SECTION 1

PRECAUTION

1.1 SAFTY 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.

1.2 Hard 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.

2.2 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.

2.2.1 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.

2.3 Jig 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.

2.3.3 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 "43-9D" from the Jig RCU.

2.4 Mechanism 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".

2.4.1 How to set the "Mechanism service mode"

(1) Set the unit to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes

from the Jig RCU can be received) (2) Transmit the code "43-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 unit is set to the Mechanism service mode, the

symbols ("TIMER") in the FDP (LED) are blinked.

2.4.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"

(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.

2.5 Maintenance 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.

(No.YD048)1-7

2.5.3 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.

4.1.6 Manual tracking mode (Auto tracking ON/OFF) set-

ting

(1) In order to set to the manual tracking mode during tape

playback, press the “CHANNEL +/-”button on the unit simultaneously.

• When the manual tracking mode is set, the tracking is placed at the center position.

(2) Press “CHANNEL +/-” to adjust the tracking manually.

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.

1-12 (No.YD048)

Digit-key0123456789 Code 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

• 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

FDP indication is changed to the EVR mode.

4.2 Mechanism compatibility adjustment (VHS SECTION)

Notes:

• 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.)

[Perform adjustment step (9) only for the models equipped

with SP mode and EP (or LP) mode.]

EU1: Head clog warning 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/ Frame advance operations.

Presupposing the presence of the control pulse output in the PLAY mode, when the value obtained by mixing the two V.FM output channels (without regard to the A.FM output) has remained below a certain threshold level for more than 10 seconds, [E:U1] is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which the head clog is detected, the FDP shows "U:01" and the OSD repeats the "3 seconds of warning display" and the "7 seconds of noise picture display" alternately.

EMG code : "E:C1" or "E:U1" / FDP : "U:01" / OSD : "Try cleaning tape." or "Use cleaning cassette." The head clog warning is reset when the above-mentioned threshold has been exceeded for more than 2 seconds or the mode is changed to another mode than PLAY.

1. The mechanism is locked in the middle of the mode transition during a tape loading operation.

The mechanism overruns during the tape loading operation because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This problem is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure.

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

Without an eject signal being sent from the SYSCON, unloading is attempted (i.e. Ejection is attempted while the tape is still inside the mechanism.) because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure. (Mechanism position: UPPER)

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)

The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport modes (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;

3) The reel is rotating normally but an FG pulse is not generated due to the take-up reel sensor failure.

The supply reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport modes (REV SEARCH/REW, etc.) because;

1) The idler gear is not meshed with the supply reel gear because the mechanism mal-functions for

2) The idler gear is meshed with the supply reel gear, but incapable of winding due to too large a

3) The reel rotates normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.

Power(SW5V) is not supplied to the reel sensor on the tape winding side.

The drum could not start or the drum rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because;

1) The tape tension is abnormally high;

2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape.

The drum FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;

1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;

2) The FG pulse generator (hall device) of the drum is faulty.

The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.

Power (M12V) is not supplied to the drum MDA.

The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of the housing.

When the housing load increases during ejection, the loading motor is stopped because of lack of headroom in its drive torque.

The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally.

The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power (M12V) is not supplied to the motor (MDA).

When the user attempted to eject a cassette, a foreign object (or perhaps the user's hand) was caught in the opening of the housing.

The capstan could not start or the capstan rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because;

1) The tape tension is abnormally high (mechanical lock);

2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) is adhered to the tape (occurrence of tape

The capstan FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;

1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;

2) The FG pulse generator (MR device) of the capstans is faulty.

The capstan control voltage (CAPSTAN CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.

Power (M12V, SW5V) are not supplied to the capstan MDA.

The SW 5 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.

The SW 12 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.

8. The tilt motor drive MDA - IC is defective.

9. Auto-recovery of the DD tilting cannot take place due to overrun.

The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;

1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cassette is cut in the middle;

2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the supply reel side of the cassette shell.

3) The reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.

The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport mode (REV SEARCH/REW, etc.).

1) REV SEARCH/REW is started when the tape in the inserted cassette has been cut in the middle;

2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the take-up reel side of the cassette

5.4.7 Booting the system using the CD

The firmware of this device is stored in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). If the firmware is collapsed for its contents, [LOADING] is repeatedly displayed on the FDP display of the main unit and the system becomes inoperative. The system operation cannot be resumed even if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC power source. In such a situation, the operation may be resumed on a temporary basis to normal using a CD that stores the firmware. This causes the firmware in the HDD to be updated and the system may be brought to a normal operation. Refer to the following descriptions for detail.

5.4.7.1 Downloading the firmware from JS-NET to create a booting disk

NOTE:

For details of creating the booting disk, see the instructions provided in the JS-NET web site.

(1) Download all the relevant files from the JS-NET and decompress it. (2) The file termed "bootup1.blx" will accordingly be created. Copy this file in a root directory of the CD-R. (3) Set the track setting to [MODE2 XA] for writing the software, and select [JOLIET] as an exchangeable file name. Be sure to write

the disk in [Disk at once] mode.

5.4.7.2 Booting using the Disk

The following explanation is made assuming the system operation is being unable with [LOADING] repeatedly displayed.

(1) Disconnect the AC plug and then connect it again. Immediately after this, press and hold the DVD ON/OFF button until the tray

comes out. (2) Put the booting disk on the tray and close the tray. (3) Disconnect the AC plug. Press and hold the STOP button and connect the AC plug. (4) Keep the button pressed for 20 seconds and release the button (Timing must be precise). (5) [LOADING] will be displayed repeatedly for a while and the system will be brought to the standby state. (6) Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to remove the booting disk. (7) Turn the system on and confirm that the operation is normal. If so, the system should be properly booted from the CD-R.

5.4.7.3 Updating the firmware after booting with the CD

By updating the firmware using the CD, the built-in firmware in the HDD will be overwritten, allowing the firmware to be renovated. The system may be resumed to a normal state using this method. Be sure to download the latest version of the update firmware when you attempt to create and use the firmware. For the updating procedures, refer to 5.6.
