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.
· 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 l.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor
paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all
exposed metal cabinet parts and a known ground,
such as a water pipe or conduit.
· Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm per volt, or higher
sensitivity or measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor (See Diagram).
· 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 magnétoscope à l’utilisateur, effectuer
les vérifications de sécurité suivantes.
1. Vérifier toutes les gaines de fil pour être sûr que les fils
ne sont pas pincés ou que le matériel n’est pas coincé
entre le châssis et les autres pièces métalliques dans le
magnétoscope.
2. Vérifier tous les dispositifs de protection tels que les
boutons de commande non métalliques, les matériaux
d’isolement, le dos du coffret, les couvercles de
compartiment et ajustement ou les boucliers, les
réseaux de résistance / condensateur d’isolement,
Ies isolateurs mécaniques, etc.
3. Pour être sûr qu’il n’y a aucun risque de choc électrique,
vérifier le courant de fuite de la maniére 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 à pinces et connecter une résistance
de 10 watts 1,5 kohm en parallèle avec un
condensateur de 0,15 µF en série avec des pièces du
coffret métallique exposées et une masse de terre
connue telle qu’un tuyau ou un conduit d’eau.
· Utiliser un VTVM ou VOM avec une sensibilité de
1000 ohms par volt ou plus ou mesurer la chute de
tension CA entre la résistance (voir diagramme).
· Déposer la connexion de la résistance à toutes les
pièces métalliques exposées ayant un parcours de
retour au châssis (connexions d’antenne, coffret
métallique, tétes de vis, boutons et arbres de commande,
etc.) et mesurer la chute de tension CA entre la résistance.
Inverser la fiche CA (une fiche intermédiaire non polarisée
doit être utilisée à seule fin de faire ces vérifications.) sur
l’appareil et répéter les mesures de tension CA pour
chaque piéce métallique exposée. Toute lecture de
0,45 V rms (ceci correspond à 0,3 mA rms CA) ou plus
est excessive et signale un danger de choc qui doit être
corrigé avant de rendre le magnétoscope à son
utilisateur.

■ PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER
1) Employing lead-free solder
"Main PWB", "CCD PWB", "Sub PWB", "LCD PWB", "Head amp PWB", "Lithium PWB", "Operation PWB", "VCR
Operation PWB", "Zoom SW PWB", "Mecha Reversion detection PWB", of this model employs lead-free solder. The
LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character
following LF shows the type of lead-free solder.
Example:
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper
2) Using lead-free solder
When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional lead
wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40°C, we recommend you to
use a dedicated soldering bit. If you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free solder or soldering bit, contact our
service station or service ranch in your area.
3) Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is 220°C which is higher than the conventional lead solder by 40°C,
and as it has poor solderability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the PWB for extended period
of time. However, since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance temperature of parts may be
exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you confirm the steady soldering condition.
Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to turn on and
off the power of the bit as required.
If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit after every
use of it.
When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper.

6-2. 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.

7. ADJUSTING AND CHECKING OF 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.
7-1. Checking of PB (REC) winding torque
AC adapter used, Cassette controller assembly installed
(1) Set the torque cassette with the cassette controller installed in the mechanism. In the SP record mode (or in the PB mode
if signals have been SP-recorded on the tape), check that the winding torque is within spec.
<Spec for PB (REC) winding torque>(If there is a torque ripple, read the center value.)
0.7+0.2/-0.05N·m, Ripple: 0.1mN·m or less
7-2. Checking of VS-REW winding torque
AC adapter used, Cassette controller assembly not installed (Mechanism only)
(1) Remove the cassette controller, turn ON the down SW while referring to 9-3, operate
in the test mode (T01) and select the VS-REW mode.
(2) Set the torque gauge in the S reel table, push the tip of the tension pole with your finger
in the direction shown by Arrow A to release the tension band, and check that the
winding torque is within spec. (Fig.1) (Do not apply the own weight of the torque
gauge or rotate it during measurement.)
<Spec for VS-REW winding torque>
(If there is a torque ripple, read the center value.)
1.5 ± 0.15N·m, Ripple: 0.15mN·m or less
(3) After checking the winding torque, remove the torque gauge and turn OFF the down
SW. The mechanism will automatically go into the standby mode.
Fig.1 How to release the tension
band when measuring the
VS-REW winding torque
7-3. Checking of height of reel table
3 to 4V DC, Cassette controller assembly not installed (Mechanism only)
(1) Remove the cassette controller. (Refer to 9-2.)
(2) Apply 3 to 4V DC to the loading motor while referring to 9-1 and select the
PB mode.
(3) Fit the holes of the master plane to the two guides (portions A and B) shown
in the Fig.2, taking great care not to allow master plane to strike the running
parts such as the drum and guide roller or the MIC contact.
(4) Using a pair of vernier calipers etc., measure the heights of the reel-supporting
faces of the S reel table and Tu reel table from the top face of the master plane
and check that the measured heights satisfy the set values. (Fig.3)
When measuring the height of the S reel table, push the tip of the tension
pole with your finger in the direction shown by Arrow A to release the tension
band. (Fig.1)
(5) If the measured height does not satisfy the set value, replace the reel table

9. ASSEMBLING OF MECHANISM SECTION AND PART REPLACEMENT
(DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING)
This section describes the method of assembling the mechanism section and the method of part replacement.
For how to remove the cabinet etc., refer to " 4. DISASSEMBLY OF THE SET".
<Cautions>
1. Cut washers removed at the time of part replacement etc. should be replaced with new ones without fail.
2. When assembling the mechanism, take care to prevent screws, washers and foreign matter from getting into it. If such things
get into the mechanism, it will cause the mechanism to malfunction.
3. Be sure to use the specified cleaning liquid, oil, grease and loctite adhesive shown below. Failure to do so will cause the
mechanism to malfunction.
To operate the mechanism singly, apply 3 to 4V DC to the loading motor.
(Do not apply external voltage to the loading motor with the mechanism connected with the main circuit board. Doing so could cause a failure.)
(1) Ejection mode
This mode is used to take out a cassette. In this mode, the
ejection lever is shifted farthest in the direction shown by
Arrow A. (In this mode, the cassette controller assembly
cannot be locked.)
(2) Standby mode
This mode is used to set a cassette. In this mode, the slide
chassis is farthest away from the drum and the ejection lever
is turned (the cassette controller assembly can be locked).
(The tip of the ejection lever is hidden behind the main chassis
and the moving part of the down SW is visible.)

10. METHOD OF ADJUSTING THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
-Before making adjustment-
· 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).

PROM (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.
]
Pressing the "CONTINUE" key will make the display "CAM ADJ" disappear and make it possible to perform normal operation.

Item
(1) Adjustment of auto focus
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
00010012Adjustment 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.

(2) Basic adjustment of iris
It is performed to adjust the operating point of the hall element installed in the iris meter.
The following adjustments are performed automatically by writing the following data at address "13FD" sequentially in the camera
signal system adjustment mode. The adjustment items are as shown in the table below. When an adjustment is completed
normally, data "00FF" is written automatically.
AddressDataAdjustment item
00010009Adjustment of hall offset
000AAdjustment of iris offset
000BAdjustment of iris close
After exiting the auto focus adjustment mode (writing data " FF" at address "13FE"), establish the camera signal system
adjustment mode (writing data " 00" at address "0000").
(3) Adjustment of black balance/Adjustment of A/F noise
This adjustment is performed automatically by writing data " 01" at address "0001". When the adjustment is completed normally,
data "00FF" is written automatically.
