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 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.

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.

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) If any other major parts are used, remove them also. (5) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that
have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig.1-4-
1a.) (6) Place the combined Mechanism, Main board and other
board assemblies upside down. (7) 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 cas-
sette 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.

1.4.2 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”.
(1)
Insert a cassette halfway in the Cassette holder assembly.
(2) Set the switch on the REC safety board assembly to on
(by pressing the switch).
As soon as the cassette starts to be loaded, set the switch on
(3)
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.
(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.
Note:
• 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.

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 board as-
sembly with a jump wire. (Refer to Fig. 1-4-1a.) (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

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 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.

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.

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 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.

INITIAL MODE
DATA CODE
CUSTOM CODE 43: A CODE
[Data transmitting method] Depress the “ ” ( 3 ) button after the data code is set.
Jig RCU
The video navigation function built into this unit works by stor­ing the video navigation data in the internal Flash memory and writing data in the cassette tape simultaneously. Therefore, the Flash memory and the cassette tape (self- re­corded 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.
(5) Press the “STOP” button of the master unit.
When copying is started,“3” will be displayed on the FDP and when copying is completed the FDP display changes from “3” to “4” . When an error occurs during the copying process, “5” will be displayed on the FDP. During such an occurrence the slave unit FDP display is “1” .

(1) Set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which
codes from the Jig RCU can be received).
(2) Turn off the power of the 2 units (slave and master) VCR
and set it without a cassette tape.
(3) Press the “PLAY” button of the slave unit for 7 seconds.
When the copy mode is set, “1” will be displayed on the FDP. (To cancel the copy mode, press the “PLAY” but­ton of the slave unit.)
(6) Press the“STOP” button of the master unit.
The copy mode of the master and slave unit will be can­celled simultaneously.
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, it is required to set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes from the Jig RCU can be received).
