What is error 14

SOURCE: sony uvw 1600 betacam sp does not power up

Check the power supply area for the fuses for one. Second, the power supplies in these units are switch mode supplies that require a jump start from a small cap. It is possible that the "starter cap" is defective. There are other reasons for this type of behavior as well. Keep us posted on what you find.

Hi,
It seems mechanical problem and you need to apart unit.
I would advice you to get Maintenance Manual of BVW-75 before to open unit and get help from mechanical exploded section.
Below is picture of Maintenance Manual and part of mechanical exploded view...








It is high end broadcast model and needs care in maintenance.
Good Luck.

BVW-75 error 09 is "threading motor time out". Look for something obstructing the travel of the threading ring inside the deck (the ring which pulls the tape around the video head).

The probem as told on another site (sorry, can't remember to give proper credit) is that the pinch roller is not making contact with the capstan. THis is exacly what happened to my 1800 after sitting for a long time with no use. THe solution was to manually excersize the lever going to the solenoid to unstick the mechanism. Then, voila, pinch roller pinches, tape moves, UVW1800 happy again.
