(2) After removing an electrical assembly equipped

with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conduc-
tive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent elec-
trostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assem-
bly.
(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or

unsolder ESD devices.
(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices.

Some solder removal devices not classified as
anti-static can generate electrical charges suffi-
cient to damage ESD devices.
(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can

generate electrical charges sufficient to damage
ESD devices.
(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its

protective package until immediately before your
are ready to install it.(Most replacement ESD
devices are packaged with leads electrically short-
ed together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or

7-1-1 Basic Principles of RCC
RCC is commonly used at low wattage (under 35W) SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply) for reducing the
number of electronic parts in SMPS. The basic functions are as follows. With power plugged in, Vin is applied
and ignition current Ig. flows through Rg. From this, Quiescent point of S/W TR starts to flow and Vb is induced
to base coil. With sufficient base current (Ib) flows and by the induced Vd. So, S/W TR becomes drastically
saturated (swiched on mode). Ic of S/W TR swiftly moves to cut-off region. Fig. 7-1 describes coil voltage of S/W
TR ON/OFF mode. The direction of current in the primary and secondary coil is reversed. When S/W TR is on,
energy is reserved in primary coil. When S/W TR is off, the energy is supplied to output and then each coil. From
this voltage, Ib is supplied again to S/W TR to be saturated.

2) Description on Each Circuit Block
A. INPUT RECTIFYING CIRCUIT

AC 120V-60Hz is rectified by bridge diodes (D1SS01, D1SS02, D1SS03, D1SS04), and then leveled by smoothing
capacitor (C1SD11). To remove conduction noise line, filter (L1SS01) and X-capacitor (C1SS01) are used.

B. DRIVE CIRCUIT
When Vin is applied, ignition current Ig flows through R1SR02. Ic (value =Hfe x Ig) starts to flow in Q1SD11
and Vb is induced to base coil B.
By this Vb, Ib starts flowing and Q1SD11 becomes saturated (S/W on).
While Ib remains at constant value, Ic increases gradually by time. Base current will decrease and then Q1SD11
will become cut off (S/W OFF).

C. CONTROL CIRCUIT
If output current (Io) and (Vin) were constant, Vo could have the same value as the secondary coil ratio(N2/N1)
proportion. However, it actually varies. So, to stabilize Vo, scorpio chassis SMPS adopts direct negative
feedback control system using a photocoupler. The following are line voltage regulation and load regulations
on Io variations.

D. LINE VOLTAGE REGULATION

Assume load (Io) is constant to analyze control function on voltage variation.
Po = Io x Vo : Constant
Input power (Pi) is constant and Po is constant.
Pi = Vin x Ii : Constant
However, as Vin actually varies, Ii should vary as much as Vin varies to make the total input power (Pi)
constant. Ii is an average value of collector current (Ic) in Q1SD11 and only flows when S/W is on. So, the
variation of Ii can be controlled by the variation of Ic. The only way to change Ic is by changing the time (Ton)
to turn on S/W TR (Q1SD11).

Fig. 7-7 Waveform of Line Voltage Regulation
As Vin increases, Toff becomes constant and Ton gets decreased.
T1 = T2 = T
T Off 1 = T Off 2
T On 1 = T On 2 + T1
E. LOAD REGULATION
Assume that the line voltage (Vin) is constant to analyze the control function on the load (Io) variation. As Io
varies, Po varies accordingly.
Po = Io x Vo : Variable
As Po varies, input power (pi) should vary the same amount.
Pi = Vin x Ii : Variable
(Po = Pi x e, e : efficiency)
As Vo and Vin are constant, Ii will vary in proportion to Io variation. As mentioned above, Io is the average
value of IC only when S/W TR (Q1SD11) is off and this current (Is) is the average value of IC only when
S/W TR is on. This current (Is) is proportional to IC.
The variation of Is and Ic can only be controlled by variation of Toff and Ton of the SW TR.

Fig. 7-8 Waveform of Load Regulation

As Io increases, Toff and Ton increase also.
(Frequency gets low)
Ton2 = Ton1 + T1
Toff2 = Toff1 + T2
In actual control circuit, as shown in Fig.6, photocoupler (IC1SS1) controls base current of TR (Q1SR12), then,
Ton and Toff of S/W TR (Q1SD11) are controlled to perform both line regulator and load regulator functions.
The variations of line voltage (Vin) and load (Io) are found in variation of Vo.
R1SS34
Vs = R1SS33 + R1SS34
Reference voltage in IC1SS2 (shunt regulator, S431) varies. As Vo gets high, Vs increases and then cathode
voltage (Vc) of IC1SS2 is made low. Increased forward current (If) makes collector current (Ipc) flow to control
base current of TR (Q1SR12). Q1SR12 becomes saturated and Q1SD11 is cut off because base current in S/W TR
(Q1SD11) is divided to make collector current (IC1SS2) in Q1SR12.
When Vo becomes low, negative feedback can be performed to regulate Vo.

3) Output Rectifying Circuit
D1SS08 becomes forward biased only when S/W TR (Q1SD11) is off. In this case, Is flows through D1SS08.
DC voltage can be made by rectifying Vs through D1SS08 and is passed through the LPF of C1SS07 and L1SS03.

4) Snubber Circuit
During Transformer Operation, leakage inductance exists in addition to normal inductance of primary and
secondary coils. Assume that there is no leakage inductance (L1), when S/W TR (Q1SR02) is OFF.
n1
Vce = Vin + n2 Vo
In other words, Vce is the same as supplied Vin pulse induced by the voltage of Vo, but leakage inductance (L1)
exists.
n1 dis
Vce = Vin + n2 Vo + L1 dit
At this time, unless the voltage induced by L1 is suppressed, S/W TR (Q1SR02) will be destroyed because Vce
exceeds its specification.
To prevent this, Snubber circuit is constructed by using R1SS01, R1SS02, C1SR03 and D1SS05.
To supply reserved energy in transformer to output (Toff), the voltage induced by L1 is passed through D1SS05
and charged in C1SR03, then discharged through R1SS01, R1SS02. Finally, it is discharged as heat in R1SS01, R1SS02.

5) Protection Circuit in Open Loop
This chassis SMPS applies direct negative feedback control using a photocoupler. If this photocoupler can not
function due to defect of relevant circuit components, it becomes an open loop.
When this occurs, output voltage surges three times faster than normal and then causes critical defects in VCR
unit.
To prevent this, the protection circuit is implemented to maintain holdback by stopping switching in case of open
loop.
In open loop, VOI increases to over 50V and this over voltage is applied to ZD1SS1. This surge will cause the
zener to avalanche, thus shorting.
In this case, no voltage is applied to the Vb. No base current flows in S/W TR(Q1SD11) and then it enters the
hold-back mode. In this case, ZD401 can not function normally.

