• Be sure to disconnect the power supply unit prior to mounting YTU94088 YTU94088-003 P-895
and soldering of parts.
• Prior to removing a component part that needs to disconnect
its connector(s) and its screw(s), first disconnect the wire(s)
from the connector(s), and then remove the screw(s).
• When connecting/disconnecting wires, pay enough attention
not to damage the connectors.

• Be careful in removing the parts to which some spacer or
shield is attached for reinforcement or insulation.
• When replacing chip parts (especially IC parts), first remove
the solder completely to prevent peeling of the pattern.
• Tighten screws properly during the procedures. Unless
otherwise specified, tighten screws at a torque of 0.078N·m Fig.3-1-2
(0.8kgf·cm). However, as this is a required value at the time of
production, use the value as a measuring stick when • Torque driver

Camera system and deck system of this model are specially
adjusted by using PC.
However, if parts such as the following are replaced, an
adjustment is required. The adjustment must be performed in a
Service Center equipped with the concerned facilities.
• EEP ROM (IC1005 of MAIN board)
• OP BLOCK ASSEMBLY Chip IC Replacement Jig Cleaning Cloth Guide Driver
PTS40844-2 KSMM-01 YTU94148A-1
• MONITOR ASSEMBLY

In the event of malfunction with electrical circuits, first find a

defective portion with the aid of proper test instruments as shown
in the following electrical adjustment procedure, and then
commence necessary repair/ replacement/adjustment.
• In observing chip TP, use IC clips, etc. to avoid any stress. INF Adjustment Lens INF Adjustment Lens Holder Mini Stand

Prior to replacement of chip parts (especially IC), remove the
solder completely to prevent peeling of the pattern.
• Use a patch cord if necessary. As for a patch cord, see the
BOARD INTERCONNECTIONS.
• Since connectors are fragile, carefully handle them in
disconnecting and connecting the FPC.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

NOTE:
㧝)㧖and㧖㧖 (This mark shows where to attach the screws) : Do not reuse the screws because the screw lock bond was applied to prevent the screws from loosening.
Prepare the specified screws and use them in place of the removed screws.
㧞)Tightening torque for the screws
࡮There are setting limits of the torque value for the torque driver. If the value exceeds the setting value, take it as a rough measurement (reference value),
and tighten the screw manually.
࡮The specified torque value is a recommended value of the initial assembly. Therefore, set the value below the specified torque value in the assembling procedure.
Be careful not to break either the screws or the screw holes.

5.2 TAKING OUT CASSETTE TAPE
If the tape cannot be taken out due to electrical failure, take out
the tape in the following procedure. SCREW(1)
Please note that following is a simplified method.
Removing the cabinet parts before taking out the tape is rec-
ommended for easy tape removal considering the workabili-
ty and reliability.

(1) Remove the Power Unit (battery or DC cord) from the set.
(2) Remove the screw (1).
Refer to Fig.5-2-1
(3) Open the CASSETTE COVER, and then remove the screw

In this model, voltage can easily be applied to the elec-
trode on the top of the LOADING MOTOR by removing
the LOWER CASE ASSY.
However, as the hooks and tabs are fitted on the side
facing the FRONT COVER ASSY, be careful in handling
the parts and avoid damaging the parts.
(5) Open the CASSETTE COVER until it is held open.
Refer to Fig.5-2-5 Fig.5-2-2
(6) Attach the PVC TAPE to the CASSETTE HOUSING ASSY.
Refer to Fig.5-2-5
NOTE
Be careful not to damage the cassette tape left in the
tape transport system as the cassette folder moves up-
ward in the EJECT mode (unloading end)
(7) Apply DC 3V to the terminal (electrode) on the top of the LOADING MOTOR
