MD-MT877/MD-MT877C EEPROM (IC402) writing procedure
1. Procedure to replace EEPROM and write initial value of microcomputer in EEPROM
(1) Replace EEPROM. (2) Refer to the latest EEPROM data list. (3) Start the test mode. (Refer to page 12 "Entering the TEST mode".) (4) Version display (At the time of settlement of the test mode by the button operation.) [Ver. ] EEPROM version (c ~ z) Microcomputer ROM version (5) The whole LCD lights. (6) Test mode stop state. [ T E S T ] (7) Press the "BASS" button, and press 1 time the "FAST REVERSE" button. [ E E P R O M ] (8) Perform the operation to display "EEPROM SETTING MODE CHART", compare the EEPROM DATA LIST with the display, and set according to the EEPROM DATA LIST with the VOLUME+ or VOLUME­ button. (9) Set the temperature reference. (Refer to the Temperature reference setting method.) (10) Set according to the EEPROM DATA LIST. (11) Press the STOP button. [ T E S T ] (12) Press the STOP button. (13) After data is written in EEPROM, turn off power .

2. Temperature reference setting method
[1] Measurement, calculation and setting procedure (1) Set the TEST mode. (2) Start the EEPROM mode 'Temp' menu. · Button operation in order of BASS, FAST REVERSE x 1 time, PLAY, PLAY in the test mode STOP state. · 'TM$$%%' is displayed. ($$= Temperature code, %% = Temperature reference) (3) Once press FAST FORWARD, and determine the displayed microcomputer TEMP input AD value. · 'TPin##' is displayed. (## = TEMP input AD value) (4) At the ambient temperature, determine the temperature corrected value from the temperature measurement value correction table. (5) Determine the temperature reference, using the following formula. · Temperature reference = Microcomputer TEMP input AD value + Temperature corrected value. (6) Set the temperature reference value by button operation, and check whether the temperature code indication corresponds to "Temperature Code Identification Table".
