Service Position
HOW TO INITIALIZE THE E2PROM
A replacement E2PROM is not initialized before
shipping, so the E2PROM must be initialized
when replaced.
Initialize the E2PROM by following the steps
below.
1. Set the VCR to `CLOCK SET' mode.
2. Push COUNTER RESET button on the remote
hand unit for 8 seconds.
3. E2PROM initial setting is completed.

PINCH ARM ASSY, A/C HEAD UNIT and FE
HEAD.) can be replaced.
· Checks at test points may be made to isolate a
problem to a specific circuit.
1. Remove the Top Cover and Front Panel.
(Refer to Para. 1 and 2 of the DISASSEM-
BLY.)

· Parts on the deck can be replaced.
· Service can be executed with the EE picture
displayed.
1. Remove the DECK ASSY. (Refer to Para. 4 of
the DISASSEMBLY.)
2. Connect TP5X and TP5Y via diode (1SS252).
TP5X Anode side TP5Y: Cathode side Note:
Make this connection before turning the
power on.

Service Item
· Operation can be checked in every mode.
· Parts on the copper side of the PCB-MAIN
can be checked and replaced.
1. Remove the DECK ASSY, INSERT GUIDE
and PCB-MAIN. (Refer to Para. 4 and 5 of the
DISASSEMBLY and Para. 1 of the HOW TO
EXECUTE CIRCUIT BOARD SERVICE.)
2. Install the three screws (a), (b) and (c) to
secure the PCB-MAIN and DECK ASSY.
Note: Check the connection of the MC
connector.
3. Rotate the PCB-MAIN and DECK ASSY
upward holding them in position.
4. Connect all connectors on PCB-MAIN.
5. Stand the DECK ASSY and the PCB-MAIN on
the Base chassis so that the hole on the STAY
PLATE (Take up side) of the DECK ASSY
aligns with the boss of the Base chassis.
6. Fix the PCB-MAIN on the Base chassis,
providing a cushion between them for secure
installation.
Deck Operation Check
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
Operation of the deck position and tape running
systems can be checked according to the
following method.
1. Unscrew all screws fastening the DECK
ASSY and Shield Case.
2. Place the DECK ASSY on the Base Chassis
so that the centre of the rear side aligns with
the boss and that the rear side of the supply
side aligns with the screw hole as shown in
Fig. 1. Raise the front side of the DECK ASSY
and hold it with a support.
Note: The MODE DETECT SENSOR, START
SENSOR, END SENSOR, REEL SENSOR
and RECORD PROTECTION SENSOR
cannot operate in this state. Parts on the
DECK (LOADING BELT and REEL BELT) can
be replaced.
3. Connect TP5Y and TP5T via diode (1SS252).
TP5T: Anode side
TP5Y: Cathode side
Note: Connect them before plugging in the
set.
4. Turn the power on.
5. Insert the video cassette tape.
Note: This check may damage the cassette
tape. Use a dummy cassette tape with a door
or other tapes for check purpose only.
6. Press the CH-UP and CH-DOWN buttons on
the PCB-MAIN to check the deck position.
CH-UP button : Operation in the loading
direction. CH-DOWN button: Operation in the
unloading direction.
7. Connect the MC connector and the CAPSTAN
MOTOR on the PCB-MAIN with the Extension
cable (859C433080). Press the FF and REW
buttons on the PCB-MAIN to check the
operation of the tape running system.
Note: Take care so that the two connectors of
the Extension cable are attached in the same
direction, without twisting the cable.
FF button: Forward rotation is implemented
REW button: Reverse rotation is implemented
Example: Playback, REW/FF
1) Press the CH-UP or CH-DOWN button to
align the character "PR" or "FR" of the CAM
GEAR (TU) with the positioning hole of the
WORM PULLEY UNIT shown in Fig. 4.
"PR": Playback position
"FR": REW/FF position
2) For fast forward operation check, press the
FF button to make the CAPSTAN MOTOR
rotate in the forward direction. For rewind
operation check, press the REW button to
make the CAPSTAN MOTOR rotate in the
reverse direction.
Electrical Adjustments
Perform only the alignments required. If proper
equipment is not availabledo not attempt an
alignment.
PRE-ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS
· Set the "COLOUR SYSTEM" to "PAL" mode in
the MENU. (HS-640V(E), (G)/HS-640(Y) only)
· Set the "TAPE OPTIMIZER" to "OFF" mode in
the MENU.
· Set the "BAND-OPTIMIERUNG" to "OFF"
mode in the MENU. (HS-640V(G) only)
· Set the "RENTAL PB" to "OFF" position.
MEASURING EQUIPMENT
· Oscilloscope (10:1 probe unless 1:1 speci-
fied.)
· Frequency counter
· Electrical tools
LOCATIONS
[Servo circuit]
1 Playback Switching Point
Adjustment purpose
Video switch over timing during playback.
Symptom when incorrectly adjusted
Switching noise or jitter in the playback picture.
1. Playback an alignment tape (PS2, stair step).
2. Short-circuit TP5A to TP5B. Confirm that the
"D" displayed in Fluorescent Display flashes
fast.
3. Observe the waveform at TP2J.
4. Set the oscilloscope's slope to (--).
5. Adjust VR4A0 so that the trigger point is
located at 6.5
±1.0H before the vertical
synchronizing signal.
[Timer circuit]
2. Clock Frequency Correction
Adjustment purpose
To set the accuracy of clock.
Symptom when incorrectly adjusted
Poor clock accuracy.
1. Set the VCR to POWER off. (With the tape
ejected from VCR.)
2. Short-circuit TP5A to TP5B.
3. Observe the frequency at TP5F.
4. Be certain that the frequency is between
262.1000 262.1882kHz.
5. Use the number buttons on the remote hand
unit to enter the last three digits of the
frequency counter reading
(262.1(a)(b)(c)kHz). (Confirm that the "." is
not displayed in fluorescent display.) Enter
the digits in (a)(b)(c) sequence.
6. Push the REC button on the remote hand
unit. (Confirm that the "." is displayed in
fluorescent display.)
7. Open-circuit TP5A to TP5B.
Mechanical Adjustments
and Replacements
1.Cleaning the DECK
The following parts require cleaning whenever
serviced to maintain satisfactory performance.
1-1 VIDEO HEAD
1. Clean the VIDEO HEADs by the following
method. Dust and other foreign objects on the
VIDEO HEADs disturb the normal playback
picture. Dampen a VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
CLOTH with alcohol. Hold the cloth against
the DRUM and slowly turn the DRUM
counterclockwise to clean.
Note: Do not directly touch the HEAD
attached to the UPPER DRUM ASSY. The
HEAD is very hard but brittle to impact,
especially in the vertical direction. Do not
apply force in the vertical direction.
