2.2.3. Self- Diagnosis Mode
This VTR has a Self-Diagnosis function, which detects troubles when undesirable condition occurred.When
one of the following listed trouble is detected, Power is automatically turns off and its error is saved as the
"Error-Code" in Timer microprocessor (IC7501).(Threeerror codes can be memorized in historical order and
are backed up by the Lithium Battery;B7901.)
NOTE:
It is not automatically displayed on the Front Panel Display although trouble has been detected. (It means that user can
not be recognized what is happened.)
2.2.3.1. How To Confirm The "Error Code".
The Error Code can be confirmed on the Front Panel Display by placing the unit to the Service Mode 3, 4
and/or 5.
1. Turn on the Service Mode by pressing "FF" and "EJECT" buttons simultaneously in more than 3 seconds.
2. Select the Service Mode 3, 4 or 5 by pressing the "FF" and "EJECT" buttons simultaneously in certain time.The error
codes can be displayed Service Mode 3, 4 and 5 in historical order.
Service Mode 3 displays the last Error Code on the FIP.
Service Mode 4 displays the Error Code on the FIP, which is just before the error code displayed in Service Mode 3.
Service Mode 5 displays the Error Code on the FIP, which is just before the error code displayed in Service Mode 4.
NOTE:
Although same errors are occurred in several times, only first error code is memorized.(When the error is occurred, it is
compared with the memorized data. If the just occurred error is same as the memorized one, it is skipped to be
memorizing.)

1. Utilizing the Service Mode 7.
2. Utilizing the Extra DC power (batteries).
2.2.4.1. Utilizing the Service Mode 7
Procedures:
1. Remove the Top panel.
[Refer to the "Disassembly Procedures" section.]
2. Turn on the Service mode and select mode 7.
[Refer to the "Service Mode" section.]
In this mode, when the "STOP" button is pressed, loading motor rotates unloading direction.
Also when the "PLAY" button is pressed, loading motor rotates loading direction.
This action is effective only while either "STOP" or "PLAY" button is being pressed.
NOTE:
While loading/unloading operation, pay attention to the tape slack.
3. Press the "STOP" button until "7 02 00"(Cassette Down position) is displayed on the F.I.P. display.
Fig. 2-9
4. Be sure to confirm no tape slack and take up the tape slack by rotating Capstan with hand if necessarily.
5. Press the "STOP" button until "7 02 03"(Cassette Eject position) is displayed on the F.I.P. display.
Fig. 2-10
6. Take out the tape carefully.
2.2.4.2. Utilizing the Extra DC power (batteries)
Procedures:
1. Remove the Mechanism unit from the chassis.
[Refer to the "Disassembly Procedures" section.]
2. Remove the Digital C.B.A. from the Mechanism unit.
3. Remove the shield case of capstan unit.
4. Connect the Flexible card (VFK1530).
5. Supply the+B (4.5V) to VFK1530 to activate the unloading operation.
In this case, stop supplying the power at just before the mechanism to be the unloading complete position (Tension post
is not retracted fully), otherwise, the tape slack can not be taken although capstan is rotated with hand.
6. Confirm that no tape slack and supply the power again to make full unloading position (Tension post is retracted fully).
Take up the tape slack by rotating Capstan with hand if necessarily.
7. Rotate the worm wheel with hand in counterclockwise, then take out the tape carefully.

2. Unsolder the Lithium Battery;B7901"CR2354-1GUF" and then replace it into new one.(See
Fig. B1)
Fig. B1
CAUTION:
The lithium battery is a critical component (Type No.: CR2354-1GUF Manufactured by Panasonic.) / It must never be
subjected to excessive heat or discharge. / It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use. /
Replacementbatteries must be of the same type and manufacture. / They must be fitted in the same manner and location
as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts observed. / Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it
for any otherpurpose. / It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.
