Diagnostic Mode & Error Codes

Accessing built-in diagnostics and interpreting error displays.

Enter Diagnostic Mode: Press and hold "1" and "4" on front panel while powering on.
Display will show software version, then enter test menu.
Use remote or front buttons to navigate tests: Speaker Test, Disc Mechanism Test, Tuner Test, Input Test.
Error Codes: "Err 1" = Disc mechanism fault. "Err 2" = Memory error. "Err 3" = Temperature fault. "Err 4" = Power supply fault.
Clearing errors: Note code, power cycle. If persistent, replace indicated component.

Tip: Diagnostic mode is for service only. Exit by powering off.

Troubleshooting Flowcharts

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No power (no display)	AC cord, fuse, power supply	Check wall outlet. Check fuse F1 on power supply board. Test DC outputs. Replace power supply if no outputs.
No audio from speakers	Cables, amplifier, settings	Verify speaker cable connections. Test amplifier board outputs. Check mute circuit. Replace amplifier IC XXX if needed.
Disc not reading	Disc, laser, mechanism	Clean lens with approved cleaner. Check disc mechanism power and ribbon cable. Replace laser assembly (part # XXX) if necessary.
No video output	Cables, video encoder	Verify cable connections. Test video output pins on processor/encoder. Replace video encoder IC if faulty.
Remote not working	Batteries, RF receiver	Replace remote batteries. Check RF receiver module on main board. Replace receiver if no signal detected.

Calibration & Alignment

Procedures after component replacement.

Laser Power Adjustment: Use oscilloscope on test point TPXXX. Adjust potentiometer VRXXX for XXX mV.
Audio Output Balance: Use test tone in diagnostic mode. Adjust trimpots VR1-VR5 for equal output across channels.
Video Output Alignment: Use color bar pattern. Adjust settings in service menu (access code: 7-3-9-5) for correct chroma/luma.
Tuner Alignment: Requires RF signal generator. Align coils LXX and LXX for peak FM reception.

WARNING! Use proper test equipment. Incorrect adjustment may degrade performance.

Safety & ESD Precautions

Service safety guidelines.

Electrical Safety: Always unplug unit before servicing. Discharge capacitors in power supply before touching board.

ESD Protection: Use grounded wrist strap and anti-static mat. Store components in anti-static bags.

General Safety: Keep work area clean. Use correct tool sizes. Note warnings on chassis and boards.

CAUTION! High voltages present in power supply section even when unplugged. Allow time for discharge.

Reassembly & Testing

Final steps after repair.

Reinstall all boards and secure with screws.
Reconnect all cables, referencing photos/notes taken during disassembly.
Replace top cover and secure with rear screws.
Power on and run full diagnostic test.
Functional test: Play DVD, test all inputs, verify remote operation, check all speaker outputs.
If tests pass, unit is ready for return to customer.

Final Check: Ensure no loose screws or cables inside. Verify all functions operate normally.
