1-2. DV System
The home DV system digital video records and plays back video signals to/
from the video tapes using digital signals. The digital signals are composed
of “0” and “1” two signals, and they do not have continuous many values
that the analog signals have. Accordingly, only if the presence of signals (0
or 1) can be judged, they can be used as data, and thus the deterioration of
signals can be eliminated even through the processes such as a recording
and a playback without influence of noise.
The differences in format from the analog system are as listed in Table 1-1.

1-3. Digital Signals Figure 1-2 Example of digital signal waveform
In the DV system, the video and audio analog signals from the camera are
A/D-converted into digital signals. After A/D conversion, the signals are
only observed like a waveform as shown in Figure 1-2 even if they are
observed with an oscilloscope. As a result, the presence of signal can be
checked but whether the signal is normal cannot be judged.
This figure shows a waveform of A/D converter output signal of the
camera input.
As the waveform is almost same even if a subject of camera is changed,
only the presence of signal can be checked.

First, replace the blown fuse because the power may turn on simply by
replacing the fuse.
If the fuse blows again even thought it is replaced, check for a shortcircuit
between the line in which the fuse exists and GND. If it is normal, check
for a shortcircuit between B line which precedes that line and GND.

Also, when the shortcircuited B line is branched as shown in Figure 2-7, a
faulty part can be identified by removing and checking the coils in the B
line.
The HI Control supervises the inputs of the POWER switch, etc. and out-
puts the control signals such as VTR DD ON signal to control the power
circuit. (For the control signals, see “2-2. Difference of Power Control in
Each Mode”.)
If the power is not supplied to the HI Control or if the HI Control fails, the
HI Control cannot control the power circuit and as a result, the power does
not turn on in the main set.

operate when the RESET signal is “L” (0V).
If the power supply is attached to the main set, the BATT UNREG (power
from the battery terminal) or UNREG (power from the DC IN terminal) is
supplied to the backup & reset IC (IC2201 7 pin).

2-5-3. Checking the input to HI Control
When the power is supplied to the HI Control normally, the CS (BATT IN)

become both “H” (about 3V), and also about 3V voltage is present in the B
line.
If these voltages are not normal, check the voltage at each point in the
reverse flow of the power supply to the HI Control.

3. Identifying Method
To identify a faulty block, compare the signal path of normal output with
that of abnormal output.
In case of the output of same symptom, a faulty part will exist in the path
where the signal is not branched yet. In the case of normal output and ab-
normal output, a faulty part will exist in the path where the signal is already
branched.
If the symptom is different depending on the mode, a fault will exist in the
part where the signal path is different depending on the mode.

the page for the Camera Control is abnormal), the Camera Con-

3-4. Identifying a Faulty Part
Check if the lens iris is kept closed. As for a checking method, change
over the POWER switch between OFF and CAMERA while looking
into the lens. When the iris operates normally, the iris closes with the
POWER switch in OFF position, and it opens in CAMERA position.
If the iris is normal, check the CCD imager.
When only one color of RGB is abnormal as shown in Figure 3-19, the
circuit block where the signal is separated into RGB signals will be
faulty. Check that block, mainly the circuit concerned.

that could be faulty at high possibility from the past repair cases among the
parts closed in on. For example, if the part was replaced due to a video-related trouble, open
and reverse the LCD screen, so that an image is displayed on both viewfinder
and LCD screen. Connect the DV IN/OUT terminal to another set that has
the DV terminal. Connect the S1 VIDEO terminal or the VIDEO terminal
of VIDEO/AUDIO terminals to the color monitor. In checking the opera-
tion, check these all outputs.
3-5-3. When the symptom remains unchanged
The part other than the replaced part will be faulty. Replace the part that
could be faulty at high possibility among the parts not replaced.
The replaced part will be faulty or the replacement work will be faulty (for
instance, solder bridge). Check the replaced part and its periphery for evi-
dence of abnormality. If particular abnormality is not found, replace that
part again.
