Magnetowid JVC HR-S9500 źle działa mechanizm kasety

Witam wszystkich. Problem polega na wadliwym działaniu mechanizmu załadowczego kasety. Po włączeniu do sieci, mechanizm automatycznie włącza się bez włożenia kasety. Nie mogąc opuścić windy, mechanizm działa w kierunku wydania kasety i magnetowid wyłącza się. Na płycie jest mikro wyłącznik, który ma dwa zadania: daje impuls do startu windy, a po załadowaniu kasety rozpoznaje, czy jest ząbek związany z możliwością nagrywania. Brałem możliwość, że jest gdzieś zwarcie, jednak po dokonaniu przerwy do ścieżki nr 4 do układu IC3301, problem nie ustał. Strona nr 8 z tym procesorem. Może ktoś pochyli się nad tym...

SECTION 1
VIDEO CIRCUIT
1.1 CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION IN GENERAL
Let us discuss signal processing in general taking the HR-S9500U as an example.
As can be seen from the video block diagram of the Service Manual, the video circuitry consists of the
VIDEO/ONSCREEN (MAIN board) circuit and the VIDEO, 3D/TBC (3D SVHS board) circuit.
The VIDEO, 3D/TBC (3D SVHS board) consists mainly of the IC1 which carries out normal video signal
processing. This IC has been made by combining together the video signal processor IC and the prerecorder IC used in the 1997 model . It therefore basically takes over the functions of those two ICs,
except for a newly introduced function for the SVHS ET system.
The VIDEO, 3D/TBC (3D SVHS board) circuit consists of a SVHS system's proper circuit made up of an
IC1001 and an IC1002 and a picture quality enhancer which consists mainly of an IC1401 (IC1201 in
some models).
In the 1998 version, while all the models are equipped with the VIDEO/ON SCREEN (MAIN board) circuit,
the VIDEO, 3D/TBC (3D SVHS board) circuit is included only in the SVHS models.
All this is summarized in Table 1-1-1.

1.2 SIGNAL PROCESSING IN GENERAL
Let us discuss signal processing in general taking the HR-S9500U as an example.
1.2.1 Signal processing during recording
Fig. 1-2-1 shows a video signal flow chart during recording.
1) Y-signal processing
The composite input signals from the front and rear tuners are fed to pins 50, 18 and 52 of IC1001.
Those input signals are selected by SW24. The composite input signals then undergo AGC and FBC
processing and are separated between Y and C components at IC1401. The Y signal is then delivered
to IC1001.
On the other hand, the S input Y signals from the front and rear tuners are selected at IC1003 and fed to
pin 46 of IC1001 in order to undergo AGC and other processing.
Selection between the composite input mode and the S input mode is accomplished by SW1 and SW6.
The Y signal, after passing through the N/S-LPS, undergoes non-linear emphasis processing at IC1002
1-4

