VCR schematics
Many if not all vcr's reference can be traced to the 3.58mhz color burst
crystal. The vertical frequency divides down nicely to very near 30 hz which just happens to be the drum and control pulse frequency. That the 3.58 is critical can be demonstrated by the fact that most vcr's up until very recently wouldn't even turn the drum if the crystal was bad. I do think newer vcr's with their improved chips etc, do it a bit differently - at least that's what I've been told - but I don't troubleshoot too many $39.00 vcr's for drum servo problems, if you get what I mean. :-) Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless. wrote in message om... Dear Members: Where can I get (free I hope) a schematic for any VCR model? Specifically I need a schematic of the motor control circuit that keeps the main DC servo motor running at a constant speed....that think they are referenced to a 30 HZ signal. And, could anyone tell me if the reference is crystal controlled????? Best to all, Steven |

For record, the reference must be the incoming video sync. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Home Page: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Site Info: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header is ignored.
