Circuit Operating Descriptions 7-13 OSD The on screen display circuit consist of a character generator decoder, video mixer, sync separator and sync gener- ator, sync detector circuit. The data is decoded and generates characters in syncro with composite video signal applied pin 49, 50. Also the sync detector circuit discriminates the presence of a video signal by detecting sync, if no sync is detected, a blue screen is displayed.
8. VCR Deck Operating Description 8-1 Features of Mechanism The following items describe features of the mechanism in VCR. (1) This VCR uses 3-motor system consisted of a cylinder motor, capstan motor, and loading motor. A capstan motor is used to drive the reel and the driving force is transmitted throuch the belt capstan. The cassette loading, tape loading, and mode shift operation are performed by the loading motor.

VCR Deck Operating Description 8-3 Main Mechanism and Functions 8-3-1 Tape Path System The tape come out from the supply reel (S) of the video cassette runs through paths shown in Figs. 8-2 and 8-3, and is taken up by the take-up (T) reel. (S stands for the supply reel, and T for the take-up reel, hereafter.) At S reel side (tape enterance side of the cylinder) against the cylinder, a tension post to allow the tape surface to contact with each head with a proper tension which assures stable running, an FE head which erases entire data of the tape, and an S guide roller which restricts tape motion in upward/downward direction are provided.

VCR Deck Operating Description 8-3-2 Reel Drive System The reel drive system consists of a capstan motor as a drive power source, belt as a power transmission mecha- nism, clutch mechanism, idle gears, and a reel disc. Selecting of forward rotation or reverse rotation is carried out by an idle gear which changes its rotating direction according to rotating direction of the clutch holder.

VCR Deck Operating Description 8-4 Basis of the Mechanism 8-4-1 Front Loading Cassette IN (1) When a video cassette is inserted into the cassette Start Sensor OFF holder and pushed furthermore, FL arm lever is rotated by motion of the cassette holder. The rotation Microcomputer of FL arm lever makes the horizontal moving of FL drive slider.

VCR Deck Operating Description 8-4-2 Cassette loading/unloading Modes When a cassette is entered in the VCR, the cassette is set on the reel disc by the front loading mechanism. In this case, the tension post, loading tape guide, capstan motor, and the No.9 guide are positioned inside of the tape in the cassette case.
Page 154
VCR Deck Operating Description 8-4-3 Tape Loading A full loading system is employed. In the full loading system, the tape loading starts at the same time when the cassette loading operation has com- pleted and cassette has been mounted, and the tape is pulled out, wrapped around the cylinder and the mecha- nism enters the stop status under this condition.
Page 155
VCR Deck Operating Description 8-4-5 FF/REW Modes The reels enter a free status by rotating the loading motor to go to FF/REW position. In this case, the capstan motor rotates in colck-wise direction in the REW mode. The idle gear is swung rightward or leftward according to the rotating direction of the capstan motor.
Page 156
VCR Deck Operating Description 8-4-6 Record/Playback Modes When the record or playback button is pressed, the tape is fed by the rotation of the capstan motor. In this case, a tension post touches the tape and braking froces created by the band brake linked with the tension post is applied to the S reel, thereby stabilizing the tape tension.
VCR Deck Operating Description 8-5 System Control In the VCR, complex mechanism, video, audio, servo circuits, etc. must be operated in specified timings matched each other. The system control circuit performs entire controls for the VCR. An automatic stop function is also provided to protect important tape if a trouble occurs on the complex mecha- nism and the electrical circuits.

VCR Deck Operating Description (1) There are two STOP modes and two FF/REW modes. 1) STOP 1 This mode is performed when PB and FF/REW is not done for 5 miniute at power on. The small load is given to S REEL DISC and T REEL DISC. And the cylinder motor is stopped. 2) STOP 2 This mode is performed when you press the stop button as performing FF/REW.

VCR Deck Operating Description 8-6-2 Mode Sensor Drive The mode sensor converts each mode of the mechanism into an electrical signal and transmits it to the microcom- puter. The FL cam gear is rotated by the loading motor, and the cam slider slides after operation of the cassette holder.
Page 165
VCR Deck Operating Description 8-6-3 Operations in Each Mode [1] Cassette loading & Tape loading mode <Cassette loading> (1) The FL cam gear is in the Cassette unloading (position I)position, and the cassette holder is in the out status (start sensor ON). Under this condition, each motor is stopped. (2) Status of the mechanism is as follows.
Page 166
VCR Deck Operating Description <Tape loading> (1) After slot-in operation (cassette loading), FL cam gear rotates and the cam slider starts shifting, and a loading gear is ready to start. Under this condition, the mechanism status is as follows : 1) The T main brake actuates so that tape does not com out from the T reel during the loading operation.
Page 167
VCR Deck Operating Description <Playback Stand-by (Stop) mode> (1) The tape loading operation completes and the loading motor stops. (2) In the same way as in the playback mode, the capstan motor rotates in forward direction and the T reel disc takes up the tape.
Page 168
VCR Deck Operating Description [3] Stop mode (1) The cam slider is in the stop mode (position V) and each motor stops. (2) The mechanism status is as follows : 1) The S, T guide rollers are in the loading status. 2) The pinch roller is kept away from the capstan.
