Service Manual

1.7 EMERGENCY DISPLAY Whenever some abnormal signal is input to the syscon CPU, an error number (E01, as an example) is displayed on the LCD monitor or (in the electronic view finder). In every error status, such the message as shown below alternately appear over and over. � In an emergency mode, all operations except turning on/ off the POWER switch are ineffectual. Example (in case of the error number E01):

E01 UNIT IN SAFEGUARD MODE

E01 REMOVE AND REATTACH BATTERY

E01

Emergency mode
LOADING

Details
In the case the encoder position is not shifted to the next point though the loading motor has rotated in the loading direction for 4 seconds or more. This error is defined as [E01].

Possible cause
1. The mechanism is locked during mode shift. 2. The mechanism is locked at the mechanism loading end, because the encoder position is skipped during mechanism mode shift. 3. No power is supplied to the loading MDA. 1. The mechanism is locked during mode shift. 2. The mechanism is locked at the mechanism loading end, because the encoder position is skipped during mechanism mode shift. 1. The idler gear does not engage with the reel disk well. 2. Though the idler gear and reel disk are engaged with each other, the tape is not wound because of overload to the mechanism. 3. No FG pulse is output from the reel sensor. 4. No power is supplied to the reel sensor. 5. Tape transport operation takes place with a cassette having no tape inside. 6. The tape slackens and no pulse is produced until the slack is taken up and the tape comes into the normal status. 1. The drum cannot be started or drum rotation is stopped because tape transport load is too high. 1) Tape tension is extremely high. 2) The tape is damaged or soiled with grease, etc. 2. The DRUM FG signal is not received by the syscon CPU. 1) Disconnection in the middle of the signal line. 2) Failure of the DRUM FG pulse generator (hall element). 3. No drum control voltage is supplied to the MDA. 4. No power is supplied to the DRUM MDA. � 1. The CAPSTAN FG signal is not received by the syscon CPU. 1) Disconnection in the middle of the signal line. 2) Failure of the CAPSTAN FG pulse generator (MR element). 2. No capstan control voltage is supplied to the MDA. 3. No power is supplied to the CAPSTAN MDA. 4. The capstan cannot be started or capstan rotation is stopped because tape transport load is too high. 1) Tape tension is extremely high. (Mechanical locking) 2) The tape is damaged or soiled with grease, etc. (Tape tangling occurs, etc.)

E02

UNLOADING

In the case the encoder position is not shifted to the next point though the loading motor has rotated in the unloading direction for 4 seconds or more. This error is defined as [E02]. In the case no REEL FG is produced for 4 seconds or more in the capstan rotation mode after loading was complete, the mechanism mode is shifted to STOP with the pinch roller set off. This error is defined as [E03]. However, no REEL EMG is detected in the SLOW/STILL mode.

E03

TU & SUP REEL FG

E04

DRUM FG

In the case there is no DRUM FG input in the drum rotation mode for 4 seconds or more. This error is defined as [E04], and the mechanism mode is shifted to STOP with the pinch roller set off.

E05 E06

� CAPSTAN FG

� In the case no CAPSTAN FG is produced in the capstan rotation mode for 2 seconds or more. This error is defined as [E06], and the mechanism mode is shifted to STOP with the pinch roller set off. However, no CAPSTAN EMG is detected in the STILL/FF/REW mode.
