Important Safety Precautions
Connector
Metal sleeve
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.
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
critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.
Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to com-
ply 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:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
5. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:
1) Insulation Tape3) Spacers5) Barrier
2) PVC tubing4) Insulation sheets for transistors
6. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.

12. Crimp type wire connector
In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power
transformer 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.
1) Connector part number : E03830-001
2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type
which will not damage insulated parts.
3) Replacement procedure
(1) 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

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.
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.

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 table 1 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 table 1
below.
Chassis
Fig. 8
4. Leakage current test
Confirm specified or lower leakage current between earth ground/power cord plug prongs
and externally exposed accessible parts (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio
input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.).
Measuring Method : (Power ON)
Insert load Z between earth ground/power cord plug prongs and externally exposed accessible parts. Use an AC voltmeter to measure across both terminals of load Z. See figure 9 and
following table 2.
5. Grounding (Class 1 model only)
Confirm specified or lower grounding impedance between earth pin in AC inlet and externally exposed accessible parts (Video in,
Video out, Audio in, Audio out or Fixing screw etc.).
Measuring Method:
Connect milli ohm meter between earth pin in AC inlet and exposed accessible parts. See figure 10 and grounding specifications.

1.8TAPE EJECTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
When the cassette tape cannot be ejected normally, take it out
by the following methods.
1.8.1 Tape Ejection Using Forced Eject Mode
(Short-circuiting of Internal TP)
GY-DV500 is provided with a compulsory eject mode for use in
case the button operations are not accepted due to a malfunction of the mechanism control circuitry. When an attempted
operation of the operation buttons is not accepted, set the compulsory eject mode as described below before removing the
tape.
CAUTION
䡲 This mode is effective only when the electrical and me-
chanical systems of the mechanism unit are normal and a
tape ejection operation is not accepted due to a problem
of the electrical system.
䡲 If there is a problem in the mechanical system of the unit,
this mode may be ineffective. If compulsory ejection is performed in such a case, the tape could be damaged or cut.
(1) Remove the left side cover (see section 1.2.1).
(2) With the power supply on, short-circuit TP107 on the DV
MAIN board with the GND using a wire, etc.
(3) Forced ejection is activated to eject the tape.
(3) Apply 3 V DC to the electrodes at the top of the loading
motor (red wire to + pole, brown wire to - pole) to unload
the tape. Unload it little by little because it could be damaged or contaminated by grease if the pole base assemblies
are returned completely beyond the position of the tape.
Brown wire
Red wire
Fig. 1-8-2(1)
(4) If the tape slackens, take it up by rotating the shaft at the
top of the capstan motor in the direction of the arrow using
a sharp-tipped object (chip IC replacement tool, etc.).
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) above until the tape is taken up
completely.
(6) After confirming that the tape has been taken up completely,
rotate the gear of the cassette housing assembly in the direction of the arrow in order to eject the cassette tape.

1.8.2 Tape Ejection without Using the Forced Eject Mode
Activate the loading motor by applying DC voltage to its two
terminals.
NOTE
When a forced ejection is not accepted because the loaded
cassette tape cannot be ejected due to a fault in the electrical system or because of some problem in the mechanism
unit, eject the tape by using the following procedure.
However, as this mode drives the loading motor, it assumes
that the mechanical system is operating normally.
(1) Turn off the power supply to the unit.
(2) Flip open the DV MAIN board to expose the mechanism
(see section 1.6.3).

1.8.3 Manual Tape Ejection
If the loading motor cannot be run by the procedure outlined in
section 1.8.2, the mechanism may be defective. When the loading motor is defective, remove the tape as described below.
(1) Remove the mechanism unit from the main unit. See sec-
tion 1.6.2 for the removal method.
(2) After removing the mechanism unit, remove the DV MAIN
board (see section 1.6.3).
(3) Remove the 2 screws and remove the active head cleaner
assembly (see section 1.7.2).
(4) Remove the side cover to easy operation (see section 1.7.2).
(5) Remove the 2 screws and remove the rear panel from the
side of the PR & MDA board.
Carefully unplug the wires so as not to damage them, then
remove the PR & MDA board (see section 1.7.2).

