SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

NOTES REGARDING HANDLING OF THE PICK-UP

1. Notes for transport and storage

1) The pick-up should always be left in its conductive bag until immediately prior to use.

2) The pick-up should never be subjected to external pressure or impact.

2. Repair notes

1) The pick-up incorporates a strong magnet, and so should never be brought close to magnetic materials.

2) The pick-up should always be handled correctly and carefully, taking care to avoid external pressure and impact. If it is subjected to strong pressure or impact, the result may be an operational malfunction and/or damage to the printed-circuit board.

3) Each and every pick-up is already individually adjusted to a high degree of precision, and for that reason the adjustment point and installation screws should absolutely never be touched.

4) Laser beams may damage the eyes! Absolutely never permit laser beams to enter the eyes! Also NEVER switch ON the power to the laser output part (lens, etc.) of the pick-up if it is damaged.

5) Cleaning the lens surface If there is dust on the lens surface, the dust should be cleaned away by using an air bush (such as used for camera lens). The lens is held by a delicate spring. When cleaning the lens surface, therefore, a cotton swab should be used, taking care not to distort this.

6) Never attempt to disassemble the pick-up. Spring by excess pressure. If the lens is extremely dirty, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cotton swab. (Do not use any other liquid cleaners, because they will damage the lens.) Take care not to use too much of this alcohol on the swab, and do not allow the alcohol to get inside the pick-up.

Storage in conductive bag

NEVER look directly at the laser beam, and don’t let contact fingers or other exposed skin.

NOTES REGARDING COMPACT DISC PLAYER REPAIRS

1. Preparations

1) Compact disc players incorporate a great many ICs as well as the pick-up (laser diode). These components are sensitive to, and easily affected by, static electricity. If such static electricity is high voltage, components can be damaged, and for that reason components should be handled with care.

2) The pick-up is composed of many optical components and other high-precision components. Care must be taken, therefore, to avoid repair or storage where the temperature of humidity is high, where strong

magnetism is present, or where there is excessive dust.

2. Notes for repair

1) Before replacing a component part, first disconnect the power supply lead wire from the unit

2) All equipment, measuring instruments and tools must be grounded.

3) The workbench should be covered with a conductive sheet and grounded. When removing the laser pick-up from its conductive bag, do not place the pick-up on the bag. (This is because there is the possibility of damage by static electricity.)

4) To prevent AC leakage, the metal part of the soldering iron should be grounded.

5) Workers should be grounded by an armband (1MΩ)

6) Care should be taken not to permit the laser pick-up to come in contact with clothing, in order to prevent static electricity changes in the clothing to escape from the armband.

7) The laser beam from the pick-up should NEVER be directly facing the eyes or bare skin.

ESD PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed.

CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL

OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).

Region Code: This player is designed and manufactured for compatibility with Region Management Information that is encoded on most DVD discs. This Region Code is usually displayed on the DVD case and the disc. This player has been configured by the factory for playback of discs containing a specific Region Code, which is indicated on the carton and here on the rear panel of the unit, and for discs that do not contain Region Code information. If there is any other Region Code on a disc, it will not play on the DVD280. Consult with your local JBL dealer or distributor if you have any questions regarding the Region Code setting of this player.

NOTE: You’ll find more details about all audio/video connections under Setup and Connections on the following pages.

DVD280

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

• Ensure that the power switch of this unit (and of other equipment to be connected) is set to “Off” before commencing connection.

• Do not block the ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

• Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

• Ensure that you observe the colorcoding when connecting audio and video cables.

VIDEO NOTES:

• While we suggest the use of compo-

nent video for higher quality pictures, you may also use the standard S-video or composite video connection if your TV does not have component video inputs.

Never connect more than one video output from the DVD player to your TV or A/V receiver; use only one of them.

• The composite video output (yellow) combines the complete video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or to the A/V receiver) by one cable only. Use the video output when your TV set is equipped with a video input jack only.

• The S (separate) video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable when connecting the player to a TV equipped with an S-video input for improved picture clarity.

• The component video outputs further separate the color components of the video signal, optimizing the DVD280’s video performance. Component video connections are preferred, when available, on your TV or receiver. If you are using a television or video display that is compatible with high-resolution 480P video signals, make sure to use the input jacks on the video marked “HD Component,” if available. Also, make sure to configure the display’s input settings for use with “480P” video signals. You will also need to change the scan type in the DVD280’s Video Setup menu from “Interlaced” to “Progressive.” See page 26.

• Some TVs are equipped with SCART connectors rather than with a normal video input (yellow cinch). In that case, the SCART connection should be used. It will provide the audio signal, so no connection from the Analog Audio Outputs £ to the TV is necessary. Separate analog audio connections to the TV are needed only if your TV is connected to the Component Video Outputs ∞, the Composite Video Output § or the S-Video Output ¢. If you will be using a receiver or processor with component, S- or composite video connections, then no audio connection needs to be made to the TV. If you will be using a receiver or processor with the SCART connection to the TV, then turn the volume control on the TV all the way down.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SCART AND RGB FORMAT:

• Your DVD280 is equipped with a SCART connector for direct connection to a compatible TV.

• The SCART connector provides the video signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals.

• The SCART connector for the TV provides the composite video signal or the direct RGB signal, delivering the best video performance possible, selectable in the on-screen menu system. To view RGB video on your TV, the RGB-compatible SCART connector on the TV must be used and the DVD280’s TV SCART connector must be set to “RGB” (see page 26).

