SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
1.Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2.Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
3.Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors, that were installed during a previous repair . Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5.Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270˚C
during repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

SERVICE NOTE
1.POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied (8.4V) to the
battery terminal using the service power cord (J-6082-223-A), the
power is shut off so that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are av ailable to pre vent this. Take note
of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B)
to the LANC jack, and set the remote commander switch to the
“ADJ” side.
Method 2.
Press the battery switch of the battery terminal using adhesive tape,
etc.
Method 3.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
1.Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or Display
window what to do. This function consists of two display; selfdiagnosis display and service mode display.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

2.Self-diagnosis Display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or Display window shows a 4-digit display consisting
of an alphabet and numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character
display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem
occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.

3.Service Mode Display
The service mode display shows up to six self-diagnosis codes shown in the past.
3-1.Display Method
While pressing the “STOP” key, set the switch from OFF to “VTR or PLAYER”, and continue pressing the “STOP” key for 5 seconds
continuously. The service mode will be displayed, and the counter will show the backup No. and the 5-character self-diagnosis codes.

Correction
Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (Pin !™ of CN551 of VC214 board) when focusing is performed when the control dial is
rotated in the focus manual mode and the focus motor drive circuit
(IC552 of VC-214 board) when the focusing is not performed.
Note: Use the remote commander RM-95 only for the model without the
focus dial.
Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor (Pin !¢ of CN551 of VC214 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom lens is
operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC552 of VC-214 board)
when zooming is not performed.
