JVC HM-DH5U D-Theater VCR Restoration (Part 2) - Mechanism Overhaul (2nd half is audio explanation)

On this next installment of looking at the DH5U (these recordings were done back in March, but now I'm getting back to editing the footage), I take the mechanism out to remove the old grease causing the loading motor to intermittently stall, as well as replace the old capstan belt to restore operation of the high-speed modes.
Heads up, there is no video footage of myself taking the loading motor out and doing the re-greasing; I realized that I had no idea how to do it properly, so all of that was done off-screen so that I could take my time to figure out how to properly dissemble/reassemble the loading motor assembly. I give an audio explanation of how to remove the loading motor out so that it can be serviced.

Part 3? Does the machine work? I have 1 and the audio is messed up. The hdmi audio doesn’t work and the analog audio sounds horrendous. Anything that can be done?

Hi, yes, the machine ended up working nicely; it's now in the home theater as my main player for the format. For a third part, I was going to wait until I bring it back in the shop to recap the digital board; it works very well with what's there now, but it is just preventative maintenance since the SMT caps can and will go bad. Does the HDMI audio not work for both D-VHS and VHS tapes? I know that bad VHS audio on playback through HDMI is a sign that the capacitors on the digital board are in need of replacing.
