1. IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTES
BEFORE RETURNING THE VIDEO CAMERA
RECORDER
Before returning the video camera recorder to the user,
perform the following safety checks.
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are
not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between
the chassis and other metal parts in the video camera
recorder.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor/capacitor networks, mechanical insulators etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
leakage current in the following manner.
l Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet
(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).
. Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, IO watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15pF capacitor in series with
all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known ground,
such as a water pipe or conduit.
l Use aVTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm pervolt, or higher
sensitivity or measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor (See Diagram).
l Move the resistor connection to all exposed metal
parts having a return path to the chassis (antenna
connections, metal cabinet, screw heads, knobs and
control shafts, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor. Reverse the AC plug (a non
polarized adaptor plug must be used but only for the
purpose of completing these checks) on the set and
repeat the AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part. Any reading of 0.45V rms (this
corresponds to 0.3mA rms AC.) or more is excessive
and indicates a potential shock hazard which must be
corrected before returning the video camera recorder
to the user.

1. NOTES DE SERVICE IMPORTANTES
AVANT DE RENDRE LE MAGNETOSCOPE
Avant de rendre le magnetoscope a I’utilisateur, effectuer
les verifications de securite suivantes.
i
1. Verifier toutes les gaines de fil pour etre sur que les fils
ne sont pas pin&s ou que le materiel n’est pas coin&
entre le chassis et les autres pieces metalliques dans le
magnetoscope.
2. Verifier tous les dispositifs de protection tels que les
boutons de commande non metalliques, les materiaux
d’isolement, le dos du coffret, les couvercles de
compartiment et ajustement ou les boucliers, les
reseaux de resistance / condensateur d’isolement,
les isolateurs mecaniques, etc.
3. Pour etre stir qu’il n’y a aucun risque de choc electrique,
verifier le courant de fuite de la maniere suivante.
. Brancher le cordon d’alimentation secteur directement
dans une prise de courant de 120 volts. (Ne pas
utiliser de transformateur d’isolement pour cet essai).
. Utiliser deux fils a pinces et connecter une rkistance
de 10 watts 1,5 kohm en parallele avec un
condensateur de 0,15 PF en serie avec des pikes du
coffret mbtallique expos6es et une masse de terre
connue telle qu’un tuyau ou un conduit d’eau.
. Utiliser un VTVM ou VOM avec une sensibilitb de
1000 ohms par volt ou plus ou mesurer la chute de
tension CA entre la ksistance (voir diagramme).
. Deposer la connexion de la resistance a toutes les
pieces metalliques exposees ayant un parcours de
.
retour au chassis (connexions d’antenne, coffret
metallique, tetesdevis, boutons et arbres decommande,
etc.) et mesurer lachutede tension CAentre la resistance.
Inverserlafiche6A(uneficheintermediairenonpolaris~e
doit etre utilisee a seule fin de faire ces verifications.) sur
I’appareil et repeter les mesures de tension CA pour
chaque piece metallique exposee. Toute lecture de
0,45 V rms (ceci correspond a 0,3 mA rms CA) ou plus
est excessive et signale un danger de choc qui doit etre
corrige avant de rendre le magn6toscope 3 son