in the SVHS mode, and is then delivered to IC1 as it is in the VHS mode.
The signal is subjected to normal FM modulation processing at IC1.
2) C-signal processing
The C component of the composite input signal is likewise separated from the Y component at IC1401
and is delivered to IC1001.
Selection of the S input C signal between the front and rear tuners is accomplished by IC1003.
The C signal is then delivered to IC1 via IC2 (REC/PB selector) and undergoes normal low-frequency
range conversion processing.
1.2.2 Signal processing during playback
Fig. 1-2-2 shows a video signal flow chart during playback.
1) Y signal processing
The FM signal from the video head is fed to the pre-amp section of IC1 and is then delivered from pin 79.
Upon switching IC2, the signal passes through the equalizer in the SVHS mode, while going to IC1 as it
is, for normal FM demodulation processing in the VHS mode.
The Y signal after FM demodulation is sent to IC1001 and is subjected to non-linear de-emphasis
processing at IC1002 in the SVHS mode, while going directly to IC1001 in the VHS mode.
The Y signal is then sent to IC1 again and undergoes YNR, DE, APT and ALC processing to go out of
IC1.
It is finally subjected to NR processing (see Sec. 2 for details) at IC1401 and is again delivered to
IC1001. Thereafter, the S output signal goes through pin 26 to be delivered from the S output connector
of the rear tuner.
The composite output is sent to the adder section to be added to the C signal.
After addition, the composite signal going through pin 23 is subjected to onscreen processing at IC201
and is then sent to the composite output terminal and the RF converter of the rear tuner.
Note that for the S output of the onscreen menu, the composite signal delivered from IC201 is fed to pin
25 of IC1001 and is then internally separated between Y and C to be output like a normal Y signal.
2) C signal processing
The FM signal from the video head is delivered to the pre-amp section of IC1. The C component is then
taken out of it at 2MLPF and CLPF and is subjected to normal C signal demodulation processing.
Note that this IC demodulator employs the double main converter system introduced with the 1996
models. See the Technical Guide (VTG82081) of the HR-VF830U/E939EG/J936MS for details.
The demodulated C signal undergoes B.D and other processing to be delivered from IC1.
The C signal is then subjected to NR processing (see Sec. 2 for details) at IC1401 and is fed to IC1001.
The S output signal goes through pin 21 and is delivered from the S output terminal of the rear tuner.
The composite output is sent to the adder with the Y signal to be processed as described for the Y
signal.
The S output signal for the onscreen menu is processed as described for the Y signal.
1.2.3 Signal processing during EE
The video signal flow for the EE system is shown in Fig. 1-2-3 for reference.

1.3 THE SVHS ET FACILITY IN GENERAL
As is widely known, the SVHS ET facility is a new technique that enables SVHS recording and playback
on a VHS tape. Note however that the SVHS ET facility is not an independent system but is just part of the
SVHS system.
1.3.1 Hardware of the SVHS facility
As is seen from the block diagrams given in the previous sections for video signal processing in individual
modes, there is no circuit dedicated to the SVHS ET system in the video circuitry. The SVHS ET facility
basically shares its functions with the SVHS system circuit.
This means that it is not possible to install the SVHS ET facility in any model not equipped with an SVHS
system. This is because the SVHS ET facility is part of the SVHS system as discussed above.
As is known, it is possible to record a VHS tape in the SVHS mode if an S detection hole is provided on the
cassette shell. Since a VHS tape is of ferrous oxide just like an SVHS tape, there is no problem of inferior
picture and sound quality if a VHS tape of superior magnetic characteristics is used for SVHS recording
and playback.
However, since the SVHS ET facility is to be marketed as a commercial item, we have to satisfy the
following two requirements.
1) SVHS ET format recording and playback should be guaranteed for all the tapes within the range of
magnetic characteristics specified for the VHS format;
2) Playback of the tape recorded in the SVHS ET is ensured on all the existing SVHS models.
To accomplish this, the SVHS-format video circuit equipped with the SVHS ET facility offers the solutions
described below when it is in the SVHS ET mode.
1) Change of the W/D clip level (recording circuit)
2) Change of the main emphasis characteristics (recording circuit)
3) Change of recording level (Y and C) and recording current (recording circuit)
While the details of each process are certainly important, the critical point here is that all the solutions are
limited only to the recording circuit.
In other words, the playback circuit of the SVHS ET function is exactly the same as the SVHS system's
playback circuit.

1-16

The SVHS ET facility meets the second requirement with its own specifications.
Besides, all these solutions are provided to achieve the second requirement on the presumption that the
SVHS format's playback circuit is used for playback in the SVHS ET mode.
The details of those solutions are discussed below.
1) Change of the W/D clip level (recording circuit)
The VHS tape has inferior high-frequency characteristics to the SVHS tape. This may lead to a
reversing effect during playback unless the white clip level (at the high-frequency range of the SVHS FM
signal) is reduced. While, in the HR-S9500U, the white clip level in the SVHS mode is 210 % in the
SVHS mode, it is 190 % in the SVHS ET mode.
Note however that this clip level is associated with the magnetic characteristics of heads and tapes,
subsequent models may have a clip level different from the current setting.
2) Change of the main emphasis characteristics (recording circuit)
The main emphasis characteristics are also subjected to changes of frequency responses so that they
comply with the characteristics of a VHS-format tape.
3) Change of recording level (Y, C) and recording current (recording circuit)
Regarding this subject, the tape used when writing the standard value of the best system of the IC1
pre-recording amp section is different between the SVHD ET mode and the SVHS mode (VHS tape in
the SVHS ET mode and SVHS tape in the SVHS mode), the standard value is naturally different.
See the Technical Guide (VTG82081) of the HR-VP830U/E939EG/J936MS for details of the best
system.

