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.
1.1.1 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
comply 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:
• Wires covered with PVC tubing
• Double insulated wires
• High voltage leads
(5) Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:
• Insulation Tape
• PVC tubing
• Spacers
• Insulation sheets for transistors
•Barrier
(6) When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.
quently, 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.
(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 trans former 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.
• Connector part number :E03830-001
• Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper
type which will not damage insulated parts.
• Replacement procedure
a) 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.1-1-3
b) 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.1-1-4
c) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert
the wires fully into the connector.
Metal sleeve
Fig.1-1-1
(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.1-1-2
(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. Conse-

1.1.2 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 followi ng
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 Fig.1-1-11 below.
(3) Clea r ance distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm specified clearance distance (d), (d') between soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic
parts. See Fig.1-1-11 below.
(4) Leaka ge 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 Fig.1-1-9 and following Fig.1-1-12.

1.1.3 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser
diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.1.3.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser dio de) in devices such as DVD players.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sh eet) or an iron plate over it before placing the
traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(3) Handli ng the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before install ation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical
pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
• Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily
destroy the laser diode.
1.1.4 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
(1) Do not subject the tra verse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
(2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the
replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long
a time when attaching it to the connector.
(3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force.
(4) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts th e laser power. Do not turn it.

1.1.6 Precautions for Service
1.1.6.1Handling of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup
(1) Do not touch any peripheral element of the pickup or the actuator.
(2) The trav erse unit and the pickup are precision devices and therefore must not be subjected to strong shock.
(3) Do not use a tester to examine the laser diode. (The diode can easily be destroyed by the internal power supply of the tester.)
(4) To replac e the traverse unit, pul l 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.
1.1.6.2Destruction 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) After removing the flexible wire from the connector (CN101), short-circuit the flexible wire by the metal clip.
(4) Short-circuit the laser diode by soldering the land which is provided at the center of the flexible wire for the pickup.
After completing the repair, remove the solder to open the circuit.

history
If the mechanism mode does not change to the next mode within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, while
the mechanism is in the after-loading position (with the tape up against
the pole base), [E:01] is identified and the power is switched OFF.
However, if the tape loading is not completed within 4 seconds after
the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, the tape is
simply unloaded and ejected. No EMG data is recorded in this case.
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 falling edje of 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. In this case, however, the mechanism should be in position after tape loading. Note that the reel
EMG is not detected during Slow/Frame advance operations.
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.
If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7
seconds after the cassette housing has started the cassette ejection operation, [E:05] is identified, the drive direction is reversed
to load the tape, the mode is switched to STOP mode with the
pinch roller OFF, and the power is switched OFF.
During the cassette insertion process, the drive direction is reversed
and the cassette is ejected if the tape is not up against the pole
base within about 3 seconds after the start of the cassette pullingin operation. If the cassette does not reach the eject position within
about 0.7 seconds after the drive mode reversal operation, [E:05]
is identified and the power is switched 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 SLOW/
STILL modes.
Note that, if the part number of the System Control IC begins with
"MN" or "M3", the capstan EMG is not detected even during the
FF/REW operation.
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 falling edge of 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). In this case, however, the mechanism should be
in the position after tape loading (with the tape up against the pole
base). Also note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/
Frame advance operations.
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:U1] is identified and recorded in the emergency history.
During the period in which the head clog is detected, the FDP shows "U:01" and the OSD repeats the "3 seconds of warning display" and the "7 seconds of
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 the mode transition during a tape loading operation.
2.
The mechanism overruns during the tape loading operation because the SYSCON cannot recognize
the mechanism mode normally. This problem is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure.
3.
Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)
1.
The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.
2.
Without an eject signal being sent from the SYSCON, unloading is attempted (i.e. Ejection is attempted
while the tape is still inside the mechanism.) because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism
mode normally. This is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure. (Mechanism position:
UPPER)
3.
Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)
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 because the mechanism mal-functions for
some reason.
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 reel is rotating normally but an FG pulse is not generated due to the take-up reel sensor failure.
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 because the mechanism mal-functions for
some reason.
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 reel rotates normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.
3.
Power(SW5V) is not supplied to the reel sensor on the tape winding side.
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 (M12V) 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 (M12V) 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 (M12V, SW5V) are 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 (5V) 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.
The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF,
1.
etc.) because;
1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cassette 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 reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.
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 take up 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 reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a take-up reel sensor failure.
3.
The power (SW 5V) to a reel sensor is not supplied.

2.6 Service position
This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism an d 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.
2.6.1 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 tha t fix the Mechanism assembly to
the Chassis assembly. If any other screws are used to fix
the boards, remove them also.
(3) Remove the combined Mechanism and Main board assem-
blies.
(4) If any other major parts are used, remove th em also.
(5) Conn ect the wires and connectors of the major parts that
have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig. 2-6-
1a.)
(6) Place the combined Mechanism, Main board and other
board assemblies upside down.
(7) Inse rt 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 parts and
details of the precautions to be taken, see “2 .3 Removing the major parts”.
• 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 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 bo ards in the “Service
position”, make sure that the connectors are not disconnected.

2.7 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.

2.7.2 Setting the User RCU mode
(1) Turn off the pow er.
(2) Press the “REC” and “PAUSE” buttons of the VCR simulta-
neously. Alternatively, transmit the code “80” from the Jig
RCU.
2.8 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”.
2.8.1 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 the Cassette holder and then slide 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.
2.8.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"
(1) Unplug the power cord plu g from the power outlet.
2.9 Maintenance and inspection
2.9.1 Cleaning
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 cleani ng, make sure that the cleaned parts are com-
pletely dry before using the cassette tape.
2.9.3 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.

3.1.7 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 adjust-
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
Code20212223242526272829
• 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.

3.2 Mechanism 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 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.3-2-2a.)
