lasted
for 0.5 second or more, [E:07] is identified, all the motors are
stopped and the power is turned off.
When communication with a system computer of VHS side is not
carried out because of the defective DVD unit, or when the DVD
unit must be reset
When the DD FG pulse is not generated within 2.5 seconds, [E:09]
is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.
When the falling edge of the supply reel pulse has not been generated for more than 10 seconds in the capstan rotating mode,
[E:0A] is identified and the cassette is ejected (but the power is
not turned off). In this case, however, the mechanism should be
in the position after tape loading (with the tape up against the pole
base). Also note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/