3D VIDEO SIGNAL ROCESSOR

Fig. 2-2-1 EE/REC mode block diagram of 3D video signal processor
1. CLAMP
This sync tip clamp improves response and defect of sync tip as a result of reconsideration of change in
clamping current.
2. ED DET
In the EE mode LETTER BOX SQUEEZE DETECTION is activated to detect letter box squeeze with 22H
EDTV II DISCRIMINATION signal. In the letter box PB mode LETTER BOX BLANK PART MUTE is
activated to mute blank part by serial control or NR OFF functions to turn off NR system.
3. SYNC SEPARATION
Extracts SYNC signal in accordance with synchronous tip.
4. NON-STANDARD DETECTION (STD DET)
In the EE mode signals unconformable to the NTSC standard are detected by this circuit.
5. 2DYCS (2D YC SEPARATION)
The logic comb system is adopted for NTSC while the logic system is adopted for PAL and M-PAL. The
NTSC, PAL and M-PAL have the horizontal median control (on/off).
One-dimensional processing in the N-PAL and SECAM modes.
2-2

6. 3DYCS
Motion detection sensitivity can be set in three steps: near animation, standard, and near still. Switching
from 2-D to 3-D can be set in five steps.
7. MEMORY CONTROL
1) Memory control vertical timing adjustment
Vertical timing adjustment is effective only for memory write timing in the trick mode and it is adjustable
between -7H and +7H. Adjustment of time lag in V. pulse during DD playback can be manually
corrected.
2) Lower part mute in digital trick
The lower part of picture is muted into black in the digital trick mode. Mute width is variable for 9H, 12H
or 15H in the bottom of picture.
3) 3D NR in DD PB
This circuit activates the three-dimensional NR system in the DD PB mode as same as the normal PB
mode. However, this 3D NR is not activated in the digital trick mode in which the memory is used for
trick operation.
4) Non-interlace in continuous slow operation
In the digital trick mode, continuous slow operation is smoothly performed by this function because it
processes signal without interlacing.
5) 1H V hold correction by V pulse
When V. pulse is used as the vertical reference, V hold may be unstable for 1H because of jitter of the
signal. This circuit functions to correct such the unstable V hold.
8. DA EQUALIZER
Corrects frequency response of the DA converter with the digital filter.
9. PLL (MULTICLOCK PLL)
This circuit oscillates clock of the burst clock by comparing the phase of input fsc with that of sine wave
read out of the ROM according to the broadcasting system. Oscillation frequency that conforms to fsc of
each broadcasting system is 8 fsc or 4 fsc.

activated to mute blank part by serial control or NR OFF functions to turn off NR system.
3. SYNC SEPARATION
Extracts SYNC signal in accordance with synchronous tip.

