36Error MessagesWhen a problem has occurred in the unit, one of thefollowing messages will appear on the front panel’scounter display and superimposed display on themonitor.With the superimposed display, the error number isindicated in the part where the counter value isdisplayed.When “T&S&M” has been selected as the setup menuitem No.006 setting, the error message appears in thepart of the superimposed display where the mode isdisplayed.Error No. Error message and description– – d – –DEWCondensation has formed.The unit can still be operated if “ON” has beenselected as the setup menu item No.152 (HUMIDOPE) setting. The counter value and “– – d – – ” appearalternately on the front panel counter display.E – 00SERVO NOT LOCKEDThis appears when the servo lock has beendisengaged for 3 or more seconds during playback orrecording.E – 01LOW RFThis appears when the head output is not supplied(due to head clogging, etc.) for 1 or more secondsduring playback.E – 02HIGH ERROR RATEThis appears when the error rate has deteriorated,and the video or audio playback signals have beencorrected or interpolated.E – 09NO RFThis appears when a tape blank has been detectedfor 1 or more seconds during playback.A state in which all of the following conditions aresatisfied is recognized as a blank.ONo output from any of the heads.OPlayback data cannot be read.ONo CTL signal.E – 10FAN STOPThis appears when the fan motor has stopped.The power is automatically turned off when 5 or sominutes have elapsed since the motor stopped.E – 29FRONT LOAD MOTORThis appears when the cassette fails to rise evenwhen 6 seconds have elapsed after the unit wastransferred to the eject mode.E – 31LOADING MOTORThis appears when the unloading operation fails to becompleted within 6 seconds.E – 51FRONT LOAD ERRORThis appears when the take-up reel has continued torotate without engaging with the tape for a specificperiod of time during the start or end processingoperation performed midway through loading (halfposition).E – 52W-UP REEL NOT ROTAThis appears when the take-up reel fails to take up thetape while the tape is traveling in a state where itstotal tape length has not been detected after thecassette was inserted.E – 53WINDUP ERRORThis appears when there is an abnormal differencebetween the tape take-up amount on the take-up reeland the amount of tape supplied from the supply reelwhile the tape is traveling after the total tape lengthwas detected.E – 55UNLOAD ERRORThis appears when the tape has not been taken upduring unloading.E – 57S-FF/REW TIMEOVERThis appears when the tape start or end processingoperation fails to be completed.E – 59DRUM ROTA TOO SLOWThis appears when the rotational speed of the cylindermotor is abnormally low.E – 60DRUM ROTA TOO FASTThis appears when the rotational speed of the cylindermotor is abnormally high.E – 61CAP ROTA TOO SLOWThis appears when the rotational speed of the capstanmotor is abnormally low.E – 64S REEL TOO FASTThis appears when the rotational speed of the supplyreel motor is abnormally high.E – 67T REEL TOO FASTThis appears when the rotational speed of the take-upreel motor is abnormally high.E – 69T REEL TORQUE ERRThis appears when the application of an abnormaltorque has been detected at the take-up reel motor.E – 6AThis error number appears on the front panel counterdisplay when a communication error has occurredbetween the IF and FRONT microcomputers. Thesuperimposed display itself is cleared from themonitor screen.E – 6BFRP ERRORThis appears when an error has occurred in themicrocomputer reference signal.E – 70S REEL TORQUE ERRThis appears when the application of an abnormaltorque has been detected at the supply reel motor.E – 71CAP TENSION ERRORThis appears when abnormal supply reel tension hasbeen detected in the capstan mode.E – 72REEL TENSION ERRORThis appears when abnormal supply reel tension hasbeen detected in the reel mode.E – 73REEL DIR UNMATCHThis appears when the take-up reel motor is rotated inthe wrong direction.E – bABATTERYThis appears when the input DC voltage has droppedbelow the lower voltage limit (approx. 10.6 V).Error No. Error message and description
