8mm DE-6 chassis out-of-sync - HELP

Sep 18, 2009 8 Replies

I have a canon V-500 8mm camcorder that has gone out-of-sync. The service manual refers to "DE-6 (AD68-30200A) for the adjustment and checks of mechanism section". Not being able to find that manual, I'm asking you help in resyncing the cogs. Essentially you have to get the main cog in sync with the mode switch.. but reference points are ambiguous and I am not able to get it working.... help--help--help! Emanuele.



more detail of problem-symptom please

..the camcorder suffered problems with drum and capstan motors power supplies, problems that have been solved by some recapping. Because of this the mechanical part has gone out-of-sync. I just need some instruction or a copy of the DE-6 service manual. tks. Emanuele.

Still.. what I need is phase info for the mode switch... Emanuele.

Just a repair brief: camcorder Canon V500 (same as Samsung - SC-L600 L610 L630 L650 VP-L600 L610 L630 L650). Symptoms: not able to play anything. No FF. No REW. Cassette load drawer don't close as expected. No tapi-in action at all. Eject after a manual loading results in bad mech noise and tape loop pending out of the cassette. LCD ok. Loading motor working. Repair: Drum and Capstan motors power lines were always low (0,2V). Recapping C913 and C914 solved all problems. While you are in I would suggest additional recapping as many tantalium SMD's measured high ESR. Expecially 22uF/10V. Resync of the tape deck was possible thank to John providing me a picture of the DE-6 (AD68-30200A) service manual. bye. Emanuele.

Hello, Many years later, I would like to know whether you still have the Canon DE-6 mechanical service manual (gears alignment problem). Thank you
