Insert the CP- 1 board in the slit of chassis as shown in
Fig. 2-1-3.
Connect CNO1 and CN02 of Relay jig (VHJ-0084) into
connectors of the PW-1 board and the Pre-amp unit, in the
direction of arrow as shown in Fig. 2-1-3. Fix the Relay jig
(VHJ-0084) with screw if necessary.
Connect 12-pin, 8-pin and 4-pin connectors of the Relay
jig to connectors CN541, CN101 and CN201 on the CP-1

2. Connect Relay jig (VHJ-00B4) excepting 8-pin connector
between the PW- 1 board and CP-1 board as shown in
Fig. 2-1-4. Fix the Relay jig (VHJ-0084) with screw if
necessary.
3. Connect Relay jig (VHJ-0085) between the top of Pre-
amp unit and CN101 on the CP-1 board.
NOTE: When repairing or adjusting the Pre-amp unit, be
sure to make contact an end of the Shield case
with Bracket of the Pre-amp unit to maintain the
shield effect. If the Pre-amp unit does not contact,
image can be obtained.
CAUTION: Be sure that the Relay jig does not have touch
with video head or the upper cylinder assem-
bly.

Because the RF input signal is used for circuit adjustments,
connect the colour-bar generator to the ANT IN terminal of
the VCR. The RF input signal is processed by the tuner and
IFcircuit. It is improtant that the video output signal of the IF
circuit satisfies the items shown in Fig. 2-1-5. Connect the
oscilloscope to the VIDEO OUTPUT terminal of the video
circuit and terminate with a 75Q load, and then check the
video output signal.
.
.
.
The amplitude of the sync signal should be approxi-
mately 0.3 Vp-p.
The amplitude of the video signal should be approxi-
mately 0.7 Vp-p.
While observing the oscilloscope or TV screen, make
fine-tuning adjustments so that the colour burst
amplitude is approximately 0.3 Vp-p.
!--
Check to be sure that there is no spike noise in the sync
part of the horizontal sync signal.

o These adjustments should be carried out upon completion of the tape transport adjustments.
o If the tape transport adjustments (except the tilt adjustment) are carried out after these adjustments, follow the procedures
again in Item 1 SWITCHING POSITION ADJ.
“ When a cassette tape is loaded, auto-tracking will be set immediately after starting the first playback. As this will deviate the
tracking center set, be sure to press tracking buttons (+)or (-) once directly after starting playback to prevent auto-tracking from
being set. Press the tracking buttons (+) and (-) simultaneously, the tracking control to the center position.

3-1. REMOVAL OF REMOTE CONTROL UNIT CASE
Open the remote control unit case as follows. Although a
large type remote control unit is shown in the figure bellow,
small type remote control unit can be openad by the same
procedures.
NOTE: When opening the remote control unit for repairing,
use a GUITER PICK made of plastic (1mm thickness) shown
in the Fig. 3-1-2 or the like (a thin plastic piece) to prevent
scratching.
Never use a metal screwdriverto avoid scratching.
1. Open the battery cover and take out batteries, the then
remove the bottom case fixing screw.
2. Applying force strongly to the battery compartment edge
in the arrow (A) direction by your thumb as shown in Fig.
3-1-1 to make a space (B) between the bottom and upper
case as shown in the cross section Fig. 3-1-3.

3. Insert the GUITER PICK above mentioned into the space
(B) as shown in Figs. 3-1-3,3-1-4 and move the PICK in
the arrow (D) and (E)direction, then disconnect two hooks
(F) of the top of the cases.
4. Applying force to the space (B) and battery compartment
edge by your thumb so that the bottom case is separated
from the upper case as shown in the Fig. 3-1-5.
5. Insert the PICK into the space(G) of the case side slanting-
ly against the bottom case and move the PICK to
disconnect the hooks (H) of the side in order from top to
bottom Fig. 3-1-5.
6. Disconnect the hooks of the other side using the pick by
the same procedure as step 4.