2-4

4. Y COMB/DOC
1) Y COMB
The Y comb filter actuated in the PB mode. Limiter width can be varied in three steps.
2)DOC
Outputs dropout-compensated Y and C signals in the PB mode by adding a signal 1H before each
dropout to the signal.
5. Y1H DELAY
Delays Y signal by 1H in the PB mode to reduce color blurring caused by the PS comb.
6. VAPT
The vertical aperture in the PB mode. Although the vertical aperture is interlocked with the APT (horizontal
aperture) in previous IC's, this VAPT is variable individually.
7. TBC/YCTIM
1) TBC
This TBC is an interpolating TBC that operates with single clock. While correcting jitter within +/-1H by
the 2H line memory, this TBC prevents the memory from overflowing by servo control based on readout
of the memory.
2) YC timing adjustment
Adjusts YC timing in the range between -4T and +3T.
8. 3DYNR
A frame cyclic NR circuit to improve S/N ratio of luminance signal in the PB mode. Residual image is
reduced by hadamard conversion and dynamic vector correction. Reduction effect can be set in 7 steps
besides OFF. Improvement rate is 0 to 8.4 dB (when TBC is on) or 0 to 1.4 dB (when TBC is off).
9. MEMORY CTL
1) Memory control vertical timing adjustment
Vertical timing adjustment is effective only for memory write timing in the trick mode and it is adjustable
between -7H and +7H. Adjustment of time lag in V. pulse during DD playback can be manually
corrected.
2) Lower part mute in digital trick
The lower part of picture is muted into black in the digital trick mode. Mute width is variable for 9H, 12H
or 15H in the bottom of picture.
3) 3D NR in DD PB
This circuit activates the three-dimensional NR system in the DD PB mode as same as the normal PB
mode. However, this 3D NR is not activated in the digital trick mode in which the memory is used for
trick operation.
4) Non-interlace in continuous slow operation
In the digital trick mode, continuous slow operation is smoothly performed by this function because it
processes signal without interlacing.
5) 1H V hold correction by V pulse
When V. pulse is used as the vertical reference, V hold may be unstable for 1H because of jitter of the
signal. This circuit functions to correct such the unstable V hold.

2-5

10. TRI R/APT
1) APT
The horizontal aperture in the PB mode. Effect of this APT can be set in seven steps, namely 3 steps in
the softening side, neutral (center) and 3 steps in the sharpening side. The TRI R is employed for the
sharpening side.
2) TRI R
The detail enhancer, which gives picture more natural sharpness because it sharpens edges without
excessive overshoot. Enhancing effect of the TRI R is variable in four degrees: feeble, weak,
intermediate and strong, independently from the VAPT.
11. HNR
One-dimensional hadamard noise reduction circuit. This noise reduction function can be set in three
modes of low, middle and high besides OFF, and limiter level in each mode can be switched between high
and low.
12. DEC (DECODER)
Demodulates chroma signal into color difference signal in the PB mode with the TBC turned on. Sensitivity
is changeable by varying threshold level of the feed forward APC.
13. PS COMB/2D CNR
1) PS Comb
The two-line comb filter, which also serves as a three-line comb filter in combination with the PS comb
filter built in IC1. This comb filter takes effect when the TBC is on in the PB mode.
Since this filter shares the line memory with the PS comb filter, it functions as a CNR circuit together
with the PS comb filter. For reducing data to be saved in the memory, data on the cyclic route is
curtailed (interlaced) by half in this circuit. There are two cyclic coefficients, namely 0.5 and 0.75.
2) DOC
Outputs dropout-compensated Y and C signals in the PB mode by adding a signal 1H before each
dropout to the signal.
17. 3DCNR/SCC
The CNR of this circuit is a combination type of frame cyclic CNR and frame non-cyclic CNR, and its
reduction effect can be set in 7 steps besides OFF. The SCC emphasizes high components by frame
cyclic processing (in 3 steps) as well as emphasizes edges by horizontal direction processing.
18.ENC (ENCODER)
Modulates color difference signal into chroma signal. Color thickness (tint and shade) can be adjusted by
the newly adopted function that increases variable burst level by 20 %.
19. BLK MUTE/ED MUTE/KILLER
1) Color blank mute
In the PB mode, unnecessary color signals in the horizontal blanking periods and PAL pilot burst signals
are muted by this circuit, which also functions to reduce transverse noise.
2) killer
Mutes color signal while receiving KILLER pulse in the PB mode.
20. PLL (MULTICLOCK PLL)
This circuit oscillates clock of the burst clock by comparing the phase of input fsc with that of sine wave
read out of the ROM according to the broadcasting system. Oscillation frequency that conforms to fsc of
each broadcasting system is 1820 fh or 910 fh.

