SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAYMechanism Mode Display/ Head Output Drop Warning Display/Cylinder Rotation AccumulatedTime DisplayThis unit displays the diagnosis contents of abnormalities and the mechanism, mode on its display panel in 2-digit numbers.When the head playback output has dropped, the “L” sign will be blinked. Some models (listed later) will also display the cylinderrotation accumulated time.These display shows the outline of the problems. Use it as a reference when servicing the unit.1. Self-Diagnosis Contentes and Mechanism Mode Display.lllWhen the STOP button on the remote control is pressed for about 10 seconds continuously, the self-diagnosis number will bedisplayed on the reception channel display of the display panel and number indicating the failed mechanism mode (changed modewhen being shifted) on the tape counter “seconds” display for 10 seconds each.During self-diagnosis display, displays other than the diagnosis numberlmechanism mode number and the cylinder accumulatedrotation time display described later (some models only) will be turned off and when displays end, the normal display will bereturned automatically.Refer to “Self-Diagnosis Contents” for the self-diagnosis numbers and the “Mechanism Mode Display Contents” for themechanism mode numbers.When the “O” button on the remote control unit is pressed during display, and clearing the self-diagnosis display and mechanismmode display.Display panelI 1-Self-Diagnosis number Mechanism mode number(Reception channel display) (Tape counter “Seconds” display)Self-Diagnosis ContentsNo. Problem Main Possible Cause Mechanism Operations andState After Occurrence00 There is no abnormality in the mechanism.The cylinder motor does not rotate. l The cylinder motor is faulty.
