In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Use the AC power adaptor.

Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.

1

Remove the cabinet (upper) assembly (E).

2

Remove the cabinet (R) assembly.

3

Remove the VC heat sink, VC radiation sheet.

4

Remove the lens section, F panel section.

5

Push the portion A in the direction of the arrow and open the disc cover.

The laser diode may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the
potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc.
on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

Laser light of the equipment is focused by the object lens in the
optical pick-up so that the light focuses on the reflection surface of
the disc. Therefore, be sure to keep your eyes more then 30 cm
apart from the object lens when you check the emission of laser
diode.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder, or LCD
screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit number,
which blinks at 3.2Hz. This 5-character display indicates the
“repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed
code” of the problem.

The self-diagnosis display data will be kept even if the lithium battery (BT7301 of CK-148) is removed.

Non-standard battery is used.

Faulty disc is used.

Disc access error

Condensation.

Codec IC dose not return are reply

EEPROM data are rewritten.

Drive fault

Codec IC fault

Audio Codec IC fault

Difficult to adjust focus
(Cannot initialize focus.)

Zoom operations fault
(Cannot initialize zoom lens.)

The abnormalities in initialization of the
focus lens and the abnormalities in
initialization of the zoom lens occurred
simultaneously.

Handshake correction function does not
work well. (With PITCH angular velocity
sensor output stopped.)

Handshake correction function does not
work well. (With YAW angular velocity
sensor output stopped.)

Fault of writing to or erasing the flash
memory

Fault of writing to or erasing EEPROM

Use the InfoLITHIUM battery.

Use a compatible disc with the camcorder.

Clean the disc with the supplied cleaning cloth
Use a compatible disc with the camcoder

Remove the disc, and insert it again after one hour.

Remove the power source. Reconnect it again and operate your
camcorder again

Make EEPROM data correct value.  (Note)

Inspect or replacement of the mechanism deck, IC (IC4501 of MD-
114 board or IC4502 of MD-120 board) and drive block

Inspect or replacement of the codec IC (IC2101 of VC-396 board)
peripheral circuits

Inspect or replacement of the Audio Codec IC (IC2901 of VC-396
board) peripheral circuits

Inspect the lens block focus MR sensor (Pin 2, 4 of CN1601 of
VC-396 board) when focusing is performed when the focus buttons
of the touch panel are pressed in the focus manual mode, and the
focus motor drive circuit (IC1603 of VC-396 board) when the
focusing is not performed.

Inspect the lens block zoom MR sensor (Pin wf, wj of CN1601 of
VC-396 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom lever
is operated, and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC1603 of VC-396
board) when zooming is not performed.

Check whether the flexible board of the lens is broken, and check
whether it is inserted imperfectly. If there is no problem in the
flexible board, inspect the focus/zoom motor drive circuit (IC1603
of VC-396 board).

Inspect PITCH angular velocity sensors (SE7104 of CD-564 board)
peripheral circuits.

Inspect YAW angular velocity sensors (SE7103 of CD-564 board)
peripheral circuits.

Inspect the flash memory (VC-396 board IC2401) (Note)

Inspect the EEPROM (VC-396 board IC2002)

The MD board can be identified by printed part number or mounted parts on the MD-114/120 board.

Service repair part of MD-114/120 board is only MD-114 COMPLETE BOARD (SERVICE) (A-1110-081-A). However, the data setting of
each MD-114/120 board is different, and when replacing the MD-114/120 board or VC-396 board, confirm the data setting (MD Board Type
Data) is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.

Writing Method:
1) Select page: 0, address: 01 and set data: 01.
2) Select page: 0, address: 10 and set data: 01.
3) Input the “MD Board Type Data” to page: 1C, address: 72 and 73.

 Press the PAUSE (Write) button of the adjustment remote commander each time to set the data.

4) Select page: 0, address: 10, and set data: 00.
5) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.