(10) The pole base assemblies should be unloaded little by lit-
tle. If they are returned completely beyond the position of
the tape, the tape may slacken and become damaged or
stained by grease.
(11) If the tape slackens, take it up by rotating the shaft on the
top of the capstan motor in the direction of the arrow using a sharp-tipped object (chip IC replacement tool, etc.)
(see section 1.8.2-(4)).
(12) Repeat steps (9) and (10) above until the tape is taken up
completely.
(13) After confirming that the tape has been taken up com-
pletely, tighten the cassette housing retaining screws which
were loosened in step (6).
(14) Attach and clamp the cassette housing again, then rotate
the gear of the housing assembly in the direction of the
arrow to eject the cassette tape in the same way as in
section 1.8.2-(6).

1.9CAUTION FOR REPLACING THE DV MAIN BOARD
AND VIDEO SYSCON BOARD
When the DV MAIN board or VIDEO SYSCON board has been
replaced for servicing, be sure to enforce the following items.
1.9.1 DV MAIN Board
[A] About the ID Management Label
Each VCR unit carries an ID label in compliance with IEEE1394
showing the unique ID assigned on the production line.
(See the following figure for the label position.)
When replacing the DV MAIN board, remove the ID management label that was provided originally with the unit from the
defective board and attach it in the same position to the new
board.
DV MAIN board
[B] Load EEPROM Internal Data
The EEPROM provided with the new board for replacement
contains no data, while the EEPROM originally provided with
the VCR unit contains the IEEE1394 ID data as well as all adjustment data written in the assembly and adjustments written on
the production line. This means that the new VCR unit will not
function if the new EEPROM is used in the condition in which it
is delivered.
When replacing the DV MAIN board, load the internal data of
the EEPROM on the original board to the EEPROM of the new
board.
(1) How to use original EEPROM to new DV MAIN board.
Remove the EEPROM from the original DV MAIN board,
and attach the chip to the new board.
(2) How to write data from the original board to the new
EEPROM
How to load all parameters in EEPROM on original board to
new EEPROM by using the adjustment software.
(For details, see section 3.7.13)
(3) In case of original EEPROM on the original DV MAIN board
was broken.
Load the default data before making adjustments with the
adjustment software, write the data in the new EEPROM,
then make adjustments by following the adjustment procedures. (See section 3.7.12 for details.)
And then, input the ID number on the original board to new
EEPROM by using the adjustment software. (See section
3.7.13 for details.)
ID Label
Fig. 1-9-1
1.9.2 VIDEO SYSCON Board
[A] Transporting of IC407 (EEPROM) Data
When the SSF function is used, the cassette number recorded
on tape (see section 9.4.1) has the model ID code appended to
it. The model ID code is written in IC407 (EEPROM). However,
as the new EEPROM mounted on the new replacement circuit
board does not have the ID code written into it, the SSF function cannot work normally (the model ID code should be written
in IC407 for the correct operation of the SSF function).
Nevertheless, no means is provided for transporting the model
ID code from the original EEPROM to the new EEPROM. Therefore, it is recommended to remove the original IC from the original board and mount it on the new board.
[B] ID Management Label
An ID management label is attached to the camera head. For
the position, see Fig. 1-4-1.

(3) Character mixing (S901-4)
Set S901-4 to ON to superimpose the same characters as
those displayed on the viewfinder-screen in the output signal from the TEST OUT terminal. This is a convenient facility
for adjustment because the adjustment menu and screen
can be displayed on an external monitor.
(4) Color-matrix adjustment (S901-6)
Set S901-6 to ON to view the color-matrix adjustment-mode
screen on the
Viewfinder-screen.
This mode makes it possible to set color-matrix parameters
in details (see section 1.12).
* Note that the color-matrix adjustment is not a normal adjust-
ment item. It is usually not required to adjust the color-matrix because this has been set to the optimum level before
shipment.
* In case a color-matrix adjustment becomes necessary be-
cause of a user’s request, it should be performed in accordance with the description in section 1.2.
(5) Setup (S901-7): NTSC only
Set S901-7 to ON or OFF to select whether or not the output signal setup is included in the TEST OUT and MONITOR
OUT terminals output.
(Note that the signal recorded onto tape is not affected by
the position of this switch. The signal is always recorded
without the setup information.)
As changing the position of this switch does not alter the
signal level, it is not necessary to re-adjust the signal recording according to the position of this switch. This switch is
effective only on the camera video output. With the video
signal obtained by playing back a previously recorded tape,
whether the setup is included or not can be selected with
the item “SETUP” in the Service Menu (see section 1.13.3).
(6) Function setting (S901-8)
This switch is used to set the functions shown in Table 1-91(2).
This switch is usually used to switch the defaults of the domestic and export-oriented models.