(1) Outline
The system control circuit inputs the commands given by the operator to set the mechanism and circuit to the
commanded mode. The circuit also inputs the detected output from the tape and mechanism protection sensor
and protects the VCR and tape against abnormal operation.
Fig. 7-14 is a simplified system control block diagram.
The system control is performed by 4 control sections. (System and timer control, Servo control, F/S Tuner, On
Screen Display).

(2) Mechanism/Circuit Control

When the u-COM inputs operators commands via the key input or remote input, the mechanism and circuits are
set to the command mode. This function controls mechanism/servo section and audio/video processing section.
1) Cassette Loading Control

Controls loading and ejection of a cassette and determines the mechanism operation mode; tape loading/
unloading, action/release of various breaks, tension, take up mechanism etc.
2) Tape Protection Sensor Monitoring

Detects abnormal operation in tape using the supply and take up end sensor, reel sensor and SW 30Hz pulse
for drum rotation.
3) Capstan Motor Control

Determines the tape speed and direction, fast forwards and rewinds the tape etc.
4) Tape Counter Control

Counts the control pulses on the control track, picked up by the control head and shows it on the digital
multidisplay.
5) Servo Control
Determines the operation mode of the servo circuit. Control the speed of drum and capstan motor, and then
Control the phase of drum and capstan motor.
6) Record Safety Tap Detection

Detects the safety tab on the rear of a cassette to prevent a prerecorded program from being erased.
7) Loading/Unloading control
Controls a series of loading/unloading operation after the u-COM judges the operation mode and sets the
mechanism to suitable mode. Fig. 7-16 show correlation between u-COM and peripheral components during
the loading/unloading operation.
The mechanism state switch (PROG. SW) detects the mechanism position. When the driving gear is turned by
the loading motor, the switch driving slider traces the groove, and this switch stops at the correct position
corresponding to each mode. In other words, the u-COM judges the present mechanism state from the PROG
SW after receiving the mode data, then it outputs the loading motor and capstan motor control signals.
This continues until the PROG SW reaches the correct state by the u-COM.

Index Detection Process

The detector block in IC601 detects the duty cycle of the control pulse input at Pin 85, 86. When detecting the
index mark, the Micom controls the next operation such as scan play.

(18) Trouble Detection

The trouble detection circuits are provided to protect the from damage (Fig. 7-19). The reel lock sensor detects
incorrect rotation of supply and take up reel. The reel lock sensor consists of the disk and photo sensor installed at
the bottom of the reel disk. the disk has 6 or 8 shielder parts and the photo sensor consists of the LED and photo
transistor assembly. When the light is shielded by the the shielder or enters the photo transistor, the output is
obtained from the photo sensor. IC601 measures the period of the pulse. When it is 4 seconds or more during
record/play, the VCR enters the reel emergency mode.
The VCR maintains the unload-power-on state in the reel emergency.

(20) Tape End Sensor

When end sensor detects the transparent section at the end of tape, the VCR enters auto rewind mode, except
during timer recording and OTR mode. The cassette LED emits light through the transparent section of tape to
the photo transistors, which are installed at both ends of the cassette. When start sensor detects the start section
of the tape during reverse search and rewind, the VCR automatically goes to stop mode.

(21) Tape Counter Control

Fig. 7-20 is a simplified diagram of the tape counter control circuit. The tape counter in the u-COM counts the
control pulses derived from control head. The control signal on the control track of the tape is picked up by the
control head and supplied to pins 74, 75 of IC601. The control pulse is amplified by the u-COM IC. The u-COM
determines the tape direction so the counter counts up when the CAP F/Rsignal is Hi and the counter counts
down when the CAP F/R signal is Low. By counting the control pulse, the counter data is supplied to the VF
display. Counter displays the time and it is increased or decreased by one minute after counting 1800 control puls-
es. Counter mode is switched to clock mode when the display button is pushed or when the VCR goes to power
off mode. When the reset button is pressed, the counter is reset to 00 : 00.
The tape counter has a memory stop function.

(24) Power Failure Detection

u-COM goes to the power failure mode when the 61 port is lower than 4/5 of AD Vcc level.
(25) 4HD Control

During trick play (still,slow,F-advance), it is necessary to control pre-amp,video circuit. the micom control pin 29
(C-ROTARY), pin 30 (HD-AMP) of the IC601 during PB period in Slow mode.
These port is applied to video IC to operate the trick play.

7-3 VCR Servo

(1) Outline
The servo system is divided into three loops. The cylinder servo controls the rotation of video heads, the capstan
servo controls the tape speed, and the tension. In addition its necessary to control cylinder motor, especially
during trick play in 4HD models. The tension servo maintains the tape tension constant: it keeps the compression
strength of tape against the video heads at the optimum level so that a stable RF signal is produced during
recording and playback. The tension servo operation is entirely mechanical. The cylinder servo loop controls the
phase and speed of the cylinder motor. The speed is kept at a constant 1800 RPM and the
phase determines the mechanical position relative to the vertical Sync signal. The capstan servo loop controls the
phase and speed of the capstan motor so that the video head can trace the video track correctly. It keeps tape
speed constant according to the mode (SP, SLP)during playback and recording.

(2) Capstain Speed Error Detector

The capstan speed control operates so as to hold the capstan at a constant rotational speed, by measuring the peri-
od of the CFG signal. A digital counter detects the speed deviation from a preset value. The speed error data is
added to phase error data in a digital filter. this filter controls a pulse-width modulate (PWM) output, which con-
trols the rotational speed and phase the captain.
When the error is zero, the PWM circuit outputs a waveform with a 50% duty cycle.
The CFG input signal from the capstan motor is a square wave the CFG input signal is compared by a comparator
and than sent to speed error detector as the CFG signal.
The speed error detector uses the system clock to measure the period of the CFG signal, and detects the deviation
from a preset data value. The preset data is the value that would result from measuring the CFG signal period
with the clock signal if the capstan motor were running at the correct speed.
The error detector operates by latching a counter value when it detects an edge of the CFG signal.
the latched counter provides 16 bits of speed error data for the digital filter to operate on.
The digital filter adds the speed error data to phase error data from the capstan phase control system,then sends
the result to the pulse-width modulator as capstan error data.
(3) Capstain Phase Error Detector

