DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Top Case Removal 4. Mechanism Removal (see Fig. 3) 1) Remove 4 screws holding the top case. 1) Disconnect the drum FF cable from the connector (PMD01) on the Main C.B. 2. Panel Front Removal (see Fig. 1) 2) Disconnect the ACE head FF cable from the connector 1) Release 7 tabs, and then remove the panel front.
SERVICE POSITION To set the mechanism to the service position in active status: Insert a spacer as shown below: The service position can be set in the stable status without any defective contact. MAIN C.B MECHA SPACER 60mm MAIN C.B Use a spacer with a diameter of 10-15 mm, and of any shape (round, square, etc.).
VCR TEST TAPE INTERCHANGEABILITY TABLE There are two types of the new allgnment tape CH-1B (for NTSC) and CH-2 (for PAL). On each tape four signals (1)-(4) are recorded for the times and in the order shown below. (1) : 8min. → (2) : 2min. → (3) : 5min. → (4) : 5min. The TTV-MP1 (for M-PAL), TTV-MS1 (for MESECAM) and TTV-S1 (for SECAM) allgnment tapes have the same contents as the previous tapes.

MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1 Check before starting repairs The following faults can be remedied by cleaning and oiling. Check the needed lubrication and the conditions of cleanli- ness in the unit. Check with the customer to find out how often the unit is used, and then determine that the unit is ready for inspection and maintenance.
MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4. Supplies Required for Inspection and 2. Required Maintenance Maintence The recording density of a VCR(VCP) is much higher than that of an audio tape recorder. VCR(VCP) components must (1) Grease : Kanto G-311G (Blue) or equivalent be very precise, at tolerances of 1/1000mm, to ensure com- (2) Isopropyl Alcohol or equivalent patiblity with other VCRs.
