2. Previous Preparation for Deck Adjustment
(Preparation to load the VCR (VCP) with cassette tape not inserted)
1) Take the power cord from the consent.
2) Separate the top cover and the plate assembly top.
3) Insert the power cord into again.
4) Turn the VCR (VCP) on and load the cassette while push-
ing the lever stopper of the holder assembly CST back-
ward. In this case, clog both holes on the housing
rail part of chassis to prevent detection of the end sensor.
If doing so, proceeding to the stop mode is done. In this
status, input signals of all modes can be received.
However, operation of the Rewind and the Review is
impossible since the take-up reel remains at stop status
and so cannot detect the reel pulse (however, possible for
several seconds).

3. Torque Measuring
Purpose of Measuring : To measure and check the reel torque on the take-up part and the
supply part that performs basic operation of the VCR (VCP) for
smoothly forwarding the tape.
Measure and check followings when the tape is not smoothly
wound or the tape velocity is abnormally proceeded:

PROTECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CHECK OF VIDEO FUNCTION
2. Essential Check and Repair
Recording density of the video is far higher than the audio.
Therefore video parts are very precise so as to allow only
error of 1/1000mm or so in order to maintain compatibility
with other videos.
If one of these parts is polluted or old, same phenomena will
appear as they are damaged.
To maintain clear screen, regular check, replacement of old
and damaged parts and oil supply, etc are essential.
3. Regular Check and Repair
Check and repair schedule is not constant since they vary
depending on method that the consumer uses video and
environment where the video is installed at.
However, for the video used by common household, good
screen will be maintained if regular check and repair per
1,000 hour is performed. The following chart shows relation-
ship between using time and checking time:

with the cleaning tape due to severe dirty of the head.
Soak the cleaning patch in alcohol and put it to the head
tip. Smoothly turn the drum (turning cylinder) to the right
or left (In this case, the cleaning patch must not be
moved vertically).
(1) After completely drying the head, test the traveling status
of the tape.
