2.4. SERVICE CAUTION-2 2.4.1. CAUTION FOR AUTO TUNING PROCEDURE Auto Tuning will start by the following procedure. 1. Connect the DIN-RF Cable. 2. Connect the AC Mains Lead. 3. Turn on the VCR. Auto Tuning will start. Auto Tuning search for TV stations from VHS minimum to UHF maximum and memorizes every tuned program position.
Page 9
NOTE: 1. If the VCR is turned on with the antenna not connected, all channels are skipped. Therefore, firmly connect the antenna and then turn the VCR off and on again to execute Auto tuning. 2. When Auto Tuning is canceled halfway, Auto Tuning is not execute even if the VCR is turned off and then turned on again, In this case, Auto Tuning has to be restarted by the following procedures.

2.4.3. REMOVAL OF CASSETTE TAPE When the cassette tape could not be uninstalled from an electrical malfunction, There are 2 ways to remove a cassette tape. 1. Removal by compulsory unloading. A. Press FF and EJECT button simultaneously for more than 3 seconds and set the Service Mode to 7.
Page 11
C. Stop unloading just before unloading would be completed as shown in Fig. Fig. S3 D. Then the tape becomes slack as shown in Fig. Fig. S4 E. Rotate the S-Reel by a small minus screwdriver (Fig. S5) to remove the slack tape as shown in Fig.
Page 12
Fig. S5 Fig. S6 F. Then unload again to remove the cassette tape as shown in Fig. Fig. S7 3. Removal by manual operations after uninstalling the mechanism,refer to the DISASSEMBLY METHOD of item3.1. A. Disconnect the AC plug, and remove the Top Panel, Front Panel and the Mechanism by referring to the Disassembly Procedures.
Page 13
C. Rotate the Main Cam Gear counter-clockwise (Fig. S9) until just before the unloading would be completed as shown in Fig. D. Rotate the Capstan Motor clockwise (Fig. S9) to remove the slack tape as shown in Fig. Fig. S9 E.
Page 14
G. Install the Loading Motor and tighten screw (S1) as shown in Fig. 2.4.4. CYLINDER UNIT REPLACEMENT NOTE: Replacing only Upper Cylinder unit of R4 Mechanism cannot be performed, as securing of RT gap is impossible out of factory, please replace the cylinder by whole Cylinder Unit. The Compatibility Adjustment should be performed after replacement ofthe DD Cylinder Unit.
Page 15
NOTE: When reassembling, perform the steps in the reverse order, and perform the TAPE INTERCHANGEABILITY ADJUSTMENT certainly after CYLINDER UNIT REPLACEMENT. 2.4.5. ATTENTION FOR REPLACING THE CYLINDER UNIT CAUTION: Handle the Cylinder Flexble Card with care. When it damaged, you should replace it with a new Cylinder Unit.
Page 16
4. Hook the Flexible Card to the FPC HOLDER. Fig. S13 NOTE: 1. When removing the FPC HOLDER, push stopper portion of the FPC HOLDER with a small minus screw driver and so on. And then pay attention for not to scratch the Cylinder and not to break the Head Chip.