The capstan phase error detector consists of a 16-bit counter, a capstan phase preset data register pair, a latch sig-
nal circuit driven by a feedback signal, and a captain phase error data register pair.
The capstan phase control in rec mode is executed by comparing HD S/W, which is synchronized with V-sync,
with devided CFG signal. And than it does in playback mode by comparing HD S/W, which is synchronized with
DFG and DPG, with PB CTL signal.
The latch signal for the phase error data in record mode is the devied CFG signal, which is devided from the CFG
signal in the CFG frequency devider to a frequency of 30HZ.
In playback, the latch signal is the devied CFG signal obtained by frequency division from the rising edge of PB-
CTL signal (playback control pulse signal).
The error data is a signed binary value centered on a phase error of zero (corresponding to the correct rotational
phase). If the phase legs the correct phase ,the error is positive (+).
If the phase leads the correct phase, the error is negative (-).
(4) Drum Speed Error Detector

Drum speed control operates so as to hold the drum at a constant rotational speed, by measuring the period of
the DFG signal. A digital counter detects the speed deviation from a preset value. The speed error data is added
to phase error data in a digital filter. The filter controls a pulsewidth modulated (PWM) output,which controls the
rotational speed and phase of the drum.
The DFG input signal from the drum motor is a square wave. The DFG input signal is compared by a comparator
and than sent to the speed error detector as the DFG signal.
The speed error detector uses the system clock to measure the period of the DFG signal, and detects the deviation
from a preset data value. The preset data is the value that would result from measuring the DFG signal period
with the clock signal if the drum motor were running at the correct speed.
The error detector operates by latching a counter value when it detects an edge of the DFG signal. The latched
count provides 16 bits of speed error data for the digital to operate on.
The digital filter adds the speed error data to phase error data from the drum phase control system, then sends
the result to the pulse-width modulator as drum error data.

(5) Drum Phase Error Detector

Drum phase control must start operating after the drum motor is brought to the correct rotational speed by the
speed control system . Drum speed control works as follows in record and playback.
- Record : Phase is controlled so that the vertical blanking intervals of the recorded video
signal will line up along the edge of the tape.
- Playback : Phase is controlled so as to trace the recorded tracks accurately.
A digital counter detects the phase deviation from a preset value. The phase error data is added to speed error
data in a digital filter. this filter controls a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output, which controls the rotation
phase and speed of the drum.When the error is zero, the PWM circuit outputs a waveform with a 50% duty cycle.
The phase counter error detector compares the phase of the DPG pulse (tach pulse),which contains video head
phase information, with a reference signal. In the actual circuit , the comparison is carried out by comparing the
head-switching (HSW) signal,which is delayed by a counter that is reseted by DPG, with a reference signal. The
reference signal is the REF 30Hz signal,which differs between record and playback as follows.
- Record : V sync signal extracted from the video signal to be recorded (frame rate signal, actually 1/2V sync).
- Playback : 30Hz signal divided from the system clock.

Fig. 7-22 Luminance Record Process
1) Outline
Fig. 7-22 shows the video signal recording system. Line input signal or tuner input signal is selected by Micom.
Input selection is done with the INPUT SELECT button on the remote. The input select control signal is supplied
to the pin 53(clock),54(data),55(chip select) of video IC from Micom IC.
The selected video input signal goes to pin 28(TUNER),30(LINE 2),32(LINE 1) of Luma/Chroma processor IC
(IC301). And then it enters VIDEO AGC circuit. The gain of AGC circuit is controlled by AGC detector so that the
output is constant (approx. 2Vp-p). The output signal of AGC is clamped by the FBC(Feed Back Clamp) circuit.
This signal appears at pin 26, after being amplified at the internal video amp and driver.
The output signal from the clamp circuit enter the detail enhancer circuit. In the detail enhancer circuit, the low
level high frequency video signal is emphasized to improve the original signals frequency characteristics.
onlinear emphasis circuit is employed to improve S/N and frequency response characteristics together with the
following main emphasis. Noise effects the FM wave at a higher frequency, so the S/N can be improved by
emphasizing the higher frequency before recording and by suppressing the play signal during demodulation.
The difference of non linear emphasis from main emphasis is that the emphasis characteristics change is depend-
ing on the input level. The gain of the emphasis circuit is inversely proportional to the level of the high frequency
component of the signal. That is, if the high frequency portion of the signal is low the main emphasis circuit will
amplify the signal.

2) Main Emphasis Circuit

The dynamically emphasized luminance signal is now supplied to the main emphasis circuit where all the high
frequency components of the signal are boosted more than the low frequency components. The boosting action is
required for the high frequency components because in the FM recording method, the noise of the playback signal
increases in proportion to the modulated signal frequency or low level signal. By using the nonlinear emphasis
and main emphasis system, the total S/N ratio is increased. The output of the main emphasis circuit is then
supplied to the white and dark clip circuit.
3) White and Dark Clip Circuit

After emphasis is performed, large overshoots and undershoots in the luminance signal are limited to a specified
level. This is done to avoid FM over modulation. The output of the main emphasis circuit is then supplied to the
FM modulator circuit.
4) FM Modulator
A. The amplitude of the FM signal is limited, so the signal is recorded on tape near the maximum
record level which increases the S/N ratio.
B. The FM carrier is se to 3.4MHz (at the Sync tips) and the deviation to 4.4MHz by inside IC
circuit (for the white peak). The actual device which constitutes the FM modulator is a stable multivibrator.
This multivibrator generates a sine wave output of variable frequency.
The frequency of sine wave is governed by the level of the processed video signal at any given point. Therefore,
the processed video signal varies the frequency of the sine wave which is frequency modulation (FM). During
playback in SLP mode, the crosstalk of the adjacent track is more apparent than is standard mode. It appears as
jitter and noise on the monitor. To reduce this noise from the screen, the FM carrier frequency has to be 1/2fh
shifted up during recording. This is done by applying the head switching pulse to the FM modulator control
pin57 during SLP recording. The FM modulated luminance signal goes to record equalizer circuit and it is mixed
with chrominance signal at the record Amp circuit inside video IC.
5) Record Amp
The frequency modulated luminance signal and chroma signal are mixed in the record amp of pre-amp block
inside video IC. Then this mixed signal is amplified and supplied to the video heads via the rotary transformer
and recorded on the magnetic tape.
Tape speed selection determines which video heads will be used. That is, signal output from pin 66 (SLP) and 73
(SP) of pre-amp block are supplied to video heads.
Control signal of speed mode is applied to pin 53(clock), 54(data), 55(chip select) of video IC from Micom IC.

