The auto check is performed to check if the set operates stably. Though a checking is made automatically, whether the measured data are
within the specification is evaluated by the service person. The auto check results in NG immediately, if the check itself causes an error.

Setting Method of Auto Check Mode:
1. After setting the test mode, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to select “92. SET CHECK” and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

2. When “SET TEST START” is displayed, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 2 clicks to select “1. TOTAL CHECK?”

and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

3. When “10. TOTAL CHECK” is displayed, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 1 click to select “11. AUTO CHECK”

and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

Checking method:
1. Press the 

[OPEN/CLOSE]

 button to open the tray and place the test disc *1.

2. Press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial, and the following check will be performed automatically.

3. Finally, the test disc will be ejected and the auto check will finish.
4. “AUTO CHECK OK” will be displayed at successful completion of auto check.
5. Recheck is enabled if the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial is pressed in step 4. (Also, use this operation when exchanging the test disc)

6. In case of an error during the checking, the check is interrupted automatically and the error is displayed. (Error display example:

“LOAD IN ERROR”)  After error display, “CONT?STOP (J/S)” is displayed. In this case, if the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial is pressed, the

check where the error occurred is skipped and you can proceed to the next check. Also, if 

[   ]

 button is pressed, the check finishes and

“AUTO CHECK NG” is displayed when even one NG item exists.

*1 Use PATD-012 or YEDS-18 for CD, and SATD-S4 for SACD (SL). Using another disc will result in a checking failure.

Measured Data Reading Method:
To judge the check result, the measured data must be read.
1. When “AUTO CHECK OK” is displayed, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 2 clicks.

2. When “13. DISP RSLT?” is displayed, press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

3. “PLEASE WAIT” will be displayed and in several seconds, “13. DISP RESULT” will be displayed.
4. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 1 click, and the “LOAD IN” will be displayed.

5. Press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter. The LOAD IN TIME measured value will be displayed.

6. Compare the displayed value with the following specified value.
7. Hence, repeat step 4 to 6 (display is variable) and read the measured data respectively.
8. Compare the measured data with the specified value to check for NG item.

Blank display of measured value means that an error occurred during the checking or no measurement was taken place.

Specified Value:
(1) SACD (Use the test disc SATD-S4)

The stability of the set can be checked by repeating the combined
operation of focus jump (layer 0t1, layer 1t0) and access to
the most inward trackymost outward track by the set number of
times or until an error occurs using the dual layer HD disc, DL
disc.

the DL disc.

4. Press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to load the tray into the set.

start. (It takes about ten and several seconds to set up the disc
as two layers of layer 0 and layer 1 are adjusted)

6. At the completion of setup, “F.JUMP TIMES” will be

displayed.

7. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 5 clicks to display

“5”. (If 5 sets of operation is executed *1)

8. Press the

If an error occurred due to defocusing during the checking,
refer to the following error list. (69 page)

10. Press the

Then, if the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial is again pressed, “2. F.JMP

CHECK” will be displayed instantaneously and a recheck is
enabled from the step 5 in the same manner.

*1 Setting arbitrary number of times instead of 5 allows the

checking to be repeated by the set number of times. Also, setting
0 (zero) allows the aging check to be repeated until an error
occurs.

6. At the completion of setup, “CHANGE TIMES?” will be

displayed.

7. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial clockwise by 5 clicks to display

“5” (if 5 sets of operation is executed *2)

8. Press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial, and “START” will be displayed

and the check will start. During the check, the following will
be displayed.
“CD—>HD” display: Time from switching from CD layer to

HD layer up to start of play is measured.

“HD—>CD” display: Time from switching from HD layer to

CD layer up to start of play is measured.

9. Immediately when the check finished, “CD MAX

If an error occurred due to defocusing during the checking,
refer to the following error list. (69 page)

10. Press the

will be displayed instantaneously and a recheck is enabled from
the step 5 in the same manner.

*1 “NOW SET UP” display may continue for several minutes

and an error may be displayed depending on the discs. In this
case, press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial again.