SECTION 3
SYSCON CIRCUIT
3.1 EXPLANATION OF SYSCON CIRCUIT
1998 models of JVC VCR's are roughly classified into two types: the first type has the CPU composed of
one IC chip and the second type has the coupled CPU composed of two IC chips. Since the syscon
system of 1998 models falling into the former type (having one-chip CPU) has nothing particularly different
from that of the models for the previous years, the following explains the syscon system of the second type
(with double CPU) giving consideration to that of the model HR-S9500U by way of example.
3.1.1 Outline of syscon system
Fig. 3-1-1 shows a block diagram of serial bus line connection of the HR-S9500U's syscon system.
This syscon system is composed of two IC chips: one is IC3001 that serves as the main CPU in the
master side and the other is IC3301 that serves as the sub CPU in the slave side.
The main routine program for the whole syscon system is written in the IC3001 of the main CPU.
The IC3001 of the main CPU fundamentally controls the circuits of the timer system, on-screen system
and tuner system besides the IC3301 of the sub CPU.
The IC3301 that serves as the sub CPU in the slave side as mentioned above fundamentally controls the
circuits of the mechanism system, servo system, video system and audio system. The IC3301 directly
controls the above-mentioned circuits according to the control program incorporated inside, however, its
function is just like an expander.
Those two IC's communicate to each other through the 8-bit serial and parallel bus lines between the pins
34 to 41 of the IC3301 and the pins 31 to 38 of the IC3001.
3.1.2 Outline of doctor system
Compared with models for the years before 1998, there is another important change in the syscon system
of 1998 VTR models having a couple of CPU's.
As noticed in our Service Bulletin, the syscon system of such the previous models needs resetting
(disconnecting/connecting resistors, etc.) each time the CPU or EEPROM for the syscon system is
replaced. If the syscon system is not reset after replacement of the CPU or EEPROM, the syscon system
occasionally fall into the hang-up status.
Regarding the syscon system of 1998 models that incorporate HITACHI microcomputers (IC's whose part
numbers are respectively led by HD such as HDxxxx) for the syscon system, the data on its version is
written in the EEPROM for the syscon system. Furthermore, the system to recognize the version of the
service EEPROM is incorporated in the CPU. Therefore, the syscon system incorporating a HITACHI
microcomputer has no need of resetting (disconnecting/connecting resistors, etc.) after replacement of the
CPU or EEPROM for the syscon system.
However, the syscon system of some 1998 VTR models incorporating a couple of CPU's employs
MITSUBISHI micro computers (IC's whose part numbers are led by M such as Mxxxx). Note that this
syscon system (employing MITSUBISHI microcomputers) needs resetting (disconnecting/connecting
resistors, etc.) after replacement of the CPU or EEPROM for the syscon system.

SERVO CIRCUIT
4.1 EXPLANATION OF SERVO CIRCUIT
The servo circuit of all JVC models except the DD and S-VHS models of the year of 1998 adopts the
software servo system which is incorporated in the syscon CPU, while the servo circuit of the DD and SVHS models adopts the digital servo system that has the independent servo IC as same as the past
models.
Since there is nothing new to report particularly in the digital servo system of the 1998 models, the
following gives explanation of the software servo system of the model HR-A34U by way of example.

4.2.1 Processing of DRUM SERVO signal
The DRUM FG IN signal (input to pin 87) and DRUM PG IN signal (input to pin 86) are used to control the
drum servo system.
Error in the speed control system is obtained by the SPEED COMPARATOR circuit, which compares the
actual period of the DRUM FG signal with the theoretical period of the DRUM FG that the reference clock
of X301 is counted with REF DATA. The REF DATA of the speed control system is fixed.
Error in the phase control system is obtained by the PHASE COMPARATOR circuit, which compares the
actual timing of the DRUM PG signal with the timing of a half-divided frequency (1/2 H. SYNC = frame
frequency) of H. SYNC that is extracted from C. SYNC signal of video signal.
The above-mentioned two errors are processed by the MIX circuit to be mixed as a resultant error, and the
MIX circuit controls the DRUM CTL V signal (output from pin 78) so as to eliminate the resultant error.
4.2.2 Processing of CAPSTAN SERVO signal
The CAP FG signal (input to pin 85) is used to control the capstan servo system.
Error in the speed control system is obtained by the SPEED COMPARATOR circuit, which compares the
actual period of the CAPSTAN FG signal with the theoretical period of the CAPSTAN FG that the
reference clock of X301 is counted with REF DATA. The REF DATA of the speed control system varies
depending on the tape speed mode.
Error in the phase control system is obtained by the PHASE COMPARATOR circuit, which compares the
actual timing of a divided frequency (frame frequency) of the CAPSTAN FG signal with the theoretical
timing of the frame frequency that the reference clock of X301 is counted with the REF DATA.
The capstan of the HR-A34U generates 360 FG pulses per rotation. The rotation speed of the capstan is 3
Hz in the SP mode, 1.5 Hz in the LP mode, or 1 Hz in the EP mode.
Therefore, the timing of the frame frequency is decided by dividing the FG into 1/36 for the SP mode, 1/18
for the LP mode or 1/12 for the EP mode.
The REF DATA of the phase control system is fixed.
The above-mentioned two errors are processed by the MIX circuit to be mixed as a resultant error, and the
MIX circuit controls the CAP CTL V signal so as to eliminate the resultant error.
The control pulses (outputs from pins 91 and 92) are generated timing with a half-divided frequency (frame
frequency) of H. SYNC signal that is extracted from the C. SYNC signal.

