Precaution on Adjusting
1)
The adjustment of this unit are performed in the VTR mode or
camera mode.
To enter the VTR mode, set the power switch to “VTR” (or
“PLAYER”) or establish the “Forced VTR Power ON” mode
using the adjustment remote commander (Note 1).
To enter the Camera mode, set the power switch to “CAMERA”
or establish the “Forced Camera Power ON” mode using the
adjustment remote commander (Note 2).
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced VTR
Power ON” mode or “Forced Camera Power ON” mode. (Note
3)

3)
2)
As the power supply of this machine, use the AC adapter that
is unique to this machine. If the power is supplied from an
external regulated power supply (4.2 V dc) to the BATTERY
terminal of this machine, the power of this machine will be
turned off and the machine is no longer operable in about 10
seconds after the power is turned on. To use an external
regulated power supply, connect the adjustment remote
commander and set its HOLD switch to the ADJ (ON) position.

3)
As removing the MR-40 board CN2507 (2P, 1.0 mm), means
removing the lithium 3 V power supply, data such as date, time,
user-set menus will be lost. After completing adjustments, re-
set these data. If the MR-40 board CN2507 has been removed,
the self-diagnosis data, data on history of use (total drum
rotation hours, the initial date of power-on by user and the last
date of dew condensation) will be lost. Before removing the
MR-40 board CN2507, note down the self-diagnosis data and
the data on history use (data of page: 2, address: A2 through
AA). (Refer to “SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION” for the self-
diagnosis data, and to “5-4. Service Mode” for the data on the
history use.)
