How to Enter the Service Mode
About Optical Sensors
Caution:
An optical sensor system is used for the Tape Start and
End Sensors on this equipment. Carefully read and
follow the instructions below. Otherwise the unit may
operate erratically.
What to do for preparation
Insert a tape into the Deck Mechanism Assembly and
press the PLAY button. The tape will be loaded into the
Deck Mechanism Assembly. Make sure the power is
on, connect TP502 (SENSOR INHIBITION) to GND.
This will stop the function of Tape Start Sensor, Tape
End Sensor and Reel Sensors. (If these TPs are con-
nected before plugging in the unit, the function of the
sensors will stay valid.) See Fig. 1.
Note: Because the Tape End Sensors are inactive, do
not run a tape all the way to the start or the end of the
tape to avoid tape damage.
