In analyzing failures of the set, the servo may be applied by manual
operation. To apply servo in the test mode, use the following
method.
1. After setting the test mode, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to

select a command, and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

2. “61 DISC DETECT” (Disc type check)

t“18 ALL SRV ON”

(All servos on + auto adjustment)

3. If applying servo while checking the condition one by one,

“61 DISC DETECT” (Disc type check)

t“31 PI/FE OFSET”

(Offset automatic adjustment)

t“14 FSRV ON/OFF” (Focus

servo on)

t“16 CLV ON/OFF” (CLV servo on) t“44 ADJ

TRK DSP ” (E-F balance adjustment)

t“15 TSRV ON/OFF”

(Tracking servo on)

t“17 SSRV ON/OFF” (Sled servo

on)

t“24 ADJ FCSBIAS” (Focus bias adjustment) t“27

FOCUS AGC” (Focus auto gain adjustment)

t“45

TRACKING AGC” (Tracking auto gain adjustment).

1. On and off are alternately switched in the same command.
2. For a stop, select “19 ALL SRV OFF” and press the 

[         AMS         ]

dial.

The communication between microcomputer and main ICs is
checked.

Checking Method:
1. After setting the test mode, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to

select “A0. IC SELF CHECK” and press the 

[        AMS        ]

dial to enter.

2. A checking will start automatically. (Checking time is about 3

seconds)

3. At successful completion of check, “IC CHECK OK” is dis-

played. In this case, no error exists in the IC interface.

The check mentioned above tests the communication from micro-
computer to main ICs. Even if the check successfully finished, the
IC to be checked is not always normal. Consider it for reference
only.

4. In case of an IC communication error, the following display

will be given during the checking. Possible causes of error are
as listed below.

In case of more than two errors, the error display is switched over
one after another, thus making the reading difficult.
In such a case, press again the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to make a

recheck for error reading.

Checking Method:
1. After setting the test mode, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to

select “8A. FL CHECK” and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to

enter.

2. Respective segments of fluorescent indicator tube will

automatically light up in order, and therefore check that there
is no chipped character.

3. The “INPUT REMOCON” will be displayed after the segment

check finished successfully, and then press a proper key on
the remote commander.

4. After “JOG CHECK” is displayed, the numbers of calendar

will be displayed from 1 to 15 each time the 

[        AMS        ]

dial is rotated clockwise.

5. After display up to 15, the numbers of calendar will

disappear in order each time the 

[         AMS         ]

 dial is

rotated counterclockwise.

6. “TTX-1514?” will be displayed when all are cleared, and then

rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to select tke TTX-1515 press

the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial.

7. Upon display of “KEY CHECK”, if a key on the display is

pressed, the corresponding segment of fluorescent indicator
tube will light up.

8. “FL TEST END” will be displayed if all keys are pressed.

Note: The keys include the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial. If the segment that

corresponds to the pressed key does not light up, that key is faulty.

9. The test mode selection display will be back, if the 

[         AMS         ]

dial is pressed.

The operational stability of the set is checked. The check and OK/NG judgment are performed automatically.

: In the set check using the CD, besides a checking, the MIRR time used for the disc check is measured every optical pick-up, and from the measured

result, the threshold value is calculated and it is stored in the EEPROM (IC903) on the MAIN board. Accordingly, if a combination of optical pick-
up and EEPROM is changed (for example, the optical pick-up or MAIN board is replaced), be sure to perform the set check using the following CD.
As the data stored in the EEPROM are overwritten every set check, retry if failed. For the set check using the SACD, only checking is made.

Checking method:
1. After setting the test mode, rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to select “SET CHECK” and press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to enter.

2. Upon display of “AUTO CHECK SP?”, further press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial.

3. The tray will open automatically, and then set the test disc*1 of CD or SACD.
4. With the “DISC IN&JOG ON” displayed, press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial, and the check will be executed automatically.

5. “SPEC OK!” will be displayed if the measured result is within the specification. Faulty item name and the measured result wil l be

displayed if any measured item is NG.

6. After that, “AUTO CHECK SP?” will be again displayed, and then rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial to select “CHECK END?”. Further,

press the 

[        AMS        ]

 dial, and the test mode selection display will be back, and then press the 

[OPEN/CLOSE    ]

 button and take

the test disc out.

*1 Use PATD-012 or YEDS-18 for CD, and SATD-S5 or SATD-S4 for SACD (SL). Using another disc will result in a checking failure.