10. ADJUSTING THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Before starting the electric circuit adjustment
l The adjustment methods described herein are used, in most cases, when the expendable mechanical parts, including
the video head, have been replaced, at which time the electrical circuits need to be readjusted. Before adjusting the
electrical circuits, make sure that the mechanism works properly (i.e., the mechanism is properly adjusted). lncase of
the occurrence of any problem to the electrical circuits, be sure to use the specified measuring instruments to locate
the area to which the problem is occurring, and then take the necessary action,‘including repair, replacement or
adjustment, exactly as instructed in the electrical adjustment methods that will follow.
Do not attempt to make adjustments without using the proper measuring instruments.
l This machine is configured so that the electrical circuits inside its PWB unit are composed, for the most part, of high-
density, small surface-mounted component parts for downsized machine body.
To perform repair service or parts replacement, do so using a soldering iron, but in as short a time as possible; this is
because surface-mounted component parts are generally so small in size and susceptible to heat, as compared with
the large discrete parts used in TV sets, desk-top video decks, etc., that attempting to heat their electrodes for a longer
time than is necessary with a soldering iron may result in their becoming defective.
This applies particularly when replacing the laminated chip capacitors.
For this purpose, ceramic soldering irons with a temperature regulator are recommended (iron tip temperat
and soldering time 5 seconds or shorter).
ure 250°C
The VL-PDI U and other models that follow are newly equipped with the digital interface function. The Digita
IEEE1394 Standard stipulates that each set with the digital interface function be given its specific ID number. The ID
number is written on the E*PROM of the set while it is manufactured. If the E*PROM alone or the PWB having this E*PROM
on it has been replaced for repair purpose, it is necessary to write a new ID number again. (Note that any replacement
part does not have an ID number yet.)
Accordingly, the repair engineer must obtain the new ID number.
Interface
Head amplifier PWB
If the IC302 (E*PROM) or the head amplifier PWB has been replaced, it is necessary to write a new ID number. (Note that
any replacement part does not have an ID number yet.)
Obtain a new ID number from the service department of sales company. Take the following steps to write the ID number
on the E*PROM.
n How to write an ID number on.the E*PROM (Have the adjustment remote control at hand.)
Take this procedure after all the repair complete.
1. Set the power switch to the “VCR” position.

2. Press the “CONTINUE” key first and then the “VCR ADJ” key, both
located on the adjustment remote control.
Make sure an address appears on the LCD monitor. Be careful not
to press the “CONTINUE” and “VCR ADJ” keys at once.
3. Using the “FF” or “REW” key, look for your target address. To
advance the numbers, use the “FF” key. To move them back, use
the “REW” key.
4. Press the “PLAY” key and the address is set up.

Address is selected and specified, with the data called. Then the called data are selected and
fixed. The operation flows in this sequence.
5) When the adjustment is complete:
Press the “CONTINUE” key to let the “CAM ADJ” display disappear from the screen.
Note: Before terminating the adjustments, make sure that the adjustment mode is neither the auto-focus function
adjustment mode nor the camera signal system adjustment mode (these modes are mentioned later).
Camera unit adjustment modes
The camera unit is adjusted in two types of modes: the auto-focus function adjustment mode and the camera signal
system adjustment mode.
_ ’
Note: Each E2PROM contains the adjustment item data as shown below. If it is changed, data rewriting and confirmation
of latest data must be performed.
1) E2PROM on lens unit of camera head section
Lens data, LCD drive timing data
2) IC703 on main unit
Signal system adjustment data
(3)Auto-focus function adjustment mode
l The camera unit uses a microprocessor-controlled auto-focus zoom lens.
The auto-focus circuit incorporated in this unit is designed to execute the image processing where the focusing action
is done by taking advantage of the fact that the high-frequency components in the image signals increase as the focus
intensifies. Moreover, to achieve high magnifying power with a small lens, the camera unit incorporates the inner focus
system in which the focus is shifted by moving the master lens (rear lens) back and forth. This inner focus system is
a full-range focus type by which the focus can be shifted from approximately 10 mm to the infinity. It should be noted,
however, that since the closest subject distance at the telephoto end is fixed at 1.5 m, subjects in a closer range than
1.5 m at the telephoto end will be out of focus. For this reason, the unit is designed so the zoom control is automatically
shifted to the wide angle side until the position is found where the subject can be focused on.
In the auto-focusing system of this until, the following constitute the important factors:
l Master lens position detection data
l Iris position detection data
.Zoom lens position detection data
These detection data are handled and stored by the microprocessor, lens by lens, into the E2PROM.
Therefore, in the following cases, the auto-focus function adjustment is required:
*When the lens has been replaced
@When the CCD has been replaced
*When the E2PROM (located on the lens unit or IC502) has been replaced
1) Shifting to the auto-focus function adjustment mode
Set the data for the address “05FE” to ” [.y:i[.y,< 01 ‘I.
9
This makes the screen fade temporarily in white and shifts to the auto-focus function adjustment mode.
*When this adjustment mode has been shifted to, make the adjustment according to (5) Camera unit adjustment
procedure.
* In this adjustment mode, the lens can not be operated.