SECTION 5
EXPLANATION OF TYPE 29 MECHANISM
5.1 OUTLINE
The type 29 mechanism is an improved version of the type 22 mechanism and it is developed under the
design conception aiming at high serviceability, high response performance and down-sizing for saving
space. The type 29 mechanism is composed of more simplified parts as compared with the type 22
mechanism. The cassette housing operation are described below.

Table 5-2-1 Relation between switch and sensor outputs and cassette housing status
The REC SAFETY switch is also used to detect insertion of a video cassette, and the double function of
the REC SAFETY switched by the SYSCON CPU according to mode information from the rotary encoder.
When the mechanism is in the status between the EJECT END mode and the CASS-UP mode, the REC
SAFETY switch serves as the cassette insertion detector switch. If a video cassette is inserted in the
EJECT END mode, the REC SAFETY switch outputs an " H " level signal to the SYSCON CPU to inform it
that a video cassette is inserted, and the mechanism accordingly starts cassette intake operation.
After the CASS-INS mode, or after completion of cassette intake operation in other words, the REC
SAFETY switch does its original duty as the recording safety switch. After cassette intake operation is
complete, if the REC SAFETY switch outputs an " L " level signal, the SYSCON CPU recognizes that a
video cassette without a recording protection tab is inserted and is commands the mechanism to start
automatic playback operation.
If outputs of both the START sensor and END sensor are " L " level after completion of cassette intake
operation, the SYSCON CPU recognizes that the cassette tape is broken and the mechanism
automatically starts tape eject operation under a command of the SYSCON CPU.

5.3 OPERATION OF MECHANISM PARTS
Each mechanism part performs operation under control of the control cam and control plate. The control
cam turns by the loading motor's drive power that is transmitted through the worm gear. Rotation of the
control cam is transmitted to the control plate through the link lever assembly. Operations of the control
cam and control plate are monitored by the rotary encoder that is combined with the control plate, and
monitor results are transmitted to the SYSCON CPU.
Mechanism operation will be illustrated in the following with a flowchart that divides mechanism operation
into some blocks and some figures of the control cam and control plate.

5.3.1 Component parts controlled by control cam
The control cam controls the cassette gear and pinch lever assembly, and it also controls the control plate
through the link lever assembly as shown in Fig. 5-3-1.
Since the above-mentioned parts are engaged with the control cam by their respective gear teeth, trace
pin and so on, those parts start their workings with rotation of the control cam. The shape of the control
cam is outlined in Fig. 5-3-2 and 5-3-3.

Fig. 5-3-2 Control cam
(View from the lower side of the mechanism
chassis)

Fig. 5-3-3 Control cam
(View from the upper side of the mechanism
chassis)

1) Link lever assembly
The link lever assembly drives the control plate.
The link lever assembly is engaged with the control cam by the control cam's groove shown in Fig. 5-3-4
(control cam viewed from the lower side of the mechanism chassis) and the trace pin of the link lever
assembly.
Movement of the trace pin is controlled by the shape of the control cam's groove, therefore, the link lever
assembly converts rotational movement into sidewise movement according to change of the linear travel
distance between the center of the control cam and the trace pin, and the control plate is resultingly driven
by the link lever assembly.