This item displays the version number of the camer control software (IC902 on ROM board).
* The Character “U” after the Version No. indicates that U
version software is running. When “E” is shown here, the
software for E version is running.
CAUTION
Also be sure to reset the system after replacing IC902
(ROM) on the ROM board. See section 1.11.2, “System
Reset”.
CCD CORRECT (ON/OFF)
This item sets whether white blemish due to CCD is to be corrected or not.
To correct: ON
Do not correct : OFF
The factory shipment condition is ON. Even when OFF is selected with this menu, it is temporary and the correction status
(ON) is recalled automatically the next time the power is turned
on.
NOTE
• To correct any white blemish interference produced after
the factory shipment, perform the “ERROR DETECT
START” described on the next page. Be sure to warm up
the camera by leaving it on for more than 2 hours before
performing the “ERROR DETECT START”.
Table 1-9-1(2)
* The L/M/H positions of GAIN can also be set individually
using the [CAMERA MENU].
1-14
• The white blemish correction is performed with the lens
iris closed or with the lens cap on. In normal use, the lens
iris closes automatically when performing a white blemish
correction. However in a case when the lens cable is disconnected and the lens iris cannot be closed, “ERROR DETECT FAIL” will be displayed on the viewfinder and the
white blemish correction cannot be executed. Before performing the white blemish correction again, be sure to first
close the lens.
ERROR DETECT START
When this item is selected and the SHUTTER dial is pushed,
the white blemish detection for correcting CCD white blemish
starts automatically.
The following messages are displayed on the viewfinder screen
during detection.
1.11.2 System Reset
While pushing the [SHUTTER] dial, press the [POWER] switch
to ON. This resets the system and initializes the menu set items
to their default values.
The following description shows items that are initialized to the
defaults by a system reset and those that are not.

(2) Details of correctable white blemishes
䡲 White blemishes at luminance levels of 30 mV or more
can be corrected. The total number of white blemishes
that can be corrected is up to 7 for the R, G and B signals.
䡲 Even when there are 2 white blemishes on a single scan-
ning line, both of them can be corrected. (However, when
they are adjacent, the results of a correction appear inferior to those of the results of the correction of a single
white blemish. These results are due to the correction characteristics themselves.)
WHITE CLIP
The white clip level of the through-camera composite output
signal that is output at TEST OUT can be selected from the following 2 values:
100% or 108% (shipment setting)

1.11.6 EEPROM in Camera
IC905 on the CAM1 board is an electrically erasable/rewritable
EEPROM. It stores the following data.
䡲 Camera adjustment data set in the adjustment mode.
䡲 Settings in [CAMERA MENU].
䡲 White blemish position coordinate data for use in white blem-
ish correction.
䡲 Auto white balance control data (A/B).
䡲 Camera status at the last power OFF (positions of non-lock
type switches, etc.).
Therefore, when retention of the above data becomes impossible due to a failure in the EEPROM or over the 1 million times of
rewrite count, the EEPROM should be replaced with a new one
and the data should then be re-set in it.
1.11.7 Tripod base
See the KA-510U servide manual NO. 60065 for servicing.
The tripod is not exactly same as KA-510U. See note for the
difference.
Note
These 1/4 and 3/8 inch fixing tripod holes are not
povided for the KA-510U.
1.12 CHANGING THE COLOR MATRIX SETTING
NOTE
The color reproduction properties of the color-matrix circuit
built into the DSP can be re-set by varying the values of 9
parameters. However, as these parameters have been set at
the factory to the default values based on detailed studies of
the product development process, it is usually not recommended to alter them. Note that this adjustment is not a
normal electrical adjustment item.
Should a re-adjustment of the color matrix (a color reproducibility change) be required as a result of a user request, etc.,
this should be performed only after studying and understanding the details of the following instructions.
1.12.1 Setting the Color Matrix
Preparation
The color matrix setting requires a color chart for use as a
reference for color reproduction and a vectorscope. As we
do not specify a color chart for this purpose, discuss the
matter with any user requesting a custom setting and use a
color chart to be agreed by the user.
Adjustment
The color-matrix circuit can be set using menus displayed
on the screen (the viewfinder-screen or the test out screen).

