ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

1. PG ADJUSTMENT

1. Connect CH-1 of the oscilloscope to W357 and W362,

and adjust it to 1Vp-p as TRIGGER.WAVEFORM (In case of 10:1 Probe, adjust it 50m Vp-p)

2.Connect CH-2 of the oscilloscope to V.OUT JACK and adjust it to 0.5Vp-p.

(In case of 10:1 Probe, adjust it 50 Vp-p)

3.Adjust time of the oscilloscope to 0.1 msec.

4.Adjust the range between FLLING EDGE part of video vertical trigger signal and video vertical trigger signal to the specification(416??20 sec) with changing VR501.

??? Caution

When repairing the power part just after pulling out the power code, there is hazard of electical shock caused by the charged electricity at the peripheral circuit component(primary power) such as condenser C807(150???F). So begin repairing after doing procedure below.

1.Set the volt meter up to resistance measurement.(In case of digital volt meter, set it up to over 20M??.)

2.Discharge electicity with putting the measuring terminal lines(+, 1 probe) of volt meter at the ends of condenser C103.(You don???t have to put the polarity of the measuring terminal lines on the same polarity of the condenser.)

DECK MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT

2.Preparation for Adjustment (To set the Deck Mechanism of the loading state

without inserting a cassette tape).

1)Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

2)Disassemble the Top Cover and Plate Assembly Top.

3)Plug the power cord into the AC outlet.

4)Turn the power S/W on and push the Lever Stopper of the Holder Assembly CST to the back for loading the

cassette without tape.

Cover the holes of the End Sensors at the both sides of the Chassis to prevent a light leak.

Then the Deck Mechanism drives to the Stop Mode. In this case, the Deck Mechanism can accept inputs of each mode, however the Rewind and Review operation can not be performed for more than a few seconds because the Take-up Reel Table is in the Stop State and can not be detected the Reel Pulses.

3. Checking Torque

Purpose: To insure smooth transport of the tape during each mode of operation.

If the tape transport is abnormal, then check the torque as indicated by the chart below.

The values are measured by using a Torque Gauge and Torque Gauge Adaptor with the Torque Gauge affixed.

The torque reading to measure occurs when the tape abruptly changes direction from Fast Forward to Rewind Mode, when quick braking is applied to both Reels.

Purpose: To regulate the height of the tape so that the bottom of the tape runs along the tape guide line on the Lower Drum.

4-1. Preliminary Adjustment

Adjustment Procedure

1)Confirm if the tape runs along the tape guide line of the Lower Drum.

2)If the tape runs the bottom of the guide line, turn the Guide Roller Height Adjustment Screw to clockwise direction.

3)If it runs the top, turn to counterclockwise direction.

4)Adjust the height of the Guide Roller to be guided to the guide line of the Lower Drum from the starting and end- ing point of the Drum.

5. Audio/Control (A/C) Head Adjustment

Purpose: To insure that the tape passes accurately over the Audio and Control Tracks in exact alignment of the both Record and Playback Modes.

5-1. Preliminary Adjustment (Height and Tilt Adjustment)

Perform the Preliminary Adjustment, when there is no Audio Output Signal with the Alignment Tape.

Adjustment Procedure/Diagrams

1)Initially adjust the Base Assembly A/C Head as shown Fig. C-5-1 by using the Height Adjustment Screw(B).

2)Play a blank tape and observe if the tape passes accu- rately over the A/C Head without tape curling or folding.

3)If folding or curling is occured then adjust the Tilt Adjustment Screw(C) while the tape is running to resem- ble Fig. C-5-3.

4)Reconfirm the tape path after Playback about 4~5 sec- onds.

NOTE

Ideal A/C head height occurs when the tape runs between 0.2~0.25mm above the bottom edge of the A/C Head core.

DECK MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT

5-2. Confirm that the tape passes smoothly between the Take-up Guide and Pinch Roller(using a mirror or the naked eye).

1)After completing Step 5-1.(Preliminary Adjustment), check that the tape passes around the Take-up Guide and Pinch Roller without folding or curling at the top or bottom.

(1)If folding or curling is observed at the bottom of the Take-up Guide then slowly turn the Tilt Adjustment Screw(C) in the clockwise direction.

(2)If folding or curling is observed at the top of it then slowly turn the Tilt Adjustment Screw(C) in the counterclockwise direction.

NOTE:

Check the RF envelope after adjusting the A/C Head, if the RF waveform differs from Fig. C-5-4, performs Precise Adjustment to flat the RF waveform.

5-3. Precise Adjustment (Azimuth adjustment)

Adjustment Procedure

1)Connect the probe of the oscilloscope to Audio Output Jack.

2)Alternately adjust the Azimuth Adjustment Screw(A) and the Tilt Adjustment Screw(C) for maximum output of the 1KHz and 7KHz segments, while maintaining the flattest envelope differential between the two frequencies.

MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE

2. Required Maintenance

The recording density of a VCR(VCP) is much higher than that of an audio tape recorder. VCR(VCP) components must be very precise, at tolerances of 1/1000mm, to ensure com- patibility with the other VCRs. If any of these components are worn or dirty, the symptoms will be the same as if the part is defective. To ensure a good picture, periodic inspection and maintenance, including replacement of worn out parts and lubrication, is necessary.

3. Scheduled Maintenance

Schedules for maintenance and inspection are not fixed because they vary greatly according to the way in which the customer uses the VCR(VCP), and the environment in which the VCR(VCP) is used.

But, in general home use, a good picture will be maintained if inspection and maintenance is made every 1,000 hours. The table below shows the relation between time used and inspection period.

Table 1

Two hours

Three hours

4.Supplies Required for Inspection and Maintence

(1)Grease : Kanto G-311G (Blue) or equivalent

(2)Isopropyl Alcohol or equivalent

(3)Cleaning Patches

(4)Grease : Kanto G-381(Yellow)

5. Maintenance Procedure

5-1) Cleaning

(1)Cleaning video head

First use a cleaning tape. If the dirt on the head is too stubborn to remove by tape, use the cleaning patch. Coat the cleaning patch with Isopropyl Alcohol. Touch the cleaning patch to the head tip and gently turn the head(rotating cylinder) right and left.

(Do not move the cleaning patch vertically. Make sure that only the buckskin on the cleaning patch comes into contact with the head. Otherwise, the head may be dam- aged.)

Thoroughly dry the head. Then run the test tape. If lso- propyl Alcohol remains on the video head, the tape may be damaged when it comes into contact with the head surface.

(2)Clean the tape transport system and drive system, etc, by wiping with a cleaning patch wetted with Isopropyl Alcohol.

NOTES:

1It is the tape transport system which comes into contact with the running tape. The drive system consists of those parts which moves the tape.

2Make sure that during cleaning you do not touch the tape transport system with excessive force that would cause deformation or damage to the system.
