Difficult to adjust focus
(Cannot initialize focus)

In case zooming is performed by the touch panel operation,
inspect the focus reset sensor (pin 

1 to 4, qk

 of CN1003 

on the  VC-590 board). 
In case zooming is not performed, inspect the focus motor  
drive circuit (IC5306 on the VC-590 board).

Zoom operations fault
(Cannot initialize zoom lens.)

Inspect the lens block zoom MR sensor (pin

 of 

CN1003 on the VC-590 board) when zooming is performed 
when the zoom lever is operated, or the zoom motor drive 
circuit (IC5306 on the VC-590 board) when zooming is not 
performed.

Battery current value goes over the 
max discharge current

Check the remaining battery power because this symptom 
maybe depended on the remaining battery level, and confirm 
whether or not the symptom is occurred after replacing the 
battery.
If the symptom is still occurred, overhaul inspection is 
needed.
Connect MS-431 board to VC-590 board via FP-1185 (VC-
MS) flexible board and connect DC/BATT harness to VC-
590 board (this is the minimum connection to periphery).
in the above state, check each output of DC/DC converter 
(IC4701).

BGM data error

Inspect the flash memory (

IC8101

 on the 

VC-590

 board). If 

it is OK, check the CPU (IC7501 on the VC-590 board).

Note:  Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and refer to the “Destination data write”.

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 V), the power is shut off 
so

 that the unit cannot operate.

These following method is available to prevent this.

Use the genuine AC power adaptor

Turn on the set and establish a USB connection , save the USB serial data before replacing the board.

When you replace to the repairing board, the written destination data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “DESTINATON DATA WRITE”.

After the board replacement, the error of the built-in recording media may be displayed.
in this case, execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE] then the error will be cleared.
If it is not cleared with [DESTINATION DATA WRITE], format the built-in recording media.

When you replace to the repairing board, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “USB SERIAL SAVE” to get the data.

The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “USB SERIAL No. INPUT”.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the LCD screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and 
numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed 
code” of the problem.