Use the following procedure.
(1) Remove the right side cover (see section 1.3.1)
(2) Set DIP switch S901-6 on the ROM board to ON to display
the color-matrix setting menu on both the viewfinder and
testout screens.
(3) Move the cursor (mark of “
”) to the desired item by using
the [SHUTTER] dial.
(4) When the cursor set on the desired item, pushing the [SHUT-
TER] dial causes the selected item to blink. (This is the status of the value adjustment.)
(5) When the adjustment value is blinking, rotating the [SHUT-
TER] dial varies the adjustment value. The available adjustment values are “M3”, “M2”, “M1” which is 0 or 1, and
“DATA” which is between 0 and 31.

When the drum rotation phase is deviated by more than
10 or when the capstan motor rotation speed is deviated by more than 20%.The alarm sound is generated
in REC mode. The alarm display only appears in the
PLAY mode.
When external sync input signal SYNC IN is disturbed,
“

Measures the error rate during playback or quick review with RET button and displays “HEAD CLOG”
when the viterbi is ON and exceeds 2000 (total).
When dew warning occurs with the VCR.
Description
Status After Detection
Same mode is
maintained.
Detection Method
The MSD microcomputer
detects the drum rotation
phase from the phase error
between the TSR and HID
signals. The capstan motor
rotation speed is detected
based on the CAP FG signal.
Same mode is
maintained.

See error code “0201 DEW” in 1.16.
“DEW”
Lithium battery exhaustion
“Li”
When the built-in lithium battery for the timecode
backup is exhausted or not installed.
Same mode is
maintained.
Decrease in the
battery voltage
below 2.6 V.
Remaining battery
When the remaining battery power is low.
• Battery nearly empty:
Operation is maintained.

1.15 BATTERY POWER DETECTION METHODS
1.16 WARNING CODES
The battery voltage is detected to display the remaining power
on the LCD. Since the detection voltage is variable depending
on the 12 V/13.2 V/14.4 V battery types, correct settings should
be made with the setup menu.

If a problem occurs during operation, the unit diagnoses the
cause by itself, provides a warning through the “warning LED”
and “buzzer”, and displays the diagnosis results in the counter
display.
[LCD counter]
Error display appears. (∗∗∗∗ is the error code.)
ERR-∗∗∗∗
[Warning LED]
The red LED blinks (at about 4 Hz).
[Buzzer]
Generates a continuous tone. However, the tone is intermittent
(at about 4 Hz) in case of dew alarm.
0201 Condensation
•VCR operation
In save mode:
· If a cassette is loaded, enters the AUTO OFF mode.
· If a cassette is not loaded, the warning LED lights
and the SAVE mode is maintained.
In other modes:
· If a cassette is loaded, the AUTO OFF mode is ini-
tiated.
· If a cassette is not loaded, the warning LED lights
and the drum rotates. An operation is accepted after any condensation has evaporated.
•Cause: Condensation of moisture.
•Detection method : Check the voltage at the pin 124 of
IC401.
DEW ON : 2.4 V or more
DEW OFF : 1.8 V or less
0601 WRONG CASSETTE TYPE
•VCR operation: The AUTO OFF mode is initiated.
•Cause: A wrong type of cassette for the
computer is inserted.
•Detection method : An error in the cassette type is detected (at pins 117, 118 and 119 of
IC401) after the insertion is completed.
3200 LOADING INCOMPLETE
•VCR operation: The AUTO OFF mode is initiated.
•Cause: Malfunction of the loading motor,
rotary encoder or mechanism.
•Detection method : The rotary encoder output is
checked (at pins 44, 45 and 46 of
IC401) and an error is detected
when loading has not completed in
4 seconds.
