E01: Loading EMG  | When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to an-  | 1.  | The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.  | 
  | other mode even when the loading motor has rotated  | 2. The mechanism is locked at the loading end due to the encoder position  | |
  | for more than 4 seconds in the loading direction, [E:01]  | 
  | reading error during mode transition.  | 
  | is identified and the power is turned off.  | 3.  | Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.  |

E02: Unloading EMG  | When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to an-  | 1.  | The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.  | 
  | other mode even when the loading motor has rotated  | 2.  | The mechanism is locked at the unloading end due to the encoder posi-  | 
  | for more than 4 seconds in the unloading direction, [E:02]  | 
  | tion reading error during mode transition.  | 
  | is identified and the power is turned off.  | 3.  | Power is not supplied to the loading MDA.  |

E03: Take Up Reel  | When the   | 1.  | The   | 
Pulse EMG  | more than 4 seconds in the capstan rotating mode, [E:03]  | 
  | FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;  | 
  | is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped,  | 
  | 1) The idler gear is not meshed with the   | 
  | and the power is turned off. However, the reel EMG is  | 
  | 2) The idler gear is meshed with the   | 
  | not detected in STILL/SLOW modes.  | 
  | ing due to too large mechanical load (abnormal tension);  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 3) The   | 
  | 
  | 2.  | The supply reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport modes (REV  | 
  | 
  | 
  | SEARCH/REW, etc.) because;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 1) The idler gear is not meshed with the supply reel gear.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 2) The idler gear is meshed with the supply reel gear, but incapable of wind-  | 
  | 
  | 
  | ing due to too large a mechanical load (abnormal tension);  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 3) The supply reel sensor does not output the FG pulse.  | 
  | 
  | 3.  | Power is not supplied to the reel sensors.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
E04: Drum FG  | When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more  | 1.  | The drum could not start or the drum rotation has stopped due to too large  | 
EMG | than 3 seconds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is iden-  | 
  | a load on the tape, because;  | 
  | tified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and  | 
  | 1) The tape tension is abnormally high;  | 
  | the power is turned off.  | 2.  | 2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape.  | 
  | 
  | The drum FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 2) The FG pulse generator (hall device) of the drum is faulty.  | 
  | 
  | 3.  | The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.  | 
  | 
  | 4.  | Power is not supplied to the drum MDA.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
E05: Cassette Eject  | When the eject operation does not complete in 3 sec-  | 1.  | The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of  | 
EMG  | onds after the start, [E:05] is identified, the pinch rollers  | 
  | the housing.  | 
  | are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.  | 2. When the housing load increases during ejection, the loading motor is  | |
  | When the cassette insertion operation does not complete  | 
  | stopped because of lack of headroom in its drive torque.  | 
  | in 3 seconds after the start, the cassette is ejected. In  | 
  | Housing load increasing factors: Temperature environment (low tempera-  | 
  | addition, when the operation does not complete within  | 
  | ture, etc.), mechanism wear or failure.  | 
  | 3 seconds after the start, [E:05] is also identified and the  | 3.  | The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally.  | 
  | power is turned off immediately.  | 4.  | The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power is not sup-  | 
  | 
  | 
  | plied to the motor (MDA).  | 
  | 
  | 5.  | When the user attempted to eject a cassette, a foreign object (or perhaps  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the user's hand) was caught in the opening of the housing.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
E06: Capstan FG  | When the capstan FG pulse has not been generated for  | 1.  | The capstan could not start or the capstan rotation has stopped due to too  | 
EMG  | more than 1 second in the capstan rotating mode, [E:06]  | 
  | large a load on the tape, because;  | 
  | is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped,  | 
  | 1) The tape tension is abnormally high (mechanical lock);  | 
  | and the power is turned off.However, the capstan EMG  | 
  | 2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) is adhered to the  | 
  | is not detected in STILL/SLOW/FF/REW modes.  | 2.  | tape (occurrence of tape entangling, etc.).  | 
  | 
  | The capstan FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 2) The FG pulse generator (MR device) of the capstans is faulty.  | 
  | 
  | 3.  | The capstan control voltage (CAPSTAN CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.  | 
  | 
  | 4.  | Power is not supplied to the capstan MDA.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
E07: SW Power  | When   | 1.  | The SW 5 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.  | 
has lasted for 0.5 second or more, [E:07] is identified,  | 2.  | The SW 12 V power supply circuit is shorted with GND.  | |
EMG  | all the motors are stopped and the power is turned off.  |

E08: DD Initialized  | When DD tilting does not complete in 4 seconds, [E:08]  | 1.  | The absolute value sensor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)  |

  | 
  | The absolute value sensor data is not sent to the System Controller CPU.  | |

  | 
  | 5.  | The FG pulse is not sent to the System Controller CPU.  | 
  | 
  | 6.  | The tilt motor is defective. (The soldered parts have separated.)  |

E0A:Supply Reel  | When the supply reel pulse has not been generated for  | 1.  | The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/  | 
Pulse EMG  | more than 10 seconds in the capstan rotating mode,  | 
  | FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;  | 
  | [E:0A] is identified and the cassette is ejected (but the  | 
  | 1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cas-  | 
  | power is not turned off). However, note that the reel EMG  | 
  | sette is cut in the middle;  | 
  | is not detected in the SLOW/STILL mode.  | 
  | 2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the supply  | 
  | 
  | 
  | reel side of the cassette shell. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate  | 
  | 
  | 
  | until the tape slack is removed by the FWD transport, so the pulse is not  | 
  | 
  | 
  | generated until then;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 3) The FG pulse output from the supply reel sensor is absent.  | 
  | 
  | 2.  | The   | 
  | 
  | 
  | SEARCH/REW, etc.).  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 1) REV SEARCH/REW is started when the tape in the inserted cassette  | 
  | 
  | 
  | has been cut in the middle;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the   | 
  | 
  | 
  | reel side of the cassette shell. In this case, the supply reel will not rotate  | 
  | 
  | 
  | until the tape slack is removed by the REV transport, so the pulse will  | 
  | 
  | 
  | not be generated until that time;  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 3) The FG pulse output from the   | 
  | 
  | 3.  | The power to a reel sensor is not supplied.  |

EC1 or EU1:  | Presupposing the presence of the control pulse output in the PLAY mode, when the value obtained by mixing the two V.FM output  | ||
Head clog warning  | channels (without regard to the A.FM output) has remained below a certain threshold level for more than 10 seconds, [E:C1] or [E:U1]  | ||
  | is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which a head clog is detected, the FDP and OSD repeat the  | ||
  | |||
  | EMG code : “E:C1” or “E:U1” / FDP : “U:01” / OSD : “Try cleaning tape.” or “Use cleaning cassette.”  | ||
  | The head clog warning is reset when the   | ||
  | changed to another mode than PLAY.  |