Fig. 7-23 Luminance Playback Process
1) Outline
The video signal recorded on the tape is picked up by CH1,CH2 head and is supplied to pre-amp block via rotary
trans. During playback, as per the speed, SP and SLP head is determined by Pin60 of respectively.
CH1 signal inputs to Pins 65 and 74 while CH2 signal inputs to Pins 67 and 72 of video IC. The pick up operation
is controlled by the head switching pulse inputted to pin 57. During the high portion of the switching pulse, CH2
is picked-up and just the opposite is true for CH1. In the pre amp IC, the FM signal is amplified 60dB and this
signal is applied to FM AGC.
2) FM AGC AMP
At the FM AGC Amp (FM), signals are automatically balanced. One of the AGC circuit outputs is fed to AGC
detector circuit which detects signal level fluctuations. The detector output signal is applied to the FM AGC Amp
to keep the output constant.This output is applied to the PB FM EQ block. FM EQ is correct the phase distortion
and level. The signal through PB EQ circuit is applied to the double limiter.
3) Double Limiter Circuit

A FM signal on the tape which contains AM components will be read during playback. If there is a severe AM
component, a drastic drop in FM carrier can occur. This lack of FM carrier can be called a noise region. Double
limiting is used for improving the S/N ratio and carrier loss. The playback FM signal is split into two paths, one
goes to high pass filler and sub-limiter. The other goes to the main-limiter after passing through a LPF. ONE path
of the FM signal goes to the high pass filter, so that the low frequency(AM) component can be removed, and the
other carrier is supplied to the sub-limiter. The output signal of sub-limiter is mixed with the signal from the
low-pass filter and sent to the FM demodulation circuit.

4) FM DEMODULATOR
The FM demodulator consists of a stable mono multivibrator balanced modulator (BM) and a LPF. The FM
demodulator circuit first converts the FM signal to a pulse width modulator signal. Then the circuit smoothes the
PWM signal to demodulate the video signal. This demodulated signal is fed to the LPF to remove its FM carrier
component and any other harmonics. The demodulated luminance signal outputs from Pin 21 and is applied to
the 3MHz LPF through main deemphasis circuit. To reduce demodulation noise, the output of the 3MHz LPF is
applied to a non-linear deemphasis circuit through YNR circuit.
5) Main De-emphasis Circuit

Before modulation, main emphasis was performed. Because the high frequency components of video signal were
boosted more than the low frequency components in the recording mode, main deemphasis must be performed to
obtain a normal video signal. That is this circuit returns the emphasized high frequency component to the original
value.
6) Non Linear De-Emphasis Circuit

This circuit is the counter part of the dynamic pre-emphasis circuit during recording. The characteristics are also
the opposite of those in recording.
7) Drop Out Compensator/YNR Circuit

This circuit compensated for missing parts of the FM signal due to dust, dirt on the tape or irregular tape coating,
etc. The clamped video signal is supplied to the CCD 1H circuit. The 1H delayed video signal from CCD block is
also supplied to the 6MHz LPF to reject the sampling noise of CCD IC.
Then, the output of LPF is applied to Pin 34 of video IC. When the DOC detector detects the FM loss, a 1H
delayed video signal is added in place of the missing signal.
8) Noise Canceller Circuit

The noise canceller circuit removes the high frequency noise contained in the video signal which has the reverse
characteristics of the detail enhance in the recording mode. The output of the noise canceller circuit is supplied to
the Luminance and Chrominance mixer circuit. The mixed chroma and luminance signal are then output at Pin
26.

Fig. 7-24 Chrominance Record Process
1) Outline
Fig. 7-24 shows the chroma signal recording system. The chroma signal recording process is performed by video
IC. The input video signal is fed to Pin 28 of IC and supplied to Y/C COMB circuit through AGC AMP.
The output signal of Y/C COMB circuit is applied to ACC amplifier. The ACC amplifier is used for both burst
ACC which keeps the burst level at a constant value in recording and the color ACC which controls the reference
level of the burst ACC with the color signal level. The color ACC works to maintain a relatively high output level
by boosting low level input signals to improve color S/N ratio. The signal is then applied to the burst emphasis
circuit. Burst emphasis emphasizes the burst signal by +6dB during recording and feeds it to the main converter.
The 3.58MHz signal are mixed in the main converter to perform frequency conversion.
The main converter is a mixer having the two types of output components which are the added frequency of
4.21+3.58=7.8MHz and the difference frequency component 629KHz.
Added frequency is rejected by the 1MHz LPF and the 629KHz down converted chroma signal is supplied to the
luma/chroma mixer of pre-amp block and then recorded on the tape via the record amp and heads.
AFC detection is performed with the head switching pulse and the fh signal generated from 321fh VOC output.
The detector output controls the VCO frequency which will be locked precisely at 320fh (5.035MHz).
he 320fh signal is counted down to 1/8 and the resultant 40fh (=629KHz)carrier signal is phase shifted triggered
by each horizontal sync signal which is wave shaped as a 50% duty pulse by the pulse generator.
The direction of the rotational phase shift depends on the levels of the rotary head switching signal from pin 57
and when the switching signal is "H" level, the phase is retarded by 90 degrees for every 1H, and when is is at a
"L" level it will advance by 90 for every 1H this 40fh phase shifted sub-carrier (PSSC) signal enters the sub-con-
verter and the 3.58MHz carrier signal is locked at the color burst frequency by the record APC.
The PSSC signal is frequency converted into 3.58MHz +/-629KHz. Then 4.21MHz component (=3.58MHz+/-
629KHz)is extracted through a 4.2MHz BPF.
The 4.21MHz signal is used as a carrier signal for down conversion of the color signal as described previously.

2) ACC (Automatic Color Gain Control) Circuit

The ACC is used as burst ACC in the LP mode, however it is also used for peak ACC in the SP/SLP mode.
The purpose of using two different ACC operations is to improve the overall Chroma S/N ratio during playback.
In SP and SLP, there is H-sync alignment. This indicates that there is bust alignment as well. Whenever two video
tracks overlap or a video head picks up crosstalk from an adjacent track, beats are produced during playback.
Perhaps the most noticeable beats are produced by H-sync and burst. But in SP and SLP, these beats occur right at
H-sync and burst and are out of the picture. In LP, however, there is no H-sync alignment and these beats can be
seen in the picture. To keep the beats at a minimum in LP, we keep the burst level constant so that the beat inten-
sity is constant. We know that ACC acts to improve the color S/N,and in LP, the ACC detector locks at the burst
level,and keeps it constant. Thus we have ACC operation with the least beats. In SP and SLP, the beats caused by
burst overlap are out of picture, so we don't really mind if the burst level changes or not. To improve the color
S/N ratio even more,we use peak ACC in SP and SLP.That is,if the chroma level is too low to record, the amplifi-
cation degree is increased by 3dB. However, the chroma level is sufficient for recording, this peak ACC is changed
to burst ACC to avoid over amplification. By changing the ACC according to picture color content, the burst level
may vary. The color ratio improvement is based on the color content itself during SP and SLP provides a some-
what better S/N ratio.
3) Four (4) Phase Rotation