Link lever assembly control groove

Fig. 5-3-4 Control cam (Link lever assembly drive part)

5-5

5.3.2 Component parts controlled by control plate
The control plate is engaged with the link lever assembly by the lock pin (shown in Fig. 5-3-5) of the former
and the control hole of the latter. Rotational movement of the control cam is converted into sidewise
movement by the link lever assembly, therefore, the control plate is driven sideways by the link lever
assembly.
The control plate not only controls the tension arm assembly, loading arm gear (SUP), capstan brake,
change lever, idler lever, take-up lever, main brake assembly (TU) and sub brake assembly (TU), but also
drives the rotary encoder in order to correctly convey the operation status of the mechanism to the
SYSCON CPU.
The above-mentioned parts are connected with the control plate by their respective gear teeth, trace pin
and so on, therefore, those parts are operated by sidewise movement of the control plate. The shape of
the control plate is shown in Fig. 5-3-5 and 5-3-6.

The rotary encoder is assembled in the mechanism taking a good phase in the mechanism assembly
mode, and it correctly conveys the status of the mechanism mode to the SYSCON CPU when the control
plate takes movement.
The rotary encoder is connected with the gear of the control plate shown in Fig. 5-3-7 (control plate viewed
from the lower side of the mechanism chassis).

1) Pinch lever assembly [M3-110]
The pinch lever assembly not only drives the pinch roller arm assembly and guide arm assembly but
controls the cassette tape loading system (TU side).
The pinch lever assembly is connected with the control cam by its trace pin that is set in the groove on the
control cam. (See Fig. 5-3-11 that shows the control cam as viewed from the upper side of the mechanism
chassis.)
Since the trace pin of the pinch lever assembly is controlled by the shape of the groove on the control cam,
the pinch lever assembly drives the pinch roller arm assembly and guide arm assembly by converting
rotational movement of the control cam into sidewise movement according to change of the linear
movement distance from the center of the control cam to the trace pin.

Pinch level assembly control groove

Fig. 5-3-11 Control cam (Pinch lever assembly drive part)
2) Tension arm assembly [M3-8]
The tension arm assembly serves not only to control the cassette tape loading system (SUP side) but to
drive the tension brake assembly.
Since the trace pin of the tension arm assembly contacts the edge part of the control plate (see Fig. 5-3-12
that shows the control plate as viewed from the lower side of the mechanism chassis), the tension arm
assembly works with movement of the control plate. When the trace pin of the tension arm assembly
travels from the part (a) to the part (b) (appearing in Fig. 5-3-12) of the control plate as the control plate
moves sideways, the tension arm assembly starts cassette tape loading operation.

3) Loading arm gear (SUP) [M3-152]
While the loading arm gear (SUP side) controls the cassette tape loading system of the SUP side by
driving the supply pole base assembly, it also controls the cassette tape loading system of the TU side by
driving the take-up pole base assembly through the loading arm gear (TU side).
The loading arm gear (SUP side) is engaged with the gear of the control plate, which appears in Fig. 5-313 that shows the control plate as viewed from the upper side of the mechanism chassis.

1) Capstan brake assembly [M3-59]
The capstan brake assembly applies the brakes on the capstan motor.
The capstan brake assembly is set so that its arm contacts the edge part of the control plate, which
appears in Fig. 5-3-15 that shows the control plate as viewed from the lower side of the mechanism
chassis. When the arm of the capstan brake assembly is located at the part (c) of the control plate, the
capstan brake assembly is out of braking work. However, when the arm comes into contact with the part
(d) of the control plate, the capstan brake assembly puts the brake on the capstan because the arm is
pushed out by the part (d).

Since the change lever is constructed so as to work in seesaw motion, it controls the direct gear according
to movement of the control plate.
The change lever assembly is set so that its arm usually contacts a crest part of the control plate (see Fig.
5-3-16 that shows the control plate as viewed from the lower side of the mechanism chassis) while it
presses the direct gear down by the other part in the opposite side. The direct gear is always pushed up by
the built-in spring.
Resultingly, the change lever presses the direct gear down when its arm is located in the crest part of the
control plate, however, the direct gear is pushed up by the internal spring when the arm of the change
lever is located in the trough part where the arm is free from duty.