2) Shifting to the normal operation mode
Set the data for the address “05FE” to ” ~.1_j~.‘.~_j FF”.
This makes the screen fade temporarily in white and shifts to the normal operation mode.
Press the “CONTINUE” key, and the “CAM ADJ” display goes out of the screen, enabling the normal operation.
(4)Camera signal system adjustment mode
In the camera signal system adjustment mode, the automatic white balance is disabled to allow for the adjustment of
the camera unit. At this time, the white balance mode is fixed at the INDOORS mode and the focus mode is switched
to the manual focus mode.
Shifting to the camera signal system adjustment mode
1)
Set the data for the address “OOBO” to ” i._../ i..../ 00”.
This shifts the mode to the auto-focus function adjustment mode.
*When this adjustment mode has been shifted to, make the adjustment according to (5) Camera unit adjustment
procedure.
Shifting to the normal operation mode
2)
Set the data for the address "OOBO" to ” ~_~.~$~~_~~ FF".
This shifts the mode to the normal operation mode.
Press the “CONTINUE” key, and the “CAM ADJ” display goes out of the screen, enabling the normal operation.

adjustment mode transfer address is different.)
(6)Gyro unit replacement method
I) Replacing the lens without replacing the gyro sensor unit
The gyro adjustment data has been written in the E2PROM of lens. Write the data of address 456 to 459.
2) Replacing the gyro sensor
After replacing the specified gyro sensor, write the following
Set the unit to the auto-focus function adjustment mode and write data to the
address “05FD” one after another. This executed the adjustments automatically.
The items to be adjusted are as listed below. Every time an adjustment is made
properly, the data “FF” is written to the address. After each adjustment, make
sure that the adjustment has been made properly, and then go on to the next
adjustment item.
Address Data Adjustment item
05FD . OOOC MR censor adjustment
0012 WIDE end adjustment
0008 TELE end focus 00 position adjustment
0006
WIDE end focus = position adjustment
Note 1: To adjustment of 00 position is executed by actually picking up the image
of subject. For this adjustment use the subject with clear profile.
Especially, if the adjustment of TELE end focus 00 position is made
without picking up the image of remote subject, adjustment failure may
occur.
Adjustment of WIDE end focus 00 position: 3 m or more
Adjustment of TELE end focus 00 position: 50 m or more
Note 2: In case of = position adjustment the field depth is important to ensure the
adjustment accuracy. If the field depth is high, the focus becomes too
stable , which may cause incorrect adjustment of 00 position. Therefore
the adjustment must be made with low field depth (with iris opened).
The iris can be opened with the high-speed shutter.
1. It returns to the normal operation mode.
2. In the normal operation mode, set the high-speed shutter mode until the iris is
opened. (Refer to the operation manual.)
3. Display “CAM ADJ” with the remote control for service.
4. It shifts to the auto-focus adjustment mode.
5. Perform the 00 position adjustment.
6. After completing the 00 position adjustment, return the high-speed shutter
mode to the normal mode.
(2) Iris basic adjustment
This is for adjusting the operating point of the hole element installed in the iris
meter of the lens.
Set the unit to the auto-focus function adjustment mode and write data to the
address “05FD” one after another. This excutes the adjustments automatically.
The items to be adjusted are as listed below. Every time an adjustment is made
properly, the data “OOFF” is written to the address.
Address Data Adjustment item

“007C”, “007E”, “0080”, “0082”, “0084”.
Write ” i:E i:E FF” (the last two digits are effective) to all of these address.
2) In the camera signal system adjustment mode (the data “~‘-‘.‘~?‘*‘~OO” is written to
the address “OOBO”), write the data “i*““i i? 01” to the address "OOBl ” This starts
the adjustment automatically. When the adjustment is completed properly, the
data “OOFF” is written automatically.