CH1 is advanced 90 every channel, while CH2 is delayed 90. When the frequency is set to 629KHz, if phase is
shifted by +/-90 it becomes 629KHz +/-90. The 40fh+/-90 (=629KHz +/-90)is balanced modulated via fsc
(3.58MHz) depending on which side band is detected. That is, the fs +40fh+/-90 (4.2MHz +/-90) of total frequen-
cy is supplied to the main converter. In record mode, the signal operates same as in play back mode. During play-
back, the phase is returned to original state.
4) AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) Circuit

Luminance signal is input to H-sync separator. The H-sync is separated and supplied to phase comparator.
This signal can be described as fh (Horizontal Sync frequency of input video signal). However, VCO oscillates at
320fh (5.035MHz). This 321fh is counted down by 1/8 and 1/40 and resultant fh is supplied to phase comparator.
fh and fh are supplied to the phase comparator for comparison of their phases.
After comparison, the phase
differences is output to VCO (320fh) in terms of error voltage. Therefore, the oscillation frequency of VCO is
controlled by this error voltage. That is, if the fh phase is changed by H-sync signal fh, error voltage is changed
accordingly and if the phases of fh and fh are met due to change of VCO oscillation frequency, error voltage does
not feedback. 320fh VCO is oscillated in accordance with phase sync at fh. Therefore, 40fh input to sub converter
by phase shift is always sync horized with phase.
The AFC loop performs the same operation during record and playback. In recording, phase of VCO is in accor-
dance with H-sync signal of current video signal.
Which in playback, the phase sync of VCO is consistent with H-sync signal which is separated from the video
signal.

1) Outline
Fig. 7-25 shows the chroma signal playback system.
The FM signals picked up by the CH-1 and CH-2 video heads are supplied to the pre-amp block.
The FM signal from CH-1 and CH-2 are alternately selected by the switch and output signal as a continuous
signal. Goes to the ACC amp through the 1.3MHz LPF. The 1.3MHz LPF is used for passing only down converted
629KHz chroma signal in the playback mode. The ACC amp stabilizes the 629KHz color signal level.
The output color signal from amp then enters the main converter circuit. In the main converter circuit this signal
is mixed with the 4.21MHz phase shifted carrier signal and converted into 4.21MHz + 629KHz signals.
2) Main Converter
Inside of IC, the main converter converts the 629KHz rotational chroma signal to a 3.58MHz non-rotational signal.
The two inputs of this main converter are the 629KHz signal, which comes from the output of the ACC, and a
4.21MHz which has the same rotational phase as the 629KHz signal. It is important that the rotational phase of
the 4.21MHz signal is the same direction as the 629KHz playback chroma signal. To obtain the 3.58MHz non-rota-
tional stable signal, the same direction rotational signal should be mixed with the rotational chroma signal.
During the conversion process, the phase is also mixed by the frequency. Therefore, when 629KHz is subtraced
from 4.21MHz,the result is the non-rotational 3.58MHz stable signal. The output signal of the main converter goes
to the 3.58MHz BPF. In the 3.58MHz BPF,the conversion noise(4.21MHz+629KHz=4.8MHz) is rejected and the
3.58MHz color signal goes to the comb filter.
In the comb filter, the crosstalk components due to the adjacent track are eliminated and the color signal is
applied to PB-AMP, BURST De-Emphasis, Killer and are applied to LUMA and CHROMA mixer input through
the CNC block.

(2) Block Description
1) Input Selector
Input selector outputs 1 signal from 4 different signals received. It outputs 1 selected signal from tuner,rear,front.
2) Normal(Linear) Selector
Two signals,L-CH and R-CH are inputed to Hi-Fi IC.But,linear audio is capable of receiving only one signal.Therefore,the
2 input signals must be selected. Usually,the outputs are mixed signals of L-CH and R-CH unlike the input selector,the
normal selector does not amplify the selected signal.
3) Output Selector
It selects to output Hi-Fi L-CH,Hi-Fi R-CH,LINEAR and MIX(Hi-Fi+LINEAR) signals with the final output IC
pin 53 (R-CH) and pin 57 (L-CH).
4) Output ALC(Convertor)
ALC is used because when the input level of RF converter gets bigger,it shows up as noise on the screen. But,this block is
not used this model(ALC OFF)
5) PNR(Peak Noise Reduction)

It is a type of emphasis,de-emphasis function to eliminate noise during modulation /demodulation PNR operates as that of
VHS FORMAT to reduce noise.
6) Audio Limiter
Before modulating the signals from PNR block,it limits signals exceeding the size limit to max deviation of +/- 150KHz.
7) VCO(Voltage Control Oscillation)

It is a modulation functionthat oscillates 1.3MHz (L-CH) and 1.7MHz (R-CH).
8) RF LPF
It is a function to eliminate the harmonic components of Hi-Fi carrier formed during VCO,which may affect other block.
Its pass-band approximately 2MHz.
9) MIXER
It mixes the Hi-Fi carrier formed in L-CH and R-CH. However,due to the frequency difference between L-CH and
R-CH,when equal amount of R-CH is recorded to tape,R-CH is must smaiier than L-CH.
Therefore,the R-CH output is approximately 10dB bigger than L-CH.
10) Current Amp

It is the final amplifier of the mixed Hi-Fi carrier IC pin 37s resistance controls current, which change the size of IC
pin 21.
11) AGC(Auto Gain Control)

It maintains uniform size of Hi-Fi envelope,which is inputed by pre-amp in play back mode.
12) BPF(Band Pass Filter)

L-CH and R-CH each has BPF. The center frequency is same as carrier frequency.
It is used to receive only Hi-Fi carrier from all signals inputed to pre-amp.

