Important Safety Precautions

cut close to connector
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.
v
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 Tape 3) Spacers 5) Barrier
2) PVC tubing 4) 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.
symbol and shaded ( ) parts are
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).
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.

1.4 Service position

This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism and Main board assemblies can be removed together from the chassis assembly. Before diagnosing or servicing the cir­cuit boards, take out the major parts from the chassis as­sembly.

1.4.1 How to set the “Service position”

(1) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the dis-
assembly of the major parts before removing the Drum assembly.
(2) Lower the cassette holder to prepare for the removal of
the Mechanism assembly screws. (Refer to the “Proce­dures for lowering the Cassette holder assembly” of 1.3 Disassembly/assembly method.)
(3) Remove the combined Mechanism and Main board as-
semblies.
(4) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that
have been removed in step (1). (Refer to Fig.1-4-1a.)
(5) Place the combined Mechanism and Main board assem-
blies upside down.
(6) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet and then
proceed with the diagnostics and servicing of the board assembly.
Notes:
• Before inserting the power cord plug into the power outlet, 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 “1.3 Disas­sembly/assembly method”.
• 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.

1.5 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”.

1.5.1 How to set the “Mechanism service mode”

(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet. (2) Connect TPGND and TP7001(TEST) on the Main board
assembly with a jump wire. (3) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet. (4) With lock levers (A) (B) on the left and right of the Cas-
sette holder assembly pulled toward the front, slide the
holder in the same direction as the cassette insertion di-
rection. (For the positions of lock levers (A) (B), refer to
the “Procedures for lowering the Cassette holder assem-
bly” of 1.3 Disassembly/assembly method.) (5) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has
completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.

1.6 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 serv-
icing.
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.

1.6.1 Setting the Jig RCU mode

(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet. (2) Press and hold the “REC” and “PAUSE” buttons on the
VCR simultaneously, while plugging the power cord plug
into the power outlet.
When the VCR is set to the Jig RCU mode, the symbols
( “ : ” ) in the time display of the FDP are turned off.

1.6.2 Setting the User RCU mode

(1) Turn off the power. (2) Press the “REC” and “PAUSE” buttons of the VCR si-
multaneously. Alternatively, transmit the code “80” from
the Jig RCU.

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 DD tilting does not complete in 4 seconds, [E:08] is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.
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.

. The mechanism is locked at the loading end due to the encoder position
reading error during mode transition.
3.
Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.

The mechanism is locked at the unloading end due to the encoder posi­tion reading error during 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;
The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape.
2)
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. The absolute value sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)
2. The pull-up resistor at the absolute sensor output is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)
3. Contact failure or soldering failure of the pins of the connector (board-to-board) to the absolute value sensor. The absolute value sensor data is not sent to the System Controller CPU.
4.
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 separated.)
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. The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/
1. FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;
1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cas-
sette 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.
