SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for users which are displayed automatically when errors occur, and error codes which show the error history in the test mode during servicing. For details on how to view error codes for users, refer to the following box in the instruction manual.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT TABLE OF CONTENTS After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow- 1. SERVICING NOTE ............6 ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, 2. GENERAL ................
SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE BD BOARD WAVEFORM CHECK TOOL Use the jig (J-2501-124-A or J-2501-149-A) to facilitate the checking of the waveform of the BD board. The names and check items of each terminal are as follows. I+3V : For measuring the IOP (check if the optical pick-up laser has weakened) IOP : For measuring IOP (check if the optical pick-up laser has weakened) TEO : TRK error signal (traverse adjustment) : Reference level for checking signals...

Reading the Display: Convert the hexadecimal display into the binary display. If more than two causes, they will be added. Example When 44 is displayed: Upper bit : 4=0100 n b6 Lower bit : 4=0010 n b2 In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CVL unlock” and “ader5”. When A4 is displayed: Upper bit : A=1010 n b7+b5 Lower bit : 4=0010 n b2...