13) SW Noise Compensation

Unlike the linear audio,insted of using fixed head,drum heads are used,which creates halting points However,in order for
the audio to be headed continuously,the damages from halting points are modulated,which creates noise. SW noise
compensation is a block to minimize this particular noise.
14) Hold Pulse

It makes standard signal(Pulse) to compensate SW noise.
15) DET(Hi-Fi/LINEAR)
From the Hi-Fi envelope inputed from pre-amp,it decides whether the signal passing through L-CH BPF is Hi-Fi or
LINEAR tape its size(the signal passing through BPF is below 10mVpp, it is not Hi-Fi,therefore,it output linear)
16) DOC(Drop Out Compensation)

If demodulation is conducted without properly treating the damage on Hi-Fi envelope caused by scratch on the tape,noise
occurs. In order to improve this noise occurrence,DO DET compensate the drop-out using the same methode of
compensating the switching noise when the damage on the envelope ranges 10~15mVpp.
17) ENV DET

To obtain optimal tracking,envelop must be peak to peak and micom should be in DC. It is a function to convert Hi-Fi
envelop to DC. If it is lower than 0.8V at micom,it sends linear mode date to HiFi IC.
18) Serial Data Decoder

It receives I2C BUS to enable the operation of inner block and decodes into serial data.

(2) Block Description
1) ATT (Attenuation)
Line amp is shared between PB mode and E/E mode, which reduces the recorded signal by 20dB and resister.
2) ALC (Auto Level Control)

If the signal level is lower than the reference signal (-6dBm) level, the output signal will equal the input signal.
However, if the input signal is higher than the reference signal, the output will not equal the input and will gen
erate uniform signal.
* ALC Application Purpose : Since linear audio is in AM (amplitude modulation) and uses magnetic recording
device, it only records limited size and as the size of input signal increases, distortion increases. To prevent
this occurance, mark sure the signal does not get bigger even if the level of distortion repodly increases.
3) LINE AMP
Line amps gain is approximately 23dB. The purpose of the line amp is to amplify to 68dB in order to obtain the
recorded signal on the tape during playback. As the amp gain increases, the passband decreases, which enables
the amplification of low frequency. However, it is impossible to amplify frequency of 10KHz to 68dB with just
1 OPAMP. Therefore, to satisfy frequency and gain.
Line amp must be constructed into 2 steps of OP AMP. (gain is fixed within IC)
4) 12KHz LPF
There are various noises to signal output. The loudest noise is the Video SYNC Frequency of 15.734KHz
In order to eliminate the Video SYNC Frequency, LPF and TRAP are combined to LPF.

5) PB AMP

INPUT follows.
OUTPUT

Av = 1 + ~
Z2 Z2
Z1 The playback characteristic of VHS format can be satisfied by using Z1, Z2 in

the above equation.
Z2 PB amp gain should be designed to be approximately 45dB (1KHz).

6) REC AMP
The diagram to the left is REC AMP. The amp gain is approximately 14dB.
PB AMP
INPUT R1 and R2 that determine the gain is located inside the IC.
OUTPUT
It is uniform and independent to frequency. Frequency characteristics should
be considered when designing rec amp. The REC amp should be the opposite
to playback characteristics.

7) OSC (Oscillation)
Oscillation frequency is 70KHz. Its size is approximately 45Vp-p. it operates on recoed mode. It is supplied to
audio erase head and full erase head used to erase already recorded signals.
Also, it conducts AM (Amplitude Modulation) using oscillation signals.
8) BIAS Control
Oscillation coil is used in oscillation Bias. Coil output changes according to the impedance of F/E, A/E and
R/P head connected to the coil.
9) 60KHz HPF
There must be standard signal for bias control and that signal uses HPF only to obtain oscillation signal that
comes through R/P head.
10) S/W
The switch opens when recording, shorts during playback and exterior transister is used.

RF and frequency synthesized tuning system
General description : The receiving circuit consists of both ANT input and output circuits, channel selection cir-
cuit, PIF circuit and SIF circuit. The receiving circuit selects a desired broadcast signal from TV signals induced on
an antenna and sends stable video and audio signals to their respective processing circuits. The output signals
from the video and audio circuits are converted into a conventional TV signal modulated for channel 3 or channel
4 by an RF modulator so that the signal can be received by conventional TV receivers.
(2) Tuner modulator block

As explained, this model is designed in one package to contain a RF MODULATOR BLOCK, TUNER BLOCK
AND IF DEMODULATOR BLOCK. Its size is greatly reduced and other noise interference can be minimized to
make performance high.

7-12 DVD Servo
(1) Outline
SERVO system of DVD is Compoced of Focusing SERVO, Tracking SERVO, SLED Linked SERVO and CLV
SERVO (DISC Motor Control SERVO).
1) Focusing SERVO : Focuses the optical spot output from object lens onto the disc surface. Maintains a uniform
distance between object lens of Pick-up and disc (for surface vibration of disc).
2) Tracking SERVO : Make the object lens follow the disc track in use of tracking error signal (created from Pick-up).
3) SLED Linked SERVO : When the tracking actuator inclines outwardly as the object lens follows the track during
play, the SLED motor moves slightly (and counteracts the incline).
4) CLV SERVO (DISC Motor Control SERVO) : Controls the disc motor to maintain a constant linear velocity
(necessary for RF signal).

(3) Operation
1) FOCUSING SERVO
(a) Focus Input
The focus loop is changed from open loop to closed loop, and the triangular waveform moves the object lens up
and down (at pin 13 of SIC1 during Focus SERVO ON.) At that time, S curve is input to pin 8 of SIC1.
ABCD (pin 34 of RIC1) signal, summing signal of PD A, B, C, D, is generated, and zero cross(1.65V) point occurs
when S curve is focused and ABCD signal exceeds a preset,constant value. The focus loop is changed to
closed loop, and the object lens follows the disc movement, maintaining a constant distance from the disc.
(these operations are same in CD and DVD).
Pin13 of SIC1 (FOD) Vref
Pin8 of RIC1 (ABCD) Vref
Pin39 of SIC1 (FEL) 1.5V
Fig. 7-44
(b) Play
When focus loop closes the loop during focus servo on, both pin 65 and pin 75 of SIC1 are controlled by VREF
voltage (approx. 1.65V), and pin 26, 27 of SIC3 are approximately 2.5V.
2) TRACKING SERVO
A. NORMAL PLAY MODE
For DVD
Composite : The signal output from PD A, B, C, D of Pick-up, the tracking error signal (pin31 of RIC1) uses the
phase difference of A+C and B+D in RIC1, and inputs to terminal 3 of SIC1. Then, it is output to SIC1 pin 14 via
digital equalizer, and applied to the tracking actuator through SIC3.
Pin 14 of SIC1 is controlled by VREF(approx. 1.65V) during normal play.
Meanwhile, DVD repeats the track jump from 1 to 4 in inner direction at normal play (because data- read speed
from disc is faster than data output speed on screen).
For CD, VCD

Receive the signal output through E, F of Pick-up, from RIC1. The tracking error signal is similar to DVD.

