DCR600

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity. 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. 4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices. 5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices. 6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.) 7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. CAUTION : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions. 8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing. Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks :

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the unit. 2. Be sure that any protective devices such as nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpapers, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical insulators, etc. Which were removed for the servicing are properly re-installed. 3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists ; check for leakage current using Simpson Model 229 Leakage Tester, standard equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use alternate method as follows : Plug the power cord directly Into a 120 volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a 1500 ohms, 10watt Resistor paralleled by a 0.15uF capacitor, in series with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. (See diagram) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal, cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. (This test should be performed with the 0.35 volt RMS or more is excessive and indicates a potential shock hazard which must be corrected before returning the unit to the owner.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
A. The AC plug connections should always be the last connections made when installing an A/V system. When making subsequent connections to audio source equipment or speakers, it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the possibility of sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them. B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual. C. The DCR600 offers both composite and SVideo inputs and outputs. However, either S or composite input/output connections should be used throughout the system in order for it to function properly. Do not use S-Video and composite video connections interchangeably. D. The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, any digital recorder used must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The JBL Cinema ProPack 600 remote control may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the DCR600 and DVD600. It is helpful to think of the remote as being organized into "pages," with one page for each device. Depending on which device has been selected, the buttons on that device's page will perform different functions, as listed starting on the next page. These functions may vary from the labels on the remote, and from one device to the next. Some buttons may perform no function at all for a given device. In order to go to the page for a particular device, such as the DVD600, you will need to press the Input Selector button for that device (DVD in this case), located in a grouping just below the power buttons. The remote will then function as if it were dedicated to the DVD600. If you would like to make an adjustment that affects the DCR600 receiver, such as turning the volume up or down, you must first go to the page for the DCR600 by pressing its Input Selector button. This button is labeled "Main" on the remote. The exception to this rule is that the DVD600's transport functions ­ Play, Forward and Reverse Search, Stop, Pause, and Previous and Next Chapter/Track Skip ­ may be accessed from the "Main" page, without having to jump to the DVD page.

DCR600

TROUBLESHOOTING
Processor Reset
In the rare case where the DCR600's operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system's memory or microprocessor. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit's operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. To clear the DCR600's entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit in Standby by pressing the System Power Control Button 2. Next, press and hold the Tone Mode 6 and the FM Mode Selector @ buttons for three seconds. The unit will turn on automatically and display the RESET message in the Main Information Display W. Note that once you have cleared the memory in this manner, it is necessary to reestablish all system configuration settings and tuner presets. NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes and digital input assignments, as well as the tuner presets. After a reset, the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized JBL service center. In the event that you forget the password for the DVD600, you may reset it to the factory default by following this procedure: In Standby mode, press the Search Back 5D and Skip Forward 7D buttons on the front panel simultaneously for more than 3 seconds. The Information Display W will light, and a test pattern will appear on your TV. Press Power On b to proceed.
