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 “PLAYER”
or set the “Forced VTR Power ON mode” using the adjust-
ment remote commander (Note 1).
To set to the Camera mode, set the power switch to “CAM-
ERA” or set 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
4).

2) As removing the cabinet (R) assembly (removing CN1007 of

the VC-305 board) means removing the lithium 3 V power
supply (CF-3000 block BT001), 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-diagno-
sis data (data of page: 7, address: B0 to C6) and the data on
history use (data of page: 7, address: A7 to A9 and C8 to CF).
(Refer to “6-4.Service Mode”.)

3) The cabinet (R) assembly (CF-3000 block, FK-3000 block,

PD-181 board, LCD block) need not be connected to operate
the VTR block. (Note 5) When removing the cabinet (R) as-
sembly, disconnect the following connectors.

1. VC-305 board CN1007 (18P, 0.5 mm)
2. VC-305 board CN1003 (20P, 0.8 mm)

4) The lens block (CD-418 board) need not be connected. To re-

move, disconnect the following connectors.

1. VC-305 board CN1501 (14P, 0.5 mm)
2. VC-305 board CN1551 (24P, 0.5 mm)

5) The EVF block need not be connected. To remove, disconnect

the following connectors.

VC-305 board CN1005 (20P, 0.5 mm)

6) The memory stick slot need not be connected. To remove, dis-

connect the following connector.

VC-305 board CN1013 (10P, 0.5 mm)

7) By setting the “Forced VTR Power ON mode” or “Forced Cam-

era Power ON mode”, the video section can be operate even if
the control switch block (SS-3000) has been removed. When
removing the control switch block (SS-3000), disconnect the
following connector.

VC-305 board CN1009 (12P, 0.8 mm)

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 control switch block (SS-3000) re-
moved.
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 control switch block (SS-3000) re-
moved.
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced
Camera Power ON mode”.

Setting the “Forced Memory Power ON” mode (Memory
mode)
1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: D, address: 10, set data: 05, and press

the PAUSE button.

The above procedure will enable the camera power to be
turned on with the control switch block (SS-3000) re-
moved.
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced
Memory Power ON mode”.

Exiting the “Forced Power ON” mode
1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: D, address: 10, set data: 00, and press

the PAUSE button.

3) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.

When the FK-3000 block or the CF-3000 block is re-
moved, the VTR does an unusual movement for one
minute after the power is turned on. So, operate the VTR
by the adjustment remote commander (with the HOLD
switch set in the OFF position) after it passes for more
than one minute.
