SECTION 1
PRECAUTION
1.1 Safety Precautions
(1) This design of this product contains special hardware and
many circuits and components specially for safety purpos­es. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services should be per­formed by qualified personnel only.
(2) Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should
not be made. Any design alterations of the product should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturers warranty and will further relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
(3) Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have
special safety-related characteristics. These characteris­tics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by us­ing replacement components rated for higher voltage, watt­age, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Ser­vice Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the Parts List in the Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety charac­teristics as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.
(4) The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties,
clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to normal, after reassem­bling.
(5) Leakage shock hazard testing)
After reassembling the product, always perform an isola­tion check on the exposed metal parts of the product (an­tenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
• Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particular­ly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage cur­rent must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
• Alternate check method Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms per volt or more sensi­tivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 ohm 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor be­tween an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground. Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC voltmeter. Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. Voltage measured any must not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
1.2 Warning
(1) This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards.
(2) It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that
these safety standards are maintained.
(3) Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant
safety standards.
(4) It is essential that safety critical components are replaced
by approved parts.
(5) If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local
voltage.
1.3 Caution
Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts of the chassis. Therefore, pay attention to such burrs in the case of pre­forming repair of this system.
1.4 Critical parts for safety
In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the parts that are printed over with black such as the resistor ( ), diode ( ) and ICP ( ) or identified by the " " mark nearby are critical for safety. When replacing them, be sure to use the parts of the same type and rating as specified by the manufacturer. (Except the JC version)
(No.YD020)1-3
1.5 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.5.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as DVD players. Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(3) Handling the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition. (Refer to the text.)
• Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily destroy the laser diode.
1.6 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
(1) Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit. (2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the
replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long
a time when attaching it to the connector. (3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force. (4) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.

1.8 Precautions for Service
1.8.1 Handling of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup
(1) Do not touch any peripheral element of the pickup or the actuator. (2) The traverse unit and the pickup are precision devices and therefore must not be subjected to strong shock. (3) Do not use a tester to examine the laser diode. (The diode can easily be destroyed by the internal power supply of the tester.) (4) To replace the traverse unit, pull out the metal short pin for protection from charging. (5) When replacing the pickup, after mounting a new pickup, remove the solder on the short land which is provided at the center of
the flexible wire to open the circuit. (6) Half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment are adjusted in pairs at shipment to match the characteristics of the optical block.
Do not change the setting of these half-fixed resistors for laser power adjustment.
1.8.2 Destruction of Traverse Unit and Laser Pickup by Static Electricity
Laser diodes are easily destroyed by static electricity charged on clothingor the human body. Before repairing peripheral elements of the traverse unit or pickup, be sure to take the following electrostatic protection:
(1) Wear an antistatic wrist wrap. (2) With a conductive sheet or a steel plate on the workbench on which the traverse unit or the pick up is to be repaired, ground the
sheet or the plate. (3) It solders to two short circuit sections on the substrate of a pick-up. (4) After removing the flexible wire from the connector (CN101
), short-circuit the flexible wire by the metal clip.
(5) Short-circuit the laser diode by soldering the land which is provided at the center of the flexible wire for the pickup.

Preparations
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/ Video system.
NOTE
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 29 for details.
Connections
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.
Connecting to a TV
The following sections A to C describe TV connections where only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio from the TV.

Set the 525i/625i - 525p/625p ­REMOTE selector to “525i/ 625i.”
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with
“monitor” or “projector.”
• Terminal names used for other components may be different
from those used in the following description.
NOTES
• Do not connect an S-video cable to the S-VIDEO output of the player. If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from the VIDEO jack of the player.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

C Connecting to a TV with component jacks
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Progressive scan video playback available
In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.
Set the PAL/NTSC selector to
PAL NTSC
“PAL” or “NTSC” to match the color system of your TV. (Change the selector position in stop mode or with no disc inserted.)
Hint
Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30­frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive (uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Restarting playback after stopping (resuming playback)
Changing the resume mode
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME.
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 26).
When the resume mode is “OFF”
Playback always starts from the beginning.
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”
The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc. The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.
NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.
The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray. This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you purchased the player. When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the position on a disc where you interrupted playback.
• When you press 7 to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows
[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.
• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].
Hint
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you turn off the player.
To play back from the beginning
Press 7 while the disc is stopped. The memory is cleared. Then press 3 (SELECT).
NOTES
• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn the power off.
• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

About screen saver function
A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player automatically activates the screen saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes. When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen gets darker. Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function. You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page
