5-2. Cautions in handling the mechanism
(1)Cut washers removed at the time of part replacement etc. should be
replaced with new ones without fail.
(2) Because no volume adjustment is available in this mechanism, cleaning or
part replacement should be performed if the setting is not satisfied.
(3) About oil
a) Be sure to use the specified oil. (If any oil other than the specified oil is
used, various troubles will occur.)
b) When lubricating the bearing, be sure to oil free from foreign particles
such as dust. (If oil in which foreign particles such as dust are mixed is
used, it will cause wear and seizure to the bearing.)
c) The term "One drop of oil" here means the amount of oil on the point of
a needle etc. shown in Fig.1.
(4) Repairing of circuits, final adjustment of running system, etc. should be
performed with the cassette controller assembly installed in the mechanism.
(5) When operating the mechanism singly, apply voltage to the loading motor
to drive it. The voltage between the terminals should be 3 to 4V DC. (Do
not apply external voltage to the loading motor with the mechanism
connected with the main circuit board. Doing so could cause a failure.)
(Turning the gears forcedly by hand may cause them to get damaged.)
When placing the mechanism singly, use an appropriate spacer so that the
capstan motor is not rubbed.
(6) When installing the cassette controller, push the portion indicated by "A" in
Fig.2. Do not push other portions.
(7) Take care not to deform the components of the mechanism.
The items described here are relevant to the general on-site servicing (field service). This section does not cover adjustment and
replacement for which sophisticated equipment, jigs and techniques are required.
In order to maintain the initial characteristics of the mechanism, it is necessary to perform maintenance and inspection and also it is
essential not to damage the tape etc. In the case of an adjustment that requires a jig, be sure to use the specified jig.
<Caution>
(1) When adjusting and checking the mechanism, be sure to see that the power supply and the status are as indicated in
Caution on the title.
(2) Do not apply external voltage to the loading motor with the mechanism connected with the main circuit board. (Doing
so could cause a failure.)
(3) When running the tape, be sure to do so with the cassette controller assembly installed.

· It seems that, in most cases, this adjusting method is used when it becomes necessary to adjust the electric circuit as a result of
replacement of worn mechanism parts or the video head. When adjusting the electric circuit, check that the mechanism operates
properly (the mechanism is adjusted completely). If a failure occurs in the electric circuit, be sure to locate the fault using a
measuring instrument and then perform repairing, replacement and adjustment, as described in this adjusting method.
Avoid performing undue adjustments etc. without using proper measuring instruments.
· The electric circuit components in the circuit board unit of this product are densely-packed into packages. Most of them are surfacemounted for downsizing.
When replacing components in servicing the product, perform replacement work swiftly with a soldering iron.
In general, surface-mounted components are inferior in heat resistance to large-sized discrete components used in TV sets,
stationary decks, etc. Heating the electrode of a surface-mounted component with a soldering iron for a long time needlessly will
therefore lead to a failure. Take great care not to do so.
Take special care in this respect when replacing chip multilayer capacitors in particular.
We recommend you to use a ceramic soldering iron (Tip temperature: 250°C, Contact time: 5 seconds or less).

Note: The adjustment data are stored in the E
PROM as shown below. When making changes, it is therefore necessary to perform
rewriting of data and checking of the latest data.
1) E2PROM (IC705) on main unit
Lens-related data and signal system adjustment data
(3) Auto focus adjustment mode
· The camera of this unit features automatic focussing by means of a microcomputer.
The auto focus circuit of this unit performs focusing operation based on the principle that the high frequency component in the video
signal increases as focus is achieved. In addition, in order to achieve a large magnification with a small-size lens, the inner focus
system is employed in which a master lens (rear lens) is moved forward and backward for focusing. This inner focus system enables
full range focussing with a focal length range of 10 mm to infinite distance. However, because the maximum allowable distance
from the closest subject to the tele end is 1.5 m, a subject less than 1.5 m away from the tele end cannot be focused on if it is shot
at the tele end. In such cases, zooming-out is performed automatically for focusing.
The major factors of the auto focus system are as follows:
• Detection of master lens position
• Detection of iris position
• Detection of zoom lens reference position
These detection data are stored in the E
2
PROM.
Therefore (3) auto focus adjustment should be performed in the following cases.
• When the lens is replaced
• When the CCD is replaced
• When the E2PROM is replaced
• When the CCD circuit board and CAMHEAD circuit board are replaced
1) How to enter the auto focus adjustment mode
Set the data value at address "13FE" to " 01".
]
The screen will be white-faded temporarily and the auto focus adjustment mode will be established.
* When the auto focus adjustment mode is established, make adjustment according to "(5) Camera adjusting procedure".
* In the auto focus adjustment mode, lens operation cannot be performed.
2) How to enter the normal mode
Set the data value at address "13FE" to " FF".
]
The screen will be white-faded temporarily and the normal mode will be established.

(6) How to replace the gyro unit
2
1) When replacing the E
PROM on the main unit with the gyro unit kept unchanged
Because the gyro adjustment data is stored in the E2PROM, read the data at address "1064" and write it into the new E2PROM
after replacement.
2) When replacing the gyro sensor (RMC1001)
After replacing the gyro sensor with the specified one, write the following data at address "1064".
The following adjustments are performed automatically by establishing the auto focus adjustment mode and writing the following
data at address "13FD" sequentially. The adjustment items are as shown in the table below. When an adjustment is completed
normally, data "FF" is written, which should be confirmed before proceeding to the next adjustment.
AddressDataAdjustment item
13FD0012Adjustment of wide end
0008Adjustment of tele end focus ∞ position
0006Adjustment of wide end focus ∞ position
000DAdjustment of zoom tracking
Note 1: During the adjustment of ∞ position, a subject should be shot actually. Make this adjustment while shooting a subject with
a clear-cut outline. In the case of the adjustment of tele end focus ∞ position in particular, if it is performed without shooting
a distant subject actually, the ∞ position will not be adjusted properly.
Adjustment of wide end focus ∞ position: 3 m or more
Adjustment of tele end focus ∞ position: 50 m or more
Note 2: In the case of the adjustment of ∞ position, the depth of field is important in insuring accuracy. If the depth of field is deep,
the ∞ position may be adjusted improperly the subject hardly falls out of focus. Make this adjustment with the depth of
field being shallow (the iris opened).
It is possible to open the iris using the high-speed shutter.
1. Establish the normal mode.
2. Call the V-V adjust sports mode in normal operation. (Refer to the instruction manual.)
3. Display "CAM ADJ" by using the remote control for servicing.
4. Establish the auto focus adjustment mode.
5. Perform the adjustment of ∞ position.
6. After the completion of the adjustment of ∞ position, set the V-V adjust back to the off position.
After canceling the auto focus adjustment mode (to write the data " FF" in the address "13FE"), set to the adjustment mode
while in the camera signal system adjustment mode (to write the data " 00" in the address "0000").