3) Idler lever [M3-102]
The idler lever forcibly controls the working direction of the idler arm assembly depending on the
mechanism mode.
The idler lever is connected with the control plate by its trace pin, which is set in the control groove on the
control plate (see Fig. 5-3-17 that shows the control plate as viewed from the upper side of the mechanism
chassis).
Since movement of the trace pin of the idler lever is controlled by the varied shape of the groove on the
control plate, the idler lever controls working direction of the idler arm assembly so as to move it towards
the supply reek disk drive side or the take-up reel disk drive side or to stop it at the center position.

4) Take-up lever [M3-56]
The take-up lever applies the brakes on the supply reel disk through the take-up head.
The take-up lever is connected with the control plate by its trace pin, which contacts the edge part of the
control plate (see Fig. 5-3-18 that shows the control plate as viewed from the upper side of the mechanism
chassis). The take-up lever is always pulled by the tension spring in the direction to apply the brakes on
the supply reel disk, however, its operation is controlled by the control plate.
When the trace pin of the take-up lever is located between the part (e) and part (f) of the control plate, the
take-up lever is released from control of the control plate and it accordingly drives the take-up head to put
the brake on the supply reel disk.

5) Tension brake assembly [M3-102]
The tension brake assembly that is driven by the tension arm assembly applies the brakes on the supply
reel disk.
When the trace pin of the tension brake assembly is located at the edge part (b) of the control plate (see
Fig. 5-3-19 that shows the control plate as viewed from the lower side of the mechanism chassis), the
tension brake assembly puts the brake on the supply reel disk.

6) Main brake assembly (TU) [M3-11]
The main brake assembly (TU) not only applies the brakes on the take-up reel disk depending on the
mechanism mode but also does the same on the supply reel disk by driving the main brake assembly
(SUP)/sub brake assembly (SUP).
The main brake assembly (TU) is connected with the control plate by its trace pin that is set in the control
groove on the control plate (see Fig. 5-3-20 that shows the control plate as viewed from the upper side of
the mechanism chassis).
Since movement of the trace pin of the main brake assembly (TU) is controlled by the varied shape of the
control groove on the control plate, the main brake assembly puts the brake on the take-up reel disk and
supply reel disk depending on the mechanism mode.

7) Sub brake (TU) assembly [M3-106]
The sub brake (TU) assembly applies the brakes on the take-up reel disk depending on the mechanism
mode.
The sub brake (TU) assembly is connected with the control plate by its trace pin that is set in the control
groove on the control plate (see Fig. 5-3-21 that shows the control plate as viewed from the upper side of
the mechanism chassis).
Since movement of the trace pin of the sub brake (TU) assembly is controlled by the varied shape of the
control groove on the control plate, the sub brake assembly puts the brake on the take-up reel disk
depending on the mechanism mode.

1) Capstan motor [M3-16]
The capstan motor drives the supply reel disk and take-up reel disk through the clutch unit and idler arm
assembly as shown in Fig. 5-3-22.
Operation of the capstan motor is controlled by the SYSCON CPU depending on the mechanism mode.
2) Clutch unit [M3-66]
The clutch unit functions to adjust the driving force of the capstan motor while transmitting it to the idler
arm assembly.
Since operation of the clutch unit is controlled by the direct gear depending on the mechanism mode, it
transmits the driving force of the capstan motor to the supply reel disk or take-up reel disk without
attenuation of the driving force in the FF/REV mode. In the other modes the clutch unit transmits the
driving force of the capstan motor to the idler arm assembly after it attenuates the driving force to a degree
that the cassette tape and the tape transport system are not burdened with it.
3) Idler arm assembly [M3-102]
The idler arm assembly functions to transmit the driving force of the capstan motor to the supply reel disk
or take-up reel disk.
On the other hand, the idler arm assembly functions to cut off the driving force of the capstan motor not to
be transmitted to the supply reel disk or take-up reel disk in some mechanism modes, because operation
of the idler arm assembly is controlled by the idler lever depending on the mechanism mode.
