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.

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.
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

1.4 SERVICE POSITION
In order to facilitate diagnosis and the repair of the Mechanism assembly, this unit is constructed so as to allow the
Mechanism and Main board assemblies to be removed together from the Bottom chassis assembly.
(5) Take out 2 screws C , 1 screw D and 1 screw E as
shown in Fig. 1-4-1.
(6) Take out 1 screw F as shown in Fig. 1-4-1, and remove
the GR board assembly. (Take care not to pull the flat
wire (Fig. D8) from CN1902.)
(7) Remove the Main board and Mechanism assemblies to-
gether while holding the edge of the Main board assembly. At this stage be careful of the power cord and prongs
of the jacks on the back side. (Refer to Fig. 1-4-2.)
(8) Remove the SW/Display board assembly and REC safety
board assembly. (Refer to page 1-3 of 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD. Take care not to pull the flat
wire (Fig. D7) from CN7001.)
1.4.1 How to take out the Mechanism and Main board
assemblies
(1) Remove the Top cover, Bracket, Front panel assembly
and JACK board assembly. (Refer to 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/
ASSEMBLY METHOD. )

Note:
• When carrying out diagnosis and repair of the Main
board assembly in the service position, be sure to
ground both the Main board and the Mechanism assemblies.
If they are improperly grounded, there may be noise
on the playback picture or the FDP counter display may
move even when the mechanism is kept in an inoperative status.
1.4.2 Precautions for cassette loading in the "SERVICE
POSITION"
The REC safety board assembly detects cassette loading as
well as cassette tabs. Therefore, after the assembly has been
removed in the "SERVICE POSITION", it is required to set
the switch manually on the REC safety board assembly when
a cassette is loaded.
1.4.3 Cassette loading and ejection methods in the
“SERVICE POSITION”(See Fig. 1-4-3).
(1) Insert a cassette halfway in the Cassette holder assem-
bly.
(2) Set the switch on the REC safety board assembly to ON
(by pressing the switch).
(3) As soon as the cassette starts to be loaded, set the switch
on the REC safety board assembly to OFF (by releasing
the switch).
(4) Now the desired operation (recording, playback, fast for-
ward, rewind, etc.) is possible in this status (the status
shown in Fig.1-4-3).
Notes:
• When performing diagnostics of the tape playback or
the recording condition in the "SERVICE POSITION",
enter the desired mode before turning the set upside
down, and do not change the mode when performing
diagnostics while the set is placed upside down. If you
want to switch the mode, turn the set to the normal position (the status shown in Fig.1-4-3).
• In the "SERVICE POSITION", the cassette tabs cannot
be detected and recording becomes possible even with
a cassette with broken tabs such as the alignment tape.
Be very careful not to erase important tapes.
(5) The switch on the REC safety board assembly does not
have to be operated when ejecting a tape. But be sure
to turn the set to the normal position before ejecting the
tape.
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) Disconnect VCR from AC.
(2) Connect TPGND and TP7001 (TEST) on the SW/Display
board assembly with a jump wire.
(3) Connect VCR to AC.
(4) Press the POWER button.
(5) With lock levers Åı on the left and right of the Cassette
holder assembly pulled toward the front, slide the holder
in the same direction as the cassette insertion direction.
(For the positions of lock levers Åı , refer to the “Pro-
cedures for Lowering the Cassette holder assembly” on
page 1-2 of 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD.)
(6) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has
completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.

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.
4
The absolute value sensor data is not sent to the System Controller CPU.
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.
6
The tilt motor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)
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 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.

1.8 SERVICING THE VIDEO NAVIGATION FUNCTION
The video navigation function is to record data to the built-in
FLASH memory of the VCR. At the same time a reference
number is wrote on the cassette tape for control purposes.
Therefore, the FLASH memory and the cassette tape (selfrecorded tape) form a related pair. If the FLASH memory or
the board assembly (in which the FLASH memory is included)
is replaced, the video navigation function will not operate. In
this case, it is required to copy the video navigation data in
the original FLASH memory into the FLASH memory of the
unit which the navigation function is available.
1.8.1 Copying the video navigation data
Notes:
• When copying the video navigation data, initialization
of the FLASH memory of the master unit is required.
• Connect the JLIP cable to each “JLIP terminal” of the
VCR.

