(4) To replace the traverse unit, pull out the metal short pin for protection from charging.
(5) When replacing the pickup, after mounting a new pickup, remove the solder on the short land which is provided at the center of
the flexible wire to open the circuit.
(6) Half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment are adjusted in pairs at shipment to match the characteristics of the optical block.
Do not change the setting of these half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment.
1.4.2 Destruction of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup by Static Electricity
Laser diodes are easily destroyed by static electricity charged on clothingor the human body. Before repairing peripheral elements of
the traverse unit or pickup, be sure to take the following electrostatic protection:
(1) Wear an antistatic wrist wrap.
(2) With a conductive sheet or a steel plate on the workbench on which the traverse unit or the pick up is to be repaired, ground the
sheet or the plate.
(3) It solders to two short circuit sections on the substrate of a pick-up.
(4) After removing the flexible wire from the connector (CN101
(5) Short-circuit the laser diode by soldering the land which is provided at the center of the flexible wire for the pickup.

2.2 Service position
This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism an d Main
board assemblies can be removed together from the bottom
chassis. Before diagnosing or servicing the circuit boards, take
out the major parts from the bottom chassis.
2.2.1 How to set the "Service position"
(1) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the disas-
sembly of the major parts before removing the Mechanism
assembly.
(2) Remove the screws that fix the Mechanism, Regulator
board assembly to the bottom chassis. If any other screws
are used to fix the boards, remove them also.
(3) Remove the combined Mechanism,Regulator borad and
Main board assemblies.
(4) If any other major parts are used, remove them also.
(5) Connect the wires an d connectors of the major parts that
have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig. 2-2a.)
(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 as-
sembly.
Notes:
• Before inserting the power cord plug into the power out-
let, 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 par ts and
details of the precautions to be taken, see "Removing
the major parts".
• If there are wire connections from the Main board an d
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 do wn. If the mechanism mode is changed (including ejection) while it is in
an upside down position the tape inside may be damaged.
• For some models, the mechanism and board assem-
blies are attached by connectors only. When carrying
out a diagnosis or repair of the boards in the "Service
position", make sure that the connectors are not disconnected.

2.3 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 servicing.
When using the Jig RCU, it is required to set th e 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.
Note:
• Confirm the RCU mode when exchanged parts. Since
some SERVICE PARTS sets the VCR to the Jig RCU
mode as initial setting. Therefore please set the VCR to
the user RCU mode after replacing the EEPROM.

2.3.1 Setting the Jig RCU mode
(1) Turn on the power.
(2) Press the following remocon keys continuously within 2
seconds " SET UP MENU " → " 2 " → " 8 " → " OK ".
When the VCR is set to the Jig RCU mode, the symbols
( " : " ) in the time display of the FDP are turned off.
(Refer to Fig.2-3a)
(No.YD002)1-9
2.3.2 Setting the User RCU mode
(1) Turn off the power.
(2) Press the "REC" and "PAUSE" buttons of the VCR si mul-
taneously. Alternatively, transmit the code "80" from the Jig
RCU.
2.4 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".
2.4.1 How to set the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Set the VCR to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which
codes from the Jig RCU can be received)
(2) Transmit the code "E5" from the Jig RCU.
(3) Release the lug of th e Cassette holder and then slid e the
Cassette holder toward the direction where the Cassette
holder is loaded by manually.
(4) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has
completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.
When the VCR is set to the Mechanism service mode, the
symbols ("Timer") in the FDP (LED) are blinked.
2.4.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
2.5 Maintenance and inspection
2.5.1 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.
Note:
• Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically as
this will cause damage to the video head.
(1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video head),
soak a piece of closely woven cloth with alcohol and while
holding the cloth onto the upper drum by the fingers, turn
the upper drum counterclockwise.
(2) To clean the parts of the tap e transport system other than
the upper drum, use a piece of closely woven cloth or a cot-
ton swab soaked with alcohol.
(3) After cleaning, make sure that the cleaned parts are com-
pletely dry before using the cassette tape.
2.5.2 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.
2.5.3 Suggested servicing schedule for main components
The following table indicates the suggested perio d 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 b rought 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.

4.1.7 EVR Adjustment
Some of the electrical adjustments require the adjustment performed by the EVR system. The main unit 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 adju st-
ment 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-key0123456789
Code 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 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 th at the
FDP indication is changed to the EVR mode, as shown
below.

4.2 Mechanism compatibility adjustment [VHS SECTION]
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 pa rt of the
tape transport system.
• To prevent damaging the alignment tape in the compatibil-
ity adjustment, prepare a cassette tape (for self-recording/
playback), perform a test on it by transporting it and making sure that the tape is not bent by the tape transport
mechanisms such as in the guide rollers.(See Fig.4-2b.)

If a drop in level is found on the left side, turn the guide roll-
er 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. 4-2c.)

4.4.7.3 Adjustment
(1) Set the main body at test mode.
(2) Press the "SET UP MENU" key of the remote controller three times, and the FDP is displayed "CHECK".
(3) Insert a test disc (VT-501), and press the "P LAY" butto n of the front panel.
(4) After a few seconds, press the numeric key "6" of the remote controller. Then, the FDP is displays a jitter value.
(5) Turn the adjustment screws on the underside of the traverse mechanism with screw driver until the maximum jitter value is dis-
played on the FDP. (In this model, a bigger jitter value means a better result.)
NOTE:
• Reference values to judge whether the jitter is allowable or not are displayed, instead of actual jitter values.
• Please be sure to perform "all-initialization" and "optimization adjustment of front end parameter" after adjusting.

TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 Manually removing the cassette tape
If you cannot remove the cassette tape which is loaded because
of any electrical or mechanical failures, manually remove it by
taking the following steps.
(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.
(2) Refer to the di sassembly procedure of the VCR and per-
form the disassembly of the major parts before removing
the mechanism assembly. (See Fig. 5-1a)

Tension arm assembly
Pole base assembly
Pinch roller arm assembly
(3) Unload the pole base assembly by man ually turning the
gear of the loading motor until the pole base assembly is
hidden behind the cassette lid. In doing so, hold the tape by
the hand to keep the slack away from any grease. (See
Fig.5-1b )
In case of mechanical failures, while keeping the tension arm assembly free from tension, pull out the tape
on the pole base assembly. Take the spring(a) of the
pinch roller arm assembly off the hook, and detach it
from the tape.
(4) Remove the screw (a) of the side frame (L/R).
(5) Hold the slack tape and cassette cover togethe r, lift the
cassette tape, top frame, cassette holder and side frames
(L, R) together from the rear and remove them by dis-engaging the hooks (a) and (b).
