Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
1. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Handling Precautions
The HDD is a precision device for use in reading and writing a large amount of data on or from a disk rotating at
a high speed. If it is not handled carefully, either abnormal operation may result or it may not be possible to read
data. The HDD is sensitive to the following items and special care is required in safeguarding against them when
handling an HDD. Also take care in handling a set incorporating an HDD.
1. Vibrations and impacts
2. Static electricity
3. Rough handling
1.1
Handling in transport, etc.
s Be sure to place the HDD in the manufacturer's specified package
carton before transport.
s When receiving a package containing an HDD, check that the pack-
age carton is not damaged (such as having holes in the carton,
crushed corners, etc.).
s Do not impact the packaging carton when loading or unloading it.
s It is not permitted to use the inner package carton only for transport-
ing an HDD.
s Do not stack package cartons one upon another.
1.2
Handling an HDD in the stand-alone status
s When handling an HDD on a hard workbench, place an antistatic
mat (rubber sheet) or similar object on the hard surface (to prevent
any impacts occurring between the HDD and bench).
s Do not stack the HDDs one upon another.
s Do not knock an HDD with a hard object (such as a screwdriver).
s Do not place an HDD on its side panel without using a support (do
not place an HDD in an unstable position).
1.3
Handling the installation of an HDD
s Place antistatic mats or similar sheets on all of the surfaces on which work is conducted or when the HDD
is transported.
s Do not permit the HDD to knock against the set's brackets.
s When screwing the brackets, be careful not to knock the HDD. When using a power screwdriver, use a low-
shock model and arrange the tightening torque properly.
s When mounting an HDD in a computer, take care not to apply excessive force to the brackets.
HDD
Do not throw or
drop packages.
Be sure to package and
transport the HDDs correctly.

2. In Case of an HDD Failure
When a computer AC cord is plugged into a power outlet, the boot loader is read from the IC8204 (8M FLASH
ROM), which activates the HDD and reads the system files in the HDD before getting ready for operation. In
consequence, the computer cannot be turned on if the HDD fails.
In case a failure of the HDD is in doubt, use the following procedure to switch the main power of the set ON using
the VHS section alone, by bypassing the HDD operation check.
(1) With the computer in the remote control standby status, trans-
mit code 7b from the remote jig for more than 2 seconds.
(2) The BS digital reservation button on the computer blinks, indi-
cating that the power supply can be switched ON.
(3) When the code 7B is transmitted again from the remote jig,
the button stops blinking and its function is canceled.

Important Safety Precautions
Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the
countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions
when a set is being serviced.
Fig.1
1. Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels and in-
scriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the product.
When performing service, be sure to read and comply with these
and other cautionary notices appearing in the operation and serv-
ice manuals.
2. Parts identified by the
! symbol and shaded (
) parts are
critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.
Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to com-
ply with X-ray emission standards for products using
cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance
with various regulations regarding spurious radiation
emission.
3. Fuse replacement caution notice.
Caution for continued protection against fire hazard.
Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified.
4. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
5. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts. Note
especially:
1) Insulation Tape
3) Spacers
5) Barrier
2) PVC tubing
4) Insulation sheets for transistors
6. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers, power
cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of wires securely
about the terminals before soldering.
Power cord
Fig.2
10. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.
11. Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs)
In regard to such products, the cathode ray tubes themselves, the
high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for compli-
ance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.
Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cath-
ode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts. Under
no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.
Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value and
cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.
12. Crimp type wire connector
In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power trans-
former primary lead wires are performed using crimp type connec-
tors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order to prevent
safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely according to the
following steps.
1) Connector part number : E03830-001
2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type which
will not damage insulated parts.
3) Replacement procedure
(1) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a point
close to the connector.
Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).
Fig.7
cut close to connector
Fig.3
(2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of the
wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to avoid
frayed conductors.
15 mm
Fig.4
(3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the
wires fully into the connector.

(4) As shown in Fig.6, use the crimping tool to crimp the metal
sleeve at the center position. Be sure to crimp fully to the
complete closure of the tool.
I
·Precautions during Servicing
7. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts (heatsinks,
oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.)
8. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or pointed
parts.
9. When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15 kg of
force in any direction will not loosen it.
