Camcorder Service Manual
Does anyone know where I coud find a service manual (like a shop manual) for any modern 3-ccd camcorder? I'm finding manufacturers and shops to be a little twitchy about selling them to non-authorized repair facilities.
Thanks! |

Preferrably Panasonic, but any will do. I just need a good detailed overview of what the guts look like, how they physically interconnect and how they break down.

I doubt you'll find much online (for free) other than a user manual.
If you just want to see the guts then checkout my post on 3CCD innards. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...threadid=18495 and see also.. http://service-manuals.net/ I found this service manual but I'm not sure what type of cam it is other than a 1/2" CCD B&W. (PDF format) http://www.hitachi-denshi-uk.com/ind...l_complete.pdf This one is 3CCD but industrial (PDF format) http://www.hitachi-service.net/HV-D30/HV-D30.htm |

Thanks Tommy, that first link is a great resource. It's amazing that a few members are able to identify a RISC processor from those views.
Is anyone out here that is either a service technician or has access to these manuals? if so, I'd be interested in buying one, particularly for the Panasonic DVX100 or GS100K, if specifics are available. |

It might be worth a try to go to a local mom and pop vcr/tv repair shop and see if they can order a manual for you for a small fee. In the past I had a camera worked on at one of these places and was able to buy the manual through the shop.

I should do that. I went to my "official" panasonic repair shop and their response was "Ah, no."
I'm sure there are other shops around. |

Ouch, Sony wants $63.50 for the DCR-VX1000 service manual.
The item number is 997381411. Price is USD63.50, plus shipping and local taxes. You may place your order using the link below or call (USA)1-800-488-7669 http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/index.jsp |

Tommy,
I looked at that link and typed in DCR-VX1000 for the model search, and found no service manual. From the link you supplied, how should I be looking? Thanks! |

Search with the part # 997381411 on the top right hand side of the link. Just make sure to click the line below that says Part # instead of Model # before you click search.
You also might want to give the 1-800 # a try as it appears the service manuals are not found by during a search for a particular cam and they might have newer 3CCD cams (VX2100 - PDX10). |
