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 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.

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.

Fig.4

(3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the

wires fully into the connector.

(4) As shown in Fig.6, use the crimping tool to crimp the metal

sleeve at the center position. Be sure to crimp fully to the
complete closure of the tool.

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
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.

Connect the power cord to the wall socket, and lift the
cassette holder.
(Before turning on the power make sure that there is noth­ing which may produce a short circuit, such as faulty sol­dering.)

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.

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 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.

1

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

2

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.

1

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

2

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;

2)

The idler gear is meshed with the take-up reel gear, but incapable of wind­ing 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 wind­ing 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 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.