B. SEARCH Mode :
Search mode : Fine seek,(Moving the tracking actuator slightly little below 255 track) and coarse search, moving
much in use of sled motor. The coarse search will be described in sled linked servo and now, the fine seek is
explained shortly.
If the object lens is located near target, cut off the tracking loop and give the control signal as many as desired
count to move the tracking actuator via SIC1 pin 14 terminal(TRD).
3) SLED LINKED SERVO
Normal play mode

Move SLED motor slightly by means of PWM signal in SIC1 pin 26, as the tracking actuator moves along with
track during play. Control to move the entire Pick-up as the tracking actuator moves.
Coarse serach mode

In case of long-distance search (such as chapter serach), SIC1 uses MIRR and TZC signal of SIC1-37, 159.
Then, read ID and compute the existing track count after input of next track.
If the existing track count is within fine seek range, tracking begins using fine seek.
4) CLV SERVO(DISC MOTOR CONTROL SERVO)
Input RF signal (from Pick-up) to SIC1 pin 152.

Detect SYNC signal from RF in SIC1, and output PWM signal to SIC1 pin 28 for constant linear velocity.

7-13 DVD Data Processor
(1) Outline
SIC1(S5L1455) performs Sync detection, EFM demodulation and error correction and Spindle motor control (CLV
control) after inputting sliced EFM signal of RF signal at disc playback and EFM read clock (PLCK) signal generat-
ed from PLL. Outputs data which converted to the last audio and video from A/V decoder (ZIC1). SIC1 uses exter-
nal memory(4M DRAM) as buffer as well as for error correction and carries out Variable Bit Rate transfer function.
VBR function uses the external buffer as buffer to absorb the difference of transfer rate occurring because the trans-
fer rate of disc playback is faster than data transfer rate demanded by A/V decoder (Video/Audio Signal Process
Chip).
In case of general disc refresh, the memory is almost filled up periodically. It is because Write rate to memory after
disc playback and signal process is faster than Read of A/V decoder. When the memory is filled, this status is report-
ed by interrupt to main micom, which controls the servo to kick back the pick-up to the previous track after mem-
orizing the last data read from disc until now. It takes some times to jump to the previous track and return to the
original(jump location) again. The memory will have an empty space because A/V decoder reads out data of mem-
ory.
When the memory has an empty space, where data can be processed and written and the pick-up correctly gets to
the original location(before kick back location) again, it reads data again avoids the interrupt of data read previ-
ously. The basic operation repeats to perform as described above.

(2) NTSC/PAL Digital Encoder (VADDIS 5E ; Built in video encode)
ZIC1 inputted from pin 161 with 27MHz generates HSYNC and VSYNC which are based on video signal.
ZIC1 is synchronous signals with decoded video signal and control the output timing of 8bit video signal of ITU-
R601 format. The separate signal is encoded to NTSC/PAL by control of MIC1.
The above signals, which are CVBS (Composite Video Burst Synchronized)/G (GREEN)/Y [PIN139],
Y (S_VIDEO)/B (BRUE)/Pb[PIN145] and C (S_VIDEO)/R (RED)/Pr [PIN151], are selectively outputted CVBS
+S_VIDEO, RGB/Component by the rear switch. In Course of encoding, 8bit data can extend to 10bit or more.
To convert the extended data to quantization noise as possible, ZIC1 adopts 10bit D/A converter.
ZIC1 perform video en-coding as well as copy protection.
(3) Amplifier (VIC1: LA73054)
VIC1 is 6dB amplifier.

Based on CVBS signal, the final output level must be 2Vpp without 75ohm terminal resitance.
Because the level of video encoder output is only 1.1Vpp, the level is adjusted with the special amplifier.
When mute of pin 5 is high active, if the pin is floating and connecte to power, the output signal is never
ouputted.
CVBS, Y, C, R, Pb(B), Pr(R) outputted from video encoder are inputted to VIC1 (Pin 2, 8, 6, 16, 14).
The signal to which gain is adjusted by amplifier is outputted from jack via 75ohm Resistance (VR11~VR16).

8. VCR Deck Operating Description
8-1 Features of Mechanism
The following items describe features of the mechanism in VCR.
(1) This VCR uses 3-motor system consisted of a cylinder motor, capstan motor, and loading motor.
A capstan motor is used to drive the reel and the driving force is transmitted throuch the belt capstan.
The cassette loading, tape loading, and mode shift operation are performed by the loading motor.
(2) The time duration from cassette-in to picture appearance is shortened by employing the loading drive mecha-
nism (automatic transferring operation from the cassette loading to the tape loading by rotating the loading
motor continuously), and by increasing the speed of the tape loading, etc
(3) Employment of the full loading system shortens time required to shift the mode such as STOP to PLAY-BACK
picture display.
(4) To simplify wiring and others, the electrical components relating to operation of the mechanical deck, such as
sensors, mode switch, servo microcomputer, etc. are mounted on the PCB arranged all over the bottom side of
the mechanical deck.
8-2 Basic Configuration of Mechanism

As shown in Fig. 8-1, the mechanism of VCR is configured with five main blocks, and each operation is precisely
controlled by the microcomputer built in the system control section.
First, load a video cassette tape in VCR :
(1) The cassette is automatically set on the reel disc.
(2) The tape is pulled out from the cassette, and wrapped around the cylinder.
(3) The cylinder turns in a constant speed rate synchronizing with the vertical Sync. signal of video signal.
(4) The tape runs in synchronization with cylinder rotation and traces the video tracks precisely.
(5) The running tape is taken up by the reel, the tape feeding side is given with a proper tension so that tape is not
slacked.
The above series of operations are performed under control of the system control section. The system control sec-
tion also sends commands to each mechanism according to the operation buttons, thus the VCR is designed so
that various operations such as recording, playback, special playback, FPS/RPS, and FF/REW, etc. are correctly
performed.

8-3 Main Mechanism and Functions

8-3-1 Tape Path System
The tape come out from the supply reel (S) of the video cassette runs through paths shown in Figs. 8-2 and 8-3,
and is taken up by the take-up (T) reel. (S stands for the supply reel, and T for the take-up reel, hereafter.)
At S reel side (tape enterance side of the cylinder) against the cylinder, a tension post to allow the tape surface to
contact with each head with a proper tension which assures stable running, an FE head which erases entire data
of the tape, and an S guide roller which restricts tape motion in upward/downward direction are provided.
In the same way, a T guide roller, audio head to record audio signals at upper side of the tape, control head to
record and reproduce a control signal at lower side of the tape, and an audio erase head to erase only the audio
signals and perform after-recording in parallel with the audio head are provided at T reel side. (tape exit side of
the cylinder).
The guide parts marked with asterisks (*) are equipped with the adjusting mechanism to stabilize the tape run-
ning or to record and reproduce the signals precisely.

