SECTION 1
DISASSEMBLY
1.1 SERVICE CAUTIONS
1.1.1
Precautions
1. Before disassembling/re-assembling the set as well as
soldering parts, make sure to disconnect the power
cable.
2. When disconnecting/connecting connectors, pay enough
attention to wiring not to damage it.
3. In general, chip parts such as resistor, shorting jumpers
(0-ohm resistor), ceramic capacitors, diodes, etc. can not
be reused after they were once removed.
4. When installing parts, be careful not to do with other parts
as well as not to damage others.
5. When removing ICs, be careful not to damage circuit
patterns.
6. Tighten screws properly during the procedures. Unless
specified otherwise, tighten screws at torque of 0.196 N·m
(2.0 kgf·cm).

1,2. Alignment tape
To be used for check and adjustment of interchangeability
of the mechanism.
(Video: Color bar signal, Audio: Non-signal)
3. Torque driver
Be sure to use to fastening the mechanism and exterior
parts because those parts must strictly be controlled for
tightening torque.
4. Bit
This bit is slightly longer than those set in conventional
torque drivers.
5. INF adjustment lens
To be used for adjustment of the camera system.
6. Conn. ring
The connector ring to attach the INF. lens to the head of
the OP lens.
7. Color bar chart
To be used for adjustment of the camera system.
8. Gray scale chart
To be used for adjustment of the camera system.
9. INF lens holder
To be used together with the camera stand (11) for
operating the VideoMovie in the stripped-down condition
such as the status without the exterior parts or for using
commodities that are not yet conformable to the
interchangeable ring.
10. Light box
To be used for adjustment of the camera system.
11. Camera stand
To be used together with the INF adjustment lens holder.
12. Extention connector
To be used to JIG connector cable
13. JIG connector cable
Connected to CN25 of the main board and used for
measuring error rates, etc.
14. Service support software
To be used for adjustment with a personal computer.
15. PC cable
To be used to connect the VideoMovie and a personal
computer with each other when a personal computer is
used for adjustment.
16. Cleaning cloth
Recommended cleaning cloth to wipe down the video
heads, mechanism (tape transport system), optical lens
surface.

net parts and board assembly in order to gain access to
item(s) to be serviced. When reassembling, perform the
step(s) in reverse order. Bend, route and dress the flat ca-
bles as they were originally.
