DCR-DVD403/DVD403E/DVD803/DVD803E

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Method 1.
Use the AC power adaptor.

Method 2.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.

The laser diode may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the
potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc.
on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

Laser light of the equipment is focused by the object lens in the
optical pick-up so that the light focuses on the reflection surface of
the disc. Therefore, be sure to keep your eyes more then 30 cm
apart from the object lens when you check the emission of laser
diode.

1

Remove the cabinet (R) assembly.

2

Remove the ST-118 board, ST holder, etc.

3

Remove the heat sink (450), VC radiation sheet, etc.

4

Remove the lens section.

5

Push the portion A in the direction of the arrow and open the
disc cover.

The power supply capacitor (ST-118 board JL6501, JL6502) of the flash are charged up to the maximum 300V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the capacitors are handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the charged
voltage which is kept without discharging when the main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining voltage must be
discharged as described below.

Wrap insulating tape

To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1k

Ω

/1W (1-215-869-11)

Wrap insulating tape fully around the reads of the resistor to prevent
electric shock.

1

Remove the cabinet (R) section.

2

Connect the JL6501 (Check land of discharge) on the ST-118 board and the JL6502 (Check land of discharge) by using the short jig for
about 10 seconds.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder, or LCD
screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit number,
which blinks at 3.2Hz. This 5-character display indicates the
“repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed
code” of the problem.

The self-diagnosis display data will be kept even if the lithium battery (BT7301 of CK-148) is removed.

Codec IC dose not return are reply

EEPROM data are rewritten.

Drive fault

Codec IC fault

Audio Codec IC fault

Difficult to adjust focus
(Cannot initialize focus.)

Zoom operations fault
(Cannot initialize zoom lens.)

The abnormalities in initialization of the
focus lens and the abnormalities in
initialization of the zoom lens occurred
simultaneously.

Handshake correction function does not
work well. (With PITCH angular velocity
sensor output stopped.)