1.8.2 Erasing the video navigation data (Initialization)
This is the service mode to erase all the video navigation
data inside the FLASH memory. When a unit is replaced or
after an operations check, erase the data which is not required while observing the TV screen.
Notes:
• During Flash memory initialization, the transmission of
the jig code may affect the peripheral VCR. Therefore,
when initializing the Flash memory, be sure to unplug
the peripheral VCR power cable.
• Please take note that after erasing data cannot be restored, therefore care must be exercised.
• When using the Jig RCU. set its custom code to match
the custom code of the VCR.

SECTION 2
MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
2.1 BEFORE STARTING REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENT
2.1.1 Precautions
(1) Unplug the power cable of the main unit 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 installing the front panel assembly, be sure to hook
the lug on the back side of the cassette door to the door
opener of the cassette holder. If this operation is neglected it will not be possible to remove the cassette when
ejecting because the housing door cannot be opened.
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 1.5
MECHANISM SERVICE MODE.)
Loading motor
Pole base assembly
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 cable and remove the top cover,
bracket and front panel assembly. (See 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY METHOD.)
(2) Unload the cassette by manually turning the loading mo-
tor 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.)
(3) Bring the pole base assembly (supply or take-up side) to
a pause when it reaches the position where it is hidden
behind the cassette tape.
(4) 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.)
(5) Remove the cassette tape by holding both the slackened
tape and the cassette lid.
(6) Take up the slack of the tape into the cassette. This com-
pletes removal of the cassette tape.

If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because of any mechanical failure, manually remove it by taking the following steps.
(1) Unplug the power cable and remove the top cover, front
panel assembly and others so that the mechanism assembly is visible. (See 1.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
METHOD.)
(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(4), 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 audio control 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, set its custom code to match
the custom code of the VCR.

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) Insert the cassette tape (A3) to enter the mode (B).
(2) Observe the VIDEO OUT waveform at the measuring
point (D).
(3) Check the Y level value when the External S-input (Y/C
separated video signal).
(4) Switch the input signal to the External input (composite
video signal), and adjust the adjustment part (F) so that
the Y level becomes the same value observed in step
(3).
Note:
• The specified value (G) is just a reference value to be
obtained when the External S-Video (Y/C separated
video) signal is input. In actual adjustment, set it to
the value observed in step (3).

code (F1) from the Jig RCU again. (When the EVR mode
is released, the adjusted data is memorized.)
(1) Insert the cassette tape (A3).
(2) Set the VCR to the Auto adjust mode by transmitting the
code (F) from the Jig RCU. When the VCR enters the
stop mode, the adjustment is completed. When the VCR
enters the eject mode, repeat steps (1) to (2) again.
3.4 AUDIO CIRCUIT
Notes:
• This adjustment should be done after the “REC color
(colour) level adjustment” for the video circuit has
been completed.
• GND (Ground) should be taken from the Tuner shield
case.
(1) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E) to observe
the Audio PB FM waveform at the measuring point (D).
(2) Record the signal (A3) with no audio signal input in the
mode (B), and play back the recorded signal.
(3) Press the channel buttons (+, –) simultaneously to enter
the manual tracking mode. This also brings tracking to
the center (centre).
(4) If the A.PB FM level is not within the specified value (G1),
perform the adjustment in a following procedure.
(5) Set the VCR to the EVR mode by transmitting the code
(F1) from the Jig RCU.
(6) Set the EVR address to (F2) by pressing the button of
the digit-key remote controller.
(7) Adjust with the channel buttons (+, –) on the VCR (or on
the remote controller) so that the A.PB FM level of the
higher channel level becomes the specified value (G1).
(Adjust before recording, then confirm it by playing back.)
(8) If the specified value (G1) is not obtained, adjust with the
channel buttons (+, –) so that the waveform level of the
lower channel level becomes the specified value (G2).
(Adjust before recording, then confirm it by playing back.)
(9) Release the EVR mode of the VCR by transmitting the
code (F1) from the Jig RCU again. (When the EVR mode
is released, the adjusted data is memorized.)
