SECTION 3
ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
3.1Precaution
The following adjustment procedures are not only necessary after replacement of consumable mechanical parts or board assemblies, but are also provided as references to be re- ferred to when servicing the electrical circuitry.
In case of trouble with the electrical circuitry, always begin a service by identifying the defective points by using the meas- uring instruments as described in the following electrical ad- justment procedures. After this, proceed to the repair, replace- ment and / or adjustment. If the required measuring instru- ments are not available in the field, do not change the adjust- ment parts (variable resistor, etc.) carelessly.

•Color (colour) television or monitor
•Oscilloscope:

3.1.3 Switch settings and standard precautions
The SW settings of the VCR and the standard precautions for the electrical adjustments are as follows.
•When using the Jig RCU, set its custom code to match the custom code of the VCR.

•Unless otherwise specified, all measuring points and adjustment parts are located on the Main board.
•When checking the operation or performing adjust- ments to the VCP main unit, it is necessary to connect the power cable (Car Cable) to the VCP main unit so that DC power is supplied. Also, when using the re- mote control unit, it is required to connect the IR re- ceiver. (by using either the provided or operational ac- cessories)

(1)Play back the signal (A1) of the alignment tape (A2).
(2)Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E) to observe the VIDEO OUT waveform and V.PB FM waveform at the measuring points (D1) and (D2).
(3)Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode.
(4)Adjust tracking so that the V.PB FM waveform becomes maximum.
(5)Set the VCR to the Auto adjust mode by transmitting the code (F) from the Jig RCU. When the VCR enters the stop mode, the adjustment is completed.
(6)If the VCR enters the eject mode, repeat steps (1) to (5) again.
(7)Play back the alignment tape (A2) again, confirm that the switching point is the specified value (G).
