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.1-1-1
(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.

1.2Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Handling Precautions
The HDD is a precision device for use in reading and writing a large amount of data on or from a disk rotating at a high speed. If it is
not handled carefully, either abnormal operation may result or it may not be possible to read data. The HDD is sensitive to the following
items and special care is required in safeguarding against them when handling an HDD. Also take care in handling a set incorporating
an HDD.
(1) Vibrations and impacts
(2) Static electricity
(3) Rough handling
1.2.1 Handling in transport, etc.
• Be sure to place the HDD in the manufacturer's specified package carton before transport.
• When receiving a package containing an HDD, check that the
package carton is not damaged (such as having holes in the
carton, crushed corners, etc.).
• Do not impact the packaging carton when loading or unloading
HDD
Do not throw or
drop packages.
it.
• It is not permitted to use the inner package carton only for
transporting an HDD.
• Do not stack package cartons one upon another.
Be sure to package and
transport the HDDs correctly.
1.2.2 Handling an HDD in the stand-alone status
• When handling an HDD on a hard workbench, place an antistatic mat (rubber sheet) or similar object on the hard surface
(to prevent any impacts occurring between the HDD and
bench).
• Do not stack the HDDs one upon another.
• Do not knock an HDD with a hard object (such as a screwdriver).
• Do not place an HDD on its side panel without using a support
(do not place an HDD in an unstable position).
1.2.3 Handling the installation of an HDD
• Place antistatic mats or similar sheets on all of the surfaces on which work is conducted or when the HDD is transported.
• Do not permit the HDD to knock against the set's brackets.
• When screwing the brackets, be careful not to knock the HDD. When using a power screwdriver, use a low-shock model and arrange
the tightening torque properly.
• When mounting an HDD in a main body, take care not to apply excessive force to the brackets.

SPECIFIC SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1Different table of features
The following table indicates main different points between models DR-MX1SEK, DR-MX1SEU/EY/EZ and DR-MX1SEF.
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.
2.2.1 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, HDD, DVD unit,
switching regulator, digital, junction and Main board as-
semblies.
(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. 2-2a.)
(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.

2.3Jig 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 unit 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 unit 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 RCU mode and when the unit
is under Jig RCU 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 unit to the Jig RCU
mode as initial setting. Therefore please set the unit to
the user RCU mode after replacing the EEPROM.

2.4.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
2.5Maintenance and inspection
2.5.1 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 cot-
ton swab soaked with alcohol.
(3) After cleaning, make sure that the cleaned parts are com-
pletely dry before using the cassette tape.

2.5.2 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.
