  • Page 3: What's New

    1. What’s New? Chapter 1 - What’s New? The popular fifth generation Sony DVD players introduced for the years 2001 and 2002 are physically and electrically different from previous generation players; they have greater appeal and are lower in cost.
  • Page 4: Features

    Other features on some models are: multi-format SACD music CD PB (audio); and high resolution 480p progressive video output. Table 1-1 shows some of the features of the Fifth Generation models. Table 1-1 - Sony’s Popular Fifth Generation DVD Players Model Number Intro...
  • Page 5: Dual Laser Optical Block

    1. What’s New? Dual Laser Optical Block Disc Playback Characteristics All fifth generation DVD models, (except basic model DVP-NS300) can play back computer made –R or +RW discs. Computer made (burned) –R or +RW discs have different characteristics than machine stamped counterparts and stamped CDs have different characteristics than DVDs.
  • Page 6 1. What’s New? Disc Warp Correction Because of the finer DVD pitch, the laser must be perpendicular to the disc for maximum RF output from the optical block. Figure 1-3 illustrates the differences between old servo tilt mechanism system (A) and the new DTC system (B) that keeps the laser beam perpendicular.
  • Page 7: Disc Identification

    1. What’s New? In fifth generation DVD players, an ingenious Dynamic Tilt Correction (DTC) system replaces the tilt servo. Warped disc readability is achieved by tilting the lens during focus correction. The greater the focus correction, the more the tilt. The DTC concept and mechanics are as follows: The DVD disc information layer is at a height determined by the spindle motor hub.

    1. What’s New? Figure 1-5 also shows that the laser takes the least time to find a DVD disc (Figure 1-5, B, C, or D). If a second focal point is also found, the disc is either a dual layer DVD (Figure 1-5 C) or SACD (Figure 1-5 D). DISC IDENTIFICATION Disc Type INFO LAYER...

    1. What’s New? 2. Dual layer - Two layers with twice the playing time / information as a single layer. 3. Hybrid layer – Contains one HD layer and a standard CD layer so it can be played on any standard CD player too.
  • Page 10: Video Noise Reduction

    1. What’s New? Video Noise Reduction Block Noise Reduction (BNR) BNR reduces dissimilarities (noise) at the edges of blocks (Figure 1-8). Block Noise Reduction The Block Noise Reduction reduces noise at vertical rising (block) edges caused by the MPEG format. The picture looks more smother and more natural.

    3. Power Supply Chapter 3 - Power Supply Power Supply The 5 Generation power supplies have the following features: • No STANDBY circuit (Hard wire ON / OFF switch SW101). • Simple MAIN POWER SUPPLY circuit. Q101 = switching osc. Q102 / PC101 / IC301 = feedback. •...
  • Page 15 3. Power Supply Keep in mind that SW101 is a “hard off” switch. With the switch OFF, the unit will not turn ON with the remote. Soft ON/OFF(standby) is controlled by the P-CONT line and Q712: it controls +11V via Q211, +5V via Q311, and SW+3.3V via Q611.

    3. Power Supply Plug-In Communications Figure 3-6 shows the general sequence of IC communications during Plug-in time. System controller IC104 communicates with Flash Memory to retrieve the Instructions / programs. In the event the communication with the Flash Memory is not accomplished, System control will inform Interface IC 404 to switch the power to standby mode.

    5. Testing Chapter 5 - Testing RF, Focus-Tracking Servo, Optical Assembly The service or test mode permits us to repeat a signal so we can see it on the scope and verify its operation. In the first test, a YEDS-18 CD test disc was used to check focus and optical assembly detectors by looking at the PI and FE signals.

In-limit Sensor: If a In-Limit sensor is defective, IC302 will cause the System Controller to shut off power. Also, check the “INLIM” sensor signal to ARP. If there is no change in the voltage at Pin 166 of ARP (IC302), check the “INLIM”...
  • Page 33 6. Troubleshooting Emitter current I is calculated as: I =V/R . Since in our example R consists of two parallel resistors, the equation becomes I =V/(1/(1/R207)+(1/R208)). In our example V=0.9V and the emitter resistors are both 33 ohms, so the calculation becomes I =0.9/(1/(1/33)+(1/33)) = 0.9/(1/(0.030)+(0.030) = 0.9/16.6 = 0.054A or 56mA.

    7. Service / Test Mode Chapter 7 - Service / Test Mode Service mode testing consists of the following: 1. Initial Communications 2. Entering the Test Mode 3. Contents of the Test Mode Initial Communications Initial communications must occur before the unit remains ON and the test mode can be accessed. Therefore, if the unit does not power up, you must confirm the communications between a pair of ICs.

    8. Mechanical Operation Chapter 8 - Mechanical Operation The model DAV-C770 / C990 is an AM/FM 5.1 channel receiver with a 5 disc CD/DVD player. The CD/DVD service information is found in the core HCD-C770 / C990 service manual. The core manual does not have part numbers for the AM antenna, speakers and remote (1-477-332-11).

    8. Mechanical Operation 1. Remove the top cover, unplug black connector CN807 (power ON to micro) and lay the top panel on the side. Do not shear or disconnect the white ribbon connector (CN814 to CN005). 2. Plug the unit into AC and press the power ON button. The unit will not power ON until the micro receives the power ON via CN807.

    8. Mechanical Operation Stacker Disc Storage If another disc is selected for PB, the mechanism will release the clamped disc and store it into the rear stacker compartment before extracting the second disc. The clamping motor reverses to release the disc into the rollers and engage the rear stacker rollers.

  • Page 43 8. Mechanical Operation Clamping Motor Rotary Encoder 2 Alignment Concept: Rotary encoder 2 (S701) sets the clamping motor limits. Since these gears also control the rear disc rollers, an encoder 2 misalignment can cause the disc not to travel to the rear stacker or grab the disc during PB (no spinning).
