SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for customers 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 the customer, refer to the following box in the instruction manual. For details on how to check error codes during servicing, refer to the following "Procedure for using the SelfDiagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)".

Procedure for using the Self-Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode). Note: Perform the self-diagnosis function in the "error history display mode" in the test mode. The following describes the least required procedure. Be careful not to enter other modes by mistake. If you set other modes accidentally, press the p "PROGRAM" button to exit the mode. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. While pressing the INPUT button and p button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the INPUT button and p button. Press the + button and when "[Service]" is displayed, press the ^ "PROGRAM" button. Press the + button and display "ERR DP MODE". Pressing the ^ "PROGRAM" button sets the error history mode and displays "total rec". Select the contents to be displayed or executed using the + button. Pressing the r "PROGRAM" button will display or execute the contents selected. Pressing the r "PROGRAM" button another time returns to step 4. Pressing the p "PROGRAM" button displays "ERROR DP MODE" and exits the error history mode. To exit the test mode, press the 6 "1" button. The unit sets into the STANDBY state, the disc is ejected, and the test mode ends.

*Note: As this unit has only a few buttons, one button is assigned with several functions in the test mode. Press the INPUT button to switch the functions. Each time the INPUT button is pressed, the display switches in the following order; "PROGRAM" n "1" n blank n "PROGRAM" The functions of each button change with the display. For simplicity, operations of the INPUT button will not be described here. Instead, symbols are added to the names of buttons. Press the INPUT button as required to switch the display. Example) p "PROGRAM" : Display "PROGRAM" and press the p button. p "1" : Display "1" and press the p button.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below. LEAKAGE The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these instruments. 2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

5-2. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE EMISSINON
To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

5-3. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF OPTICAL PICKUP (KMS-260A)
As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when using it. Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connecting the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also take adequate measures to prevent damage by static electricity. Handle the flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

4) Use the following tools and measuring devices. · Check Disc (MD) TDYS-1 (Parts No. 4-963-646-01) · Test Disk (MDW-74/AU-1) (Parts No. 8-892-341-41) · Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Parts No. J-2501-046-A) or MD Laser power meter 8010S (Parts No. J-2501-145-A) · Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove.) · Digital voltmeter · Thermometer · Jig for checking BD board waveform (Parts No. : J-2501-149-A) 5) When observing several signals on the oscilloscope, etc., make sure that VC and ground do not connect inside the oscilloscope. (VC and ground will become short-circuited.) 6) Using the above jig enables the waveform to be checked without the need to solder. (Refer to Servicing Note on page 6.) 7) As the disc used will affect the adjustment results, make sure that no dusts nor fingerprints are attached to it. Note: When performing laser power checks and adjustment (electrical adjustment), use of the new MD laser power meter 8010S (J-2501145-A) instead of the conventional laser power meter is convenient. It sharply reduces the time and trouble to set the laser power meter sensor onto the objective lens of the optical pick-up.

5-13. ERROR RATE CHECK
5-13-1. CD Error Rate Check Checking Procedure : 1. Load a check disc (MD) TDYS-1. 2. Press the + button and display "CPLAY MODE". 3. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button twice and display "CPLAY MID". AD = ". 4. The display changes to "C1 = 5. Check that the C1 error rate is below 20. 6. Press the p "PROGRAM" button, stop playback, press the 6 (EJECT) button, and remove the test disc. 5-13-2. MO Error Rate Check Checking Procedure : 1. Load a test disc (MDW-74/AU-1). 2. Press the + button and display "CPLAY MODE". 3. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button and display "CPLAY MID". 4. The display changes to "C = AD = ". 5. If the C1 error rate is below 50, check that ADER is 00. 6. Press the p "PROGRAM" button, stop playback, press the 6 (EJECT) button, and remove the test disc.

5-15. AUTO GAIN CONTROL OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Be sure to perform this adjustment when the pickup is replaced. If the adjustment results becomes "Adjust NG!", the pickup may be faulty or the servo system circuits may be abnormal. 5-15-1. CD Auto Gain Control Output Level Adjustment Adjusting Procedure : 1. Insert the check disc (MD) TDYS-1. 2. Press the + button to display "AG Set (CD)". 3. When the ^ "PROGRAM" button is pressed, the adjustment will be performed automatically. "Complete!!" will then be displayed momentarily when the value is recorded in the non-volatile memory, after which the display changes to "AG Set (CD)". 4. Press the 6 (EJECT) button to remove the disc. 5-15-2. MO Auto Gain Control Output Level Adjustment Adjusting Procedure : 1. Insert the reference disc (MDW-74/AU-1) for recording. 2. Press the + button to display "AG Set (MO)". 3. When the ^ "PROGRAM" button is pressed, the adjustment will be performed automatically. "Complete!!" will then be displayed momentarily when the value is recorded in the non-volatile memory, after which the display changes to "AG Set (MO)". 4. Press the 6 (EJECT) button to remove the disc.

5-14. FOCUS BIAS CHECK
Change the focus bias and check the focus tolerance amount. Checking Procedure : 1. Load a test disc (MDW-74/AU-1). 2. Press the + button and display "CPLAY MODE". 3. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button twice and display "CPLAY MID". 4. Press the p "PROGRAM" button when "C1 = AD = " is displayed. 5. Press the + button and display "FBIAS CHECK". 6. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button and display " / c= ". The first four digits indicate the C1 error rate, the two digits after "/" indicate ADER, and the 2 digits after "c =" indicate the focus bias value. Check that the C1 error is below 50 and ADER is below 2. 7. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button and display " / b= ". Check that the C1 error is below 220 and ADER is below 2. / a= 8. Press the ^ "PROGRAM" button and display " ". Check that the C1 error is below 220 and ADER is below 2 9. Press the p "PROGRAM" button, next press the 6 (EJECT) button, and remove the continuously recorded disc. Note 1 : If the C1 error and ADER are above other than the specified value at points a (step 8. in the above) or b (step 7. in the above), the focus bias adjustment may not have been carried out properly. Adjust perform the beginning again.
