Before performing the adjustments, check the data of page: 0,
address: 10 is “00”. If not, set data: 00 to this address.

1)

The adjustments of this unit are performed in the VTR mode
or camera mode.
To set to the VTR mode, set the power switch to “VCR or
PLAYER” or set the “Forced VTR Power ON mode” using the
adjustment remote commander (Note2).
To set to the Camera mode, set the power switch to “CAMERA”
or set the “Forced Camera Power ON mode” using the
adjustment remote commander (Note3).
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced VTR
Power ON Mode” or “Forced Camera Power ON Mode”.
(Note4)

2)

The front panel block (SI-032 board (Microphone amp, remote
commander receiver), FP-411 flexible (MIC jack, Head phone
jack, LANC jack, MF photo sensor)) must be assembled for
connecting the adjustment remote commander.
To remove it, disconnect the following connector.

VC-276 board CN1103 (30P 0.5mm)

3)

As removing the cabinet (R) assembly (removing CN1110 of
the VC-276 board) means removing the lithium 3V power
supply (BT001 on the CF-2500 block), data such as date, time,
user-set menus will be lost. After completing adjustments, reset
these data. If the cabinet (R) assembly has been removed, the
self-diagnosis data, data on history of use (total drum rotation
time etc.) will be lost. Before removing, note down the self-
diagnosis data (data of page: 2, address: B0 to C6) and the data
on history use (data of page: 2, address: A5 to AA). (Refer to
“5-4.Service Mode”.)

4)

The cabinet (R) assembly (CF-2500 block, LCD bock) need
not be connected to operate the VTR block. (Use the adjustment
remote commander, to operate the VTR block.) When removing
the cabinet (R) assembly, disconnect the following connector.

1. VC-276 board CN1110 (22P, 0.5mm)
2. VC-276 board CN1106 (20P, 0.8mm)

5)

The viewfinder block is need not be connected. To remove it,
disconnect the following connector.

VC-276 board CN7001 (20P, 0.5mm)

6)

The lens block (CD-357 board) need not be connected. To
remove, disconnect the following connectors.

1. VC-276 board CN1501 (16P, 0.5mm)
2. VC-276 board CN1551 (24P, 0.5mm)

7)

By setting the “Forced VTR Power ON mode” or “Forced
Camera Power ON mode”, the video section can be operate
even if the cabinet (L) assembly (SS-1380 block) has been
removed. When removing the cabinet (L) assembly, disconnect
the following connector.

1. VC-276 board CN1109 (12P 0.8mm)

Setting the “Forced VTR Power ON” mode (VTR mode)
1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: D, address: 10, set data: 02, and press the PAUSE

button.

The above procedure will enable the VTR power to be turned on
with the cabinet (L) assembly (SS-1380 block) removed.
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced VTR
Power ON mode”.

Setting the “Forced Camera Power ON” mode (Camera mode)
1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: D, address: 10, set data: 01, and press the PAUSE

button.

The above procedure will enable the camera power to be turned
on with the cabinet (L) assembly (SS-1380 block) removed.
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced Camera

Some of the adjusting points of the video section are concentrated
at VC-276 board CN1108. Connect the measuring instruments via
the CPC-13 jig (J-6082-443-A). The following table lists the pin
numbers and signal names of CN1108.

Table 5-3-1.

Connect the measuring instruments as shown in Fig. 5-3-2 and
perform the adjustments.
