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 Self-Diagnosis 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 MENU/NO button to exit the mode.
1. While pressing the [ AMS ] knob and p button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the [ AMS ] knob
and p button.
2. Turn the [ AMS ] knob and when "[Service]" is displayed, press the [YES] button.
3. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "ERR DP MODE".
4. Press the [YES] button to sets the error history mode and displays "total rec".
5. Select the contents to be displayed or executed using the [ AMS ] knob.
6. Press the [ AMS ] knob to display or execute the contents selected.
7. Press the [ AMS ] knob another time returns to step 4.
8. Press the [MENU/NO] button to display "ERROR DP MODE" and releases the error history mode.
9. To release the test mode, press the [REPEAT] button. The unit sets into the STANDBY state, the disc is ejected, and the test mode
ends.

Error Code
Details of Error
total rec
Displays the recording time.
Displayed as "rh".
The displayed time is the total time the laser is set to the high power state.
This is about 1/4 of the actual recording time.
The time is displayed in decimal digits from 0h to 65535h.
total play
Displays the play time.
Displayed as "ph". The time displayed is the total actual play time. Pauses are not counted.
The time is displayed in decimal digits from 0h to 65535h.
retry err
Displays the total number of retries during recording and number of retry errors during play.
Displayed as "r p".
"r" indicates the retries during recording while "p" indicates the retry errors during play.
The number of retries and retry errors are displayed in hexadecimal digits from 00 to FF.
total err
Displays the total number of errors.
Displayed as "total ".
The number of errors is displayed in hexadecimal digits from 00 to FF.
err history
Displays the 10 latest errors.
Displayed as "0 E@@".
indicates the history number. The smaller the number, the more recent is the error. (00 is the latest).
@@ indicates the error code.
Refer to the following table for the details. The error history can be switched by turning the [ AMS ]
knob.
er refresh
Mode which erases the "retry err", "total err", and "err history" histories.
When returning the unit to the customer after completing repairs, perform this to erase the past error history.
After pressing the [ AMS ] button and "er refresh?" is displayed, press the [YES] button to erase the
history.
"Complete!" will be displayed momentarily.
Be sure to check the following when this mode has been executed.
· The data has been erased.
· The mechanism operates normally when recording and play are performed.
tm refresh
Mode which erases the "total rec" and "total play" histories.
These histories serve as approximate indications of when to replace the optical pick-up.
If the optical pickup has been replaced, perform this operation and erase the history.
After pressing the [ AMS ] button and "tm refresh?" is displayed, press the [YES] button to erase the
history.
"Complete!" will be displayed momentarily.
Be sure to check the following when this mode has been executed.
· The data has been erased.
· The mechanism operates normally when recording and play are performed.

ELECTRICAL PARTS LIST ............................... 69
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static break-down because of the potential difference generated
by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
· Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 °C dur-
ing repairing.
· Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
· Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
