Save the EVR data to a personal computer.

Download the saved data to a machine.

EVR Data Re-writing Procedure When Replacing Board

The data that is stored in the repair board, is not necessarily correct.

Perform either procedure 1 or procedure 2 or procedure 3 when replacing board.

Procedure 1

Save the EVR data of the machine in which a board is going to be replaced. Download the saved data after a board is replaced.

Procedure 2

Remove the EEPROM from the board of the machine that is going to be repaired. Install the removed EEPROM to the replaced board.

Remove the EEPROM and install it.

(Former board)

(New board)

Procedure 3

When the data cannot be saved due to defective EEPROM, or when the EEPROM cannot be removed or installed, save the data from the same model of the same destination, and download it.

(Machine to be repaired) (Machine to be repaired)

Download the data.

(The same model of the same destination)

After the EVR data is saved and downloaded, chec k the respective items of the EVR data. (Refer to page 6-3 or 6-5 for the items to be checked)

2) Mixed color compensation chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) Remove the color bar chart from the pattern box and insert a mixed color compensation chart in its place. (Do not perform zoom operations during this time)

3) Chart for flange back adjustment

Join together a piece of white A0 size paper (1189mm × 841 mm) and a piece of black paper to make the chart shown in Fig. 6-1-5.

Note: Use a non-reflecting and non-glazing vellum paper. The

size must be A0 or larger and the joint between the white and black paper must not have any undulations.

Modifying method:

1) Before changing the data, select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.

2) New data for changing are not shown in the tables because they are different in destination. When changing the data, cop y the data built in the same model. Note 1: If copy the data built in the different model, the

camcorder may not operate.

3) When changing the data, press the PAUSE button of the adjustment remote commander each time when setting new data to write the data in the non-volatile memory.

4) Check that the data of adjustment addresses is the initial value. If not, change the data to the initial value.

If the A, B, D, 1A, 1B page data has been initialized, change the data of the “Fixed data-2” address shown in the follo wing table by manual input.

Modifying Method:

1) Before changing the data, select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.

2) If modification of data on pages A, B, D, set data: 00 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages A, B, D.

3) If modification of data on pages 1A, 1B, set data: 01 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages A, B. After the modification of data finished, return the data on page: 0, address: 10 to “00”.

4) New data for changing are not shown in the tables because they are different in destination. When changing the data, cop y the data built in the same model. Note 1: If copy the data built in the different model, the

camcorder may not operate.

5) When changing the data, press the PAUSE button of the adjustment remote commander each time when setting new data to write the data in the non-volatile memory.

6) Check that the data of adjustment addresses is the initial value. If not, change the data to the initial value.

Preparation for adjustment:

1) Play a monoscope portion of the System Check tape (XH5-5 (NTSC) or XH5-5P (PAL)).

2) Stick the optical axis deviation specification frame to the monitor screen so that the center of monoscope coincides with the center of specification frame.

3) Select the CAMERA mode (Non MS model) or CAMERATAPE mode (MS model).

Adjusting method:

1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.

2) Select page: F, address: 5A (Non MS model) or address: 66 (MS model), and set data: 00, then press the P A USE b utton on the adjusting remote commander.

3) Place the Siemens Star at 2 m position away from the lens.

4) Shoot the Siemens Star with the zoom at TELE end.

5) Change the lens direction so that the center of Siemens Star coincides with the center of optical axis deviation specification frame.

6) Shoot the Siemens Star with the zoom at WIDE end.

7) Check on the monitor TV which area the center of Siemens Star exists of the optical axis deviation specification frame. At this time, measure the amount of deviation “L1” (distance from the center of Siemens Star to the center of optical axis deviation specification frame).

8) From the following table, read correction data according to the area.

9) Select page: F, address: 5A (Non MS model) or address: 66 (MS model), and set correction data, then press the PAUSE button on the adjusting remote commander.

10) Shoot the Siemens Star with the z oom at TELE end.

11) Change the lens direction so that the center of Siemens Star coincides with the center of optical axis deviation specification frame.

Precautions on the parts replacement

There are two types of repair parts.

Type A ENC03MA

Type B ENC03MB Replace the broken sensor with a same type sensor. If replace with other type parts, the image will vibrate up and down or left and right during hand-shake correction operations.

Precautions on angular velocity sensor

The sensor incorporates a precision oscillator. Handle it with care as if it dropped, the balance of the oscillator will be disrupted and operations will not be performed properly.

7) Caluculate D4 using following equations (decimal caluculation). (0

D4 = D2 – D

225)

Example: If D2 = 12345 and D3 = 12288,

D4 = 12345 – 12288 = 57

8) Convert D4 into a hexadecimal number to obtain H4. (See T able 6-4-1 “Hexadecimal - decimal conversion table” in 6-4. Service Mode) Example: If D4 = 57,

H4 = 39

9) Enter higher two digits of H3 to address: E6 on page: C. Example: If H3 = 3000, select page: C, address: E6, and set data: 30, then press the PAUSE button.

10) Enter H4 to address: E7 on page: C. Example: If H4 = 39, select page: C, address: E7, and set data: 39, then press the PAUSE button.

11) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.

4-1. ADJUSTMENT REMOTE COMMANDER

The adjustment remote commander is used for changing the calculation coefficient in signal processing, EVR data, etc. The adjustment remote commander performs bi-directional communication with the unit using the remote commander signal line (LANC). The resultant data of this bi-directional communication is written in the non-volatile memory.

1. Using the Adjustment Remote Commander

1) Connect the adjustment remote commander to the LANC terminal.

2) Set the HOLD switch of the adjustment remote commander to “HOLD” (SERVICE position). If it has been properly connected, the LCD on the adjustment remote commander will display as shown in Fig. 6-4-1.

Data

2. Precautions Upon Using the Adjustment Remote Commander

Mishandling of the adjustment remote commander may erase the correct adjustment data at times. T o prev ent this, it is recommended that all adjustment data be noted down before beginning adjustments and new adjustment data after each adjustment.

Fig. 6-4-1

3) Operate the adjustment remote commander as follows.

• Changing the page

The page increases when the EDIT SEARCH+ button is pressed, and decreases when the EDIT SEARCH– button is pressed. There are altogether 16 pages, from 0 to F.

• Changing the address

The address increases when the FF (M) button is pressed, and decreases when the REW (m) button is pressed. There are altogether 256 addresses, from 00 to FF.

• Changing the data (Data setting)

The data increases when the PLAY (N) button is pressed, and decreases when the STOP (x) button is pressed. There are altogether 256 data, from 00 to FF.

• Writing the adjustment data

The P AUSE button must be pressed to write the adjustment data in the nonvolatile memory . (The ne w adjusting data will not be recorded in the nonvolatile memory if this step is not performed)

4) After completing all adjustments, turn off the main power supply (8.4 V) once.

4-2. DATA PROCESS

The calculation of the DDS display and the adjustment remote commander display data (hexadecimal notation) are required for obtaining the adjustment data of some adjustment items. In this case, after converting the hexadecimal notation to decimal notation, calculate and convert the result to hexadecimal notation, and use it as the adjustment data.
