This test mode performs CREC and CPLAY automatically for mainly checking the characteristics of the optical pick-up.
To perform this test mode, the laser power must first be checked.
Perform AUTO CHECK after the laser power check and Iop Compare.

Procedure:
1.

Press the

. “R”

or

> “R”

button to display “AUTO CHECK” (C01).

2.

Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button. If “LDPWR 

 ” is displayed, it means that the laser power check has not been performed.

In this case, perform the laser power check and Iop Compare, and then repeat from enter the MD test mode.

3.

If a disc is in the mechanical deck, it will be ejected forcibly.
“DISC IN” will be displayed in this case. Load a test disc (MDW-74/GA-1) which can be recorded.

4.

If a disc is loaded at step 3, the check will start automatically.

5.

When “XX CHECK” is displayed, the item corresponding to XX will be performed.
When “06 CHECK” completes, the disc loaded at step 3 will be ejected. “DISC IN” will be displayed. Load the check disc (TDYS-1).

6.

When the disc is loaded in step 5, the check will automatically be resumed from “07 CHECK”.

7.

After completing to “0C CHECK” of test item 12, check OK or NG will be displayed. If all items are OK, “CHK ALL OK” will be
displayed. If any item is NG, it will be displayed as “NG:xxxx”.

When “CHK ALL OK” is displayed, it means that the optical pick-up is normal. Check the operations of other parts (spindle motor, sled
motor, etc.).
When displayed as “NG:xxxx”, it means that the optical pick-up is faulty. In this case, replace the optical pick-up.

Display the software version.

Procedure:
1.

Press the

. “R”

or

> “R”

button to display “INFORMATION” (C31).

2. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

3. The software version will be displayed.
4. Press the

MENU/NO “R”

button to end this mode.

The IOP value labeled on the optical pick-up can be recorded in the non-volatile memory. By recording the value, it will eliminate the need

to look at the value on the label of the optical pick-up. When replacing the optical pick-up or non-volatile memory (IC195 of BD (MD)
board), record the IOP value on the optical pick-up according to the following procedure.

Record Procedure:
1. Press the

?

/

1

button to turn the power on.

2. Press the 

[FUNCTION]

 button to set the MD function.

3. Press three buttons of  

x

  (MD),  

m

  (TAPE) and

 simultaneously to enter the MD test mode and display “[Check]”.

4. Press the

. “R”

or

> “R”

button to display “[Service]”.

5. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button to display “AUTO CHECK”, and press the

> “R”

button to display “Iop Write”.

6. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

7. The display becomes “Ref= @@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number) and the numbers which can be changed will blink.
8. Input the IOP value written on the optical pick-up.

To select the number

: Press the

. “R”

or

> “R”

button.

To select the digit

: Press the 

[REC MODE]

 button.

9. When the

ENTER/YES “R”

button is pressed, the display becomes “Measu=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number).

10. As the adjustment results are recorded for the step 9 value. Leave it as it is and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

11. “Complete!” will be displayed momentarily. The value will be recorded in the non-volatile memory and the display will become “Iop

Write”.

12. Press the 

[REPEAT STEREO/MONO]

 button twice to complete. “Initialize” will be displayed and release the MD test mode.

Display Precedure:
1. Press the

?

/1

button to turn the power on.

2. Press the 

[FUNCTION]

 button to set the MD function.

3. Press three buttons of  

x

  (MD),  

m

  (TAPE) and 

[SYNCHRO REC]

 simultaneously to enter the MD test mode and display “[Check]”.

4. Press the

. “R”

or

> “R”

button to display “[Service]”.

5. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button to display “AUTO CHECK”, and press the

> “R”

button to display “Iop Read”.

6. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

7. “@@.@/##.#” is displayed and the recorded contents are displayed.

@@.@ : Indicates the Iop value labeled on the pick-up.
##.#

: Indicates the Iop value after adjustment.

8. Press the 

[REPEAT STEREO/MONO]

 button twice to complete. “Initialize” will be displayed and release the MD test mode.

26

If the nonvolatile memory data is abnormal, “E001 MEMORY NG” will be displayed so that the MD deck does not continue operations. In

this case, set the test mode promptly and perform the following procedure.

Procedure:
1. Enter the MD test mode.
2. Normally a message for selecting the test mode will be displayed. However if the nonvolatile memory is abnormal, the following will be

displayed “INIT EEP?”.

3. Press the

x

(MD) and Z (MD) buttons simultaneously.

4. Press the

. “R”

or

 > “R”

button to display “MDM-7B”.

5. Press the

REC MODE

button. If the nonvolatile memory is successfully overwritten, the normal MD test mode will be set and a message

to select the MD test mode will be displayed.

Before performing repairs, perform the following checks to determine the faulty locations up to a certain extent.
Details of the procedures are described in “Section 6  Electrical Adjustments”.

• Unsatisfactory if displayed as “NG : XXXX”NG

(XXXX are arbitrary numbers)

• Unsatisfactory if displayed as “T=@@ (##) [NG]”

NG
(@@, ## are both arbitrary numbers)
