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
1.1Handling in transport, etc.
s Be sure to place the HDD in the manufacturer's specified package
carton before transport.
s When receiving a package containing an HDD, check that the pack-
age carton is not damaged (such as having holes in the carton,
crushed corners, etc.).
s Do not impact the packaging carton when loading or unloading it.
s It is not permitted to use the inner package carton only for transport-
ing an HDD.
s Do not stack package cartons one upon another.
Be sure to package and
transport the HDDs correctly.
HDD
Do not throw or
drop packages.
1.2Handling an HDD in the stand-alone status
s 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).
s Do not stack the HDDs one upon another.
s Do not knock an HDD with a hard object (such as a screwdriver).
s Do not place an HDD on its side panel without using a support (do
not place an HDD in an unstable position).
1.3Handling the installation of an HDD
s Place antistatic mats or similar sheets on all of the surfaces on which work is conducted or when the HDD
is transported.
s Do not permit the HDD to knock against the set's brackets.
s 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.
s When mounting an HDD in a HDD/VHS DUAL RECORDER, take care not to apply excessive force to the
brackets.

2. In Case of an HDD Failure
When a HDD/VHS DUAL RECORDER AC cord is plugged into a power outlet, the boot loader is read from the
IC8204 (8M FLASH ROM), which activates the HDD and reads the system files in the HDD before getting ready
for operation. In consequence, the HDD/VHS DUAL RECORDER cannot be turned on if the HDD fails.
In case a failure of the HDD is in doubt, use the following procedure to switch the main power of the set ON using
the VHS section alone, by bypassing the HDD operation check.
(1) With the HDD/VHS DUAL RECORDER in the remote control
standby status, transmit code AE from the remote jig for more
than 2 seconds.
(2) The REC LINK button on the HDD/VHS DUAL RECORDER
blinks, indicating that the power supply can be switched ON.
(3) When the code AE is transmitted again from the remote jig,
the button stops blinking and its function is canceled.

Important Safety 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.
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 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
Fig.3
(2) 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
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.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.
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.

Head clog warning
When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to another mode even when the loading motor has rotated
for more than 4 seconds in the loading direction, [E:01]
is identified and the power is turned off.
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 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. However, the reel EMG is
not detected in STILL/SLOW modes.
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.
When the eject operation does not complete in 3 seconds after the start, [E:05] is identified, the pinch rollers
are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.
When the cassette insertion operation does not complete
in 3 seconds after the start, the cassette is ejected. In
addition, when the operation does not complete within
3 seconds after the start, [E:05] is also identified and the
power is turned 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 STILL/SLOW/FF/REW modes.
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 the KBUS_DATA signal did not reach the pin-46
of the System controller CPU (IC3001) on the main board
assembly, [E:08] is identified, "POWER ON" operation
is rejected.
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 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). However, note that the reel EMG
is not detected in the SLOW/STILL mode.
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:C1] or [E:U1]
is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which a head clog is detected, the FDP and OSD repeat the
“3-second warning display” and “7-second 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.
The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

3
Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.
1
The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport modes (PLAY/
FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;
1) The idler gear is not meshed with the take-up reel gear;
The idler gear is meshed with the take-up reel gear, but incapable of wind-
2)
ing due to too large mechanical load (abnormal tension);
3) The take-up reel sensor does not output the FG pulse.
2
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.
2) The idler gear is meshed with the supply reel gear, but incapable of wind-
ing due to too large a mechanical load (abnormal tension);
3) The supply reel sensor does not output the FG pulse.
3
Power is not supplied to the reel sensors.
1
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.
2
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.
3
The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.
4
Power is not supplied to the drum MDA.
1
The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of
the housing.
2
When the housing load increases during ejection, the loading motor is
stopped because of lack of headroom in its drive torque.
Housing load increasing factors: Temperature environment (low temperature, etc.), mechanism wear or failure.
3
The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally.
4
The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power is not supplied to the motor (MDA).
5
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.
1
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 entangling, etc.).
2
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.
3
The capstan control voltage (CAPSTAN CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.
4
Power is not supplied to the capstan MDA.
1
The SW 5 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.
2
The SW 12 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.
1 HDD is defective
2 KBUS_DATA signal is disconnected in the middle.
1 The FG sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)
2 The pull-up resistor at the FG sensor output is defective. (The soldered parts have

3 Contact failure or soldering failure of the pins of the connector (board-to-board) to the FG sensor.
4 The power to the sensor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure)
5 The FG pulse is not sent to the System Controller CPU.
The tilt motor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)
6
7 The drive power to the tilt motor is not supplied. (Connection failure/soldering failure)
8 The tilt motor drive MDA - IC is defective.
9 Auto-recovery of the DD tilting cannot take place due to overrun.
1
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. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate
until the tape slack is removed by the FWD transport, so the pulse is not
generated until then;
3) The FG pulse output from the supply reel sensor is absent.
2
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 shell. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate
until the tape slack is removed by the REV transport, so the pulse will
not be generated until that time;
3) The FG pulse output from the take-up reel sensor is absent.
3
The power to a reel sensor is not supplied.

MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
2.1 Before starting repair and adjustment
2.1.1 Precautions
(1) Unplug the power cord plug of the VCR before using your
soldering iron.
(2) Take care not to cause any damage to the conductor
wires when plugging and unplugging the connectors.
(3) Do not randomly handle the parts without identifying
where the trouble is.
(4) Exercise enough care not to damage the lugs, etc. dur-
ing the repair work.
(5) When reattaching the front panel assembly, make sure
that the door opener of the cassette holder assembly is
lowered in position prior to the reinstallation. (See SECTION 1 DISASSEMBLY.)
(6) 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). (See SECTION 1 DISASSEMBLY.)
Loading motor
2.1.2 Checking for proper mechanical operations
Enter the mechanism service mode when you want to operate the mechanism when no cassette is loaded. (See SECTION 1 DISASSEMBLY.)
2.1.3 Manually removing the cassette tape
1. In case of electrical failures
If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because of any electrical failure, manually remove it by taking
the following steps.
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
(2) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the dis-
assembly of the major parts before removing the drum
assembly.
(3) Unload the pole base assembly by manually turning the
loading motor of the mechanism assembly toward the
front. In doing so, hold the tape by the hand to keep the
slack away from any grease. (See Fig.2-1-3a.)
(4) Bring the pole base assembly to a pause when it reaches
the position where it is hidden behind the cassette tape.
(5) Move the top guide toward the drum while holding down
the lug (A) of the bracket retaining the top guide. Likewise hold part (B) down and remove the top guide.
Section (C) of the top guide is then brought under the
cassette lid. Then remove the top guide by pressing the
whole cassette tape down. (See Fig.2-1-3b.)
(6) Remove the cassette tape by holding both the slackened
tape and the cassette lid.
(7) Take up the slack of the tape into the cassette. This com-
pletes removal of the cassette tape.
Note:
• For the disassembly procedure of the major parts and
details of the precautions to be taken, see “SECTION
1 DISASSEMBLY”.

panel assembly and others so that the mechanism assembly is visible. (See SECTION 1 DASASSEMBLY.)
(2) While keeping the tension arm assembly of the mecha-
nism assembly free from tension, pull the tape on the pole
base assembly (supply or take-up side) out of the guide
roller. (See Fig.2-1-3c.)
(3) Take the spring of the pinch roller arm assembly off the
hook of the press lever assembly, and detach it from the
tape. (See Fig.2-1-3d.)
(4) In the same way as in the electrical failure instructions in
2.1.3-1(5), remove the top guide.
(5) Raise the cassette tape cover. By keeping it in that posi-
tion, draw out the cassette tape case from the cassette
holder and take out the tape.
(6) By hanging the pinch roller arm assembly spring back
on the hook, take up the slack of the tape into the cassette.

2.1.5 Maintenance and inspection
1. Location of major mechanical parts
In this chapter, the two mechanism speeds are described by comparing the speeds of the standard type and the high-speed
FF/REW type.
It is possible to distinguish between these two types of mechanism by the diameters of their capstan pulleys.
The capstan pulley diameter for the standard type is approx. 32 mm.
The capstan pulley diameter for the high-speed FF/REW type is approx. 43 mm.
For information on the different parts used in the two mechanism types, please refer to the “Replacement of major parts”.

2. 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.
(1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video
head), soak a piece of closely woven cloth or Kimu-wipe
with alcohol and while holding the cloth onto the upper
drum by the fingers, turn the upper drum
counterclockwise.
Note:
• Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically
as this will cause damage to the video head.
(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 video tape.
3. 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.
4. 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.