8-3-2 Reel Drive System
The reel drive system consists of a capstan motor as a drive power source, belt as a power transmission mecha-
nism, clutch mechanism, idle gears, and a reel disc. Selecting of forward rotation or reverse rotation is carried out
by an idle gear which changes its rotating direction according to rotating direction of the clutch holder.
Reel take-up torque is selected according to an operation mode.
In the record, playback, fps, rps modes, the reel take-up torque is controlled by the clutch mechanism, thereby the
tape fed by the capstan is taken up with a proper torque.
In the FF and REW modes, the clutch enters a direct connecting status in which the clutch mechanism does not
operate and the capstan drive torque is transmitted without reduction, so a high speed taking-up is enabled.

A full loading system is employed.

In the full loading system, the tape loading starts at the same time when the cassette loading operation has com-
pleted and cassette has been mounted, and the tape is pulled out, wrapped around the cylinder and the mecha-
nism enters the stop status under this condition.

8-4-4 Playback Standby Mode
In the full loading system, the tape loading starts at the same time when the cassette mounting has completed, the
mechanism shifts to the playback position, and enters the standby status with keeping tape wrapped around the
cylinder.
In this case, tape tension applied to the cylinder is decreased to protect the tape and to prevent the tape from
scratches.

8-4-5 FF/REW Modes
The reels enter a free status by rotating the loading motor to go to FF/REW position.
In this case, the capstan motor rotates in colck-wise direction in the REW mode. The idle gear is swung rightward
or leftward according to the rotating direction of the capstan motor. As a result, the T reel rotates in the FF mode
or the S reel rotates in the REW mode, thus taking up the tape to the rotating reel.

8-4-6 Record/Playback Modes
When the record or playback button is pressed, the tape is fed by the rotation of the capstan motor.
In this case, a tension post touches the tape and braking froces created by the band brake linked with the tension
post is applied to the S reel, thereby stabilizing the tape tension. The tape fed by the capstan is taken up around
the T reel. The T reel is driven with a constant torque generated by transmitting rotation of the capstan motor to
the clutch mechanism.

8-5 System Control

In the VCR, complex mechanism, video, audio, servo circuits, etc. must be operated in specified timings matched
each other. The system control circuit performs entire controls for the VCR.
An automatic stop function is also provided to protect important tape if a trouble occurs on the complex mecha-
nism and the electrical circuits.
For this purpose, status of each part of the mechanism is always monitored with various sensor switches, and the
microcomputer controls collectively the unit so that the best condition is kept.
Moreover, the microcomputer controls signal switchings for each circuit according to the mechanism status.

8-6-2 Mode Sensor Drive
The mode sensor converts each mode of the mechanism into an electrical signal and transmits it to the microcom-
puter. The FL cam gear is rotated by the loading motor, and the cam slider slides after operation of the cassette
holder.
Then the mode switch also rotates synchronized with the cam slider and outputs a signal corresponding to each
mode. This signal is transmitted to the microcomputer and the microcomputer stops the cam slider at a specified
angle, thus establishing each mode.
The IC601 controls Capstan Motor Drive IC for each mode to make the loading motor rotate in forward or reverse
direction, thereby setting the mechanism at a specified position.
The mode switch develops three outputs A, B and C.
The circuit configuration of the mode sensor drive is shown in Fig. 8-22.

(3) The capstan motor enters the intermittent operation mode and then stops.
(4) IC 601 maintains the recording speed data just before the still operation.
(5) In the slow mode, the capstan motor rotates continuously in the intermittent driving.
<FPS mode>
(1) When the [FF] button is pressed in the playback mode, the mechanism enters the FPS mode (forward picture
search). The cam slider is in the position IV (playback mode), the cylinder motor is rotating, and the capstan
motor is rotating in the forward direction.
(2) IC 601 controls the audio circuit to actuate the audio mute operation.
(3) IC601 makes the capstan rotate at 7 times for SP, 21 times for SLP to feed the tape, respectively.
The tape is taken up at a constant torque by the clutch mechanism. (The mechanical operation is the same as
that in the playback mode.)
(4) The recording speed data identified by IC601 is displayed on the Led module.

<RPS mode>
(1) When the [REW] button is pressed in the playback mode, the mechanism enters the RPS mode.
The cam slider is in the position IV (playback mode), the cylinder motor is rotating, and the capstan motor is
rotating in the forward direction.
(2) IC601 controls the audio circuit to actuate the audio mute operation.
(3) IC601 controls Capstan Motor Drive IC to make the loading motor rotate in the reverse direction.
After 180ms the loading motor stops for 250ms. During the mode shift operation, the mechanism rotates the
capstan motor in the forward direction for a constant time so that the tape is not slackened.
(4) When the cam slider reaches the position c (loading motor stoped for 250ms), the capstan motor is rotated in
the reverse direction for a constant time, and the idle gear is swung toward the S reel disc side.
Then, the loading motor rotates in reverse direction and shifts to the position III (RPS mode).
When the cam slider reaches the position III (RPS mode), the loading motor stops.
The mechanism status is as follows :
1) The No.9 guide is loaded.
2) The tension post is separated from the tape.
3) The T soft brake is turned on.
The cpastan motor rotates in the reverse direction at 7 times for SP, 21 times for SLP to feed the tape in the
REW direction, respectively. At the same time, the idle gear transmits the rotation to the S reel disc and
the S reel disc takes up the tape by the clutch mechanism.
(5) The recording speed data identified by IC601 is displayed on the Led module.

S brake (OFF) T brake (RPS brake)
Fig. 8-28 RPS Mode (Position III)

[7] REC mode
<REC mode>
(1) When the [REC] button is pressed in the stop mode, the mechanism enters the REC mode.
(2) The cylinder motor starts and then the loading motor rotates in reverse direction.
The cam slider reaches the position IV (playback mode).
The tape is taken up at a constant torque. The mechanism operations are the same as those in the playback.
(3) IC601 controls the audio circuit and video circuit to set the record enable mode.
(4) Recording mute is released, thus setting the recording status. The CTL signal is output for recording.
<REC PAUSE mode>
(1) When [PAUSE] button is pressed in the REC mode, the mechanism enters the REC pause mode.
(2) IC601 controls the audio circuit and the video circuit, and releases the record enable mode and performs the
rewinding for synchronous editing.
(3) After completion of the rewinding for synchronous editing, the cam slider is in the position IV (playback
mode), the cylinder motor is rotating, and the capstan motor and the loading motor stop.
