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
= ~ + knob and p button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the = ~ + knob
and p button.
2. Turn the
= ~ + knob and when "[Service]" is displayed, press the [YES] button.
3. Turn the
= ~ + 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
= ~ + knob.
6. Press the
= ~ + knob to display or execute the contents selected.
7. Press the
= ~ + knob another time returns to step 4.
8. Press the [MENU/NO] button to display "ERROR DP MODE" and exits the error history mode.
9. To exit the test mode, press the [REPEAT] button. The unit sets into the STANDBY state, the disc is ejected, and the test mode ends.

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
= ~ +
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
= ~ + 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 pickup.
If the optical pickup has been replaced, perform this operation and erase the history.
After pressing the
= ~ + 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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety check 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 TEST
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" indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suit-
able. (See Fig. A)