2.2 Replacement of major parts
2.2.1 Before starting disassembling (Phase matching
between mechanical parts)
The mechanism of this unit is closely linked with the rotary
encoder and system controller circuits.
Since the system controller detects the status of mechanical operation in response to phases of the rotary encoder
(internal switch positions), the mechanism may not operate
properly unless such parts as the rotary encoder, control
plate, loading arm gear, control cam, cassette gear, limit gear,
relay gear and drive gear are installed in their correct positions.
Especially, this model is not provided with any cassette housing assembly, so that cassette loading and unloading must
be accomplished by operation of the cassette holder assembly. The latter is in turn driven by such parts as the drive
gear, relay gear and limit gear. Exercise enough care, therefore, to have the phases of all this gear matching one another. (For information on phase matching of the mechanism,
see the instructions on how to install individual parts.)
This unit is provided with a mechanism assembly mode. It is
therefore necessary to enter this mode for assembling and
disassembling procedures.
This mode is usually not in use, manually set it when it is
required.
2.2.3 Cassette holder assembly
1. How to remove
(1) Remove the guide rail and roller cam assembly. (See

2. How to install (Centering the mounting position)
When the capstan motor has once been removed and then
reinstalled out of the initial correct position in the rotational
direction, the capstan motor current may be unstable during
operation in high or low temperatures. This may result in
greater Wow & Flutter and occasionally in power breakdown
because of current over - load. Install the capstan motor while
following the procedure given below.
(The capstan motor is centrally located when the unit is
shipped from the factory.)
(1) Provisionally tighten the three screws (A) securing the
capstan motor.
(2) Install the mechanism assembly to which the capstan
motor is provisionally fastened on the bottom chassis
which incorporates the Main board assembly. (No need
to tighten the screws for mounting the mechanism.)
Make sure that all the connectors for the mechanism assembly and the Main board assembly are correctly installed as indicated in Fig. 2-2-8b.
(3) Making sure that the connector for the capstan motor is
correctly mounted, and securely tighten the three screws
(A).
Note:
• When the capstan motor has been replaced with a new
one, perform recording in the EP(or LP) mode for at
least 2 minutes at normal temperatures immediately before starting the FF/REW or SEARCH operations (Aging).
2.2.9 Pole base assembly (supply or take-up side)
1. How to remove
(1) Remove the UV catcher 2 on the removal side by loos-
ening the screw (A).
(2) Remove the pole base assembly on the supply side from
the mechanism assembly by loosening the screw (B) on
the mechanism assembly back side and sliding the pole
base assembly toward the UV catcher 2.
(3) As for the pole base assembly on the take-up side, turn
the pulley of the loading motor to lower the cassette
holder because the screw (B) is hidden under the control plate. (See the “Procedures for Lowering the Cassette
holder assembly” of 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
METHOD.) Further turn the motor pulley to move the cassette holder until the screw (B) is no longer under the control plate (in the half-loading position). Then remove it as
done for the supply side by removing the screw (B).
Note:
• After reinstalling the Pole base assembly and the UV
catcher2, be sure to perform compatibility adjustment.

2.3 Compatibility adjustment
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 avoid any damage to the alignment tape while performing the compatibility adjustment, get a separate
cassette tape (for recording and play back) ready to
be used for checking the initial tape running behavior.
• Unless otherwise specified, all measuring points and
adjustment parts are located on the Main board.
• 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). (See SECTION 1 DISASSEMBLY.)

(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. 2-31d.)
[Perform adjustment step (9) only for the models
equipped with SP mode and EP (or LP) mode.]
(9) Repeat steps (1) to (8) by using the alignment tape (A2).
(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. Per-
form the following adjustments when required. (See Fig.
2-3-1a.)
(5) Reduce the V.PB FM waveform by the tracking opera-
tion. If a drop in level is found on the left side, turn the
guide roller 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. 2-3-1c.)
(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).

3.1.4 Switch settings and standard precautions
The SW settings of the VCR and the standard precautions
for the electrical adjustments are as follows.
• When using the Jig RCU, set its custom code to match
the custom code of the VCR.
3.1.5 EVR Adjustment
Some of the electrical adjustments require the adjustment
performed by the EVR system. The Main board assembly
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 adjustment 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.
Digit-key 0123456789
Code20 21 22 23 24 2526 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, as shown
below.
(1) Play back the signal (A1) of the alignment tape (A2).
(2) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E) to observe
the VIDEO OUT waveform and V.PB FM waveform at the

(3) Press the channel buttons (+, –) simultaneously to enter
the manual tracking mode. This also brings tracking to
the center (centre).
(4) Adjust tracking by pressing the channel buttons (+, –) so
that the V.PB FM waveform becomes maximum.
(5) Transmit the code (F) from the Jig RCU to adjust so that
the trigger point of the VIDEO OUT waveform is changed
from the trailing edge of the V.sync signal becomes the
specified value (G).
(6) Set the VCR to the stop mode or eject mode.
(7) Play back the signal (A1) of the alignment tape (A3).
(8) Repeat steps (2) to (6).