• Note that with RGB video, the color intensity cannot be adjusted with most TVs.

• When the RGB video signal is used, DVDs recorded with the NTSC format can be viewed even on nonNTSC-compatible TVs, as long as the Region Code is correct for your area.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier With a Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder

When DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is outputted from the player’s optical or coaxial digital audio output. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder,

you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An optical digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (not supplied) is required for these connections, as shown below. Only one connection is needed, not both at the same time.

NOTE: With multiple video sources, your audio/video receiver can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the Component ∞, Composite § or S-Video ¢ output of the DVD280 to the correct video input on your receiver, and the video outputs of the receiver to your TV. For more details, see the manual of your audio/video receiver.

NOTE FOR ANALOG AUDIO: The connection from the Analog Audio Output £ to the TV is optional. If you plan on using your DVD280 alone, without turning on your complete system, this connection must be made, unless you’ve used the SCART ¶ connec- tion; then you can turn up the TV´s volume, as needed. The Analog Audio Outputs £ may also be connected to the standard analog left/right DVD or CD inputs on your receiver or processor, if you wish to use the DVD280 as the input for a multiroom system.

Connecting to a Receiver

When using the DVD280 with an audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows. First, make either the SCART connection å or one of the video connections (S-video ∫, com- posite video ç or component video ∂) to the TV. If you will sometimes use the TV without the audio component and you did not choose the SCART connection å, you may optionally make the analog audio connection ≠ to the TV. Second, make either the optical digital audio connection ƒ or the coaxial digital audio connection ©, to the receiver or processor. If your receiver or processor is equipped with video connections , you may optionally make connections ∫, ç or ∂ to the receiver, and then connect the receiver’s video monitor output to the TV.

TEST SCREEN

DVD is one of the highest quality sources ever made available for in-home playback of prerecorded pictures and sound. In order to make certain that your home theater system is fully optimized to take advantage of DVD’s superb picture quality, the DVD280 offers a built-in video test signal that makes it easy to calibrate your TV or video display for proper playback.

Test Screen

To utilize the built-in test screen, press the Test Button while the player is in Stop or Resume mode or access it from within the Video Adjustments submenu of the on-screen menu system (see Figure

31). When the button is pressed, the test screen will appear, allowing the following adjustments to be made:

• The proper color intensity setting on your TV.

• Proper color adjustments using the color bars, which should be (left to right) black, white, yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta (purple), red, blue and black.

• The proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars.

• The performance of the color filter in your TV (with “Video” signals); bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots.

With the gray scale and the black/ white fields below the color bars, the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted.

Figure 35

TV Picture Adjustment With Test Screen Brightness Adjustment

1. Turn down the color control on

your TV until the color bars are visible in black and white.

2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest

level where you still can see all

at any time

bars within the gray scale in the test picture separately and clearly.

3. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. The bar furthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray, but the next gradation must clearly be distinct from it. All the bars in the gray scale should be gradually and evenly changing from black to white, going from left to right.

Contrast Adjustment

1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner of the screen and a deep-dark-black bar at the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend on your preference and the surrounding light in the TV room.

2. If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the contrast is turned up or the borders of the white letters in the logo at the top of the test screen bloom (over-light) into the black areas (drastically decreasing the sharpness of the type), the contrast has been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic.

3. If you are watching TV with customary surrounding daylight, adjust the contrast so that a normal video picture has about the same look as the surroundings in your room. That way the eye is relaxed when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting may be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, thereby usually improving the sharpness of a video significantly.

4. The gray scale in the middle line

needs to have the same clear difference between each bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, go back to

“

Brightness Adjustment” and repeat Step 3 and then

“

Contrast Adjustment,” making only minor adjustments each time for optimization.

Color Adjustment

1. When the brightness and contrast are set optimally, turn up the color control to the level of your preference. Adjust to the level where the colors look strong but still natural,

too high, depending on the TV, some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase while the control is turned up. Then the color control must be reduced again. Ultimately, you also should test the color intensity with a video – e.g., pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables, and other common natural articles for an optimal setting of the color intensity.

2. If your TV has a Tint option (this is available or effective only with NTSC signals, not with PAL), use the large white bar below the gray scale to tweak the warmth of the picture. Every viewer has a preference as to how the glow of the picture should be. Some prefer a little colder picture, some a warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the white bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint to the level at which you feel the white color has the tone you prefer.

Convergence and Edge Focus

The crosshatch pattern that surrounds the test screen may be used to evaluate edge focus and convergence in front- or rear-projection video displays. However, the controls used to adjust these parameters are often not user-accessible. In any event, these adjustments are extremely complex, and require proper training and experience to avoid worsening the situation. Therefore, it is recommended that if you are unable to improve the picture using the available controls, contact the video display manufacturer’s authorized service representative for assistance.

When all desired setup and configuration entries have been made, scroll to the “Done” button at the bottom right of the Video Adjustment submenu and select it to return to the onscreen menu system. Then, press the Setup Button  to remove the menu displays from the screen. The features accessed using the Player Menu of the on-screen menu system will be described on pages 31–34. The unit will return to normal operation and you are ready to enjoy the finest in DVD or CD playback!
