Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

When there is a trouble which may indicate a malfunction, perform troubleshooting using the following procedure. Troubleshooting is how you determine what part of a complex system (like a home theater system) is at fault when the system isn’t working how you think it should. When you troubleshoot a system, you diagnose a problem by examining and eliminating possible causes until there’s only one left. Troubleshooting is easiest when you start with the most obvious, most common, and most likely and work from there.

Diagnosing your own problems can save you time and aggravation—the better you understand how to troubleshoot and adjust your own system, the less time you have to:

¶ spend on the phone with a customer service representative ¶ do without your player because it’s “in the shop”

There are some basic steps to good troubleshooting:

1. Verify the exact conditions when the problem occurs.

This is the most important step in troubleshooting. Whether you fix it yourself or have to describe it to a technician, you are

Troubleshooting

much more likely to really solve the problem if you know the exact circumstances surrounding the problem. For example, if you don’t hear anything through the speakers, it’s useful to know if it only happens when you are listening to CDs. Knowing that eliminates the speakers themselves as part of the problem. The more you know about when a problem occurs, the more likely it is that you or the technician can solve it.

2. Check each part of the signal path from source to speakers.

You may also need to test the assumptions you made in step 1: Maybe you haven't listened to your DVD player in a while

84 DVF-R9030

there no sound from it as well? This step will really help narrow down the possible causes. Test all your connected devices and eliminate the ones where the problem doesn't occur. When you're done with this step, you'll probably have found the problem.

3. Go over all device connections slowly and methodically.

Double-check the settings on your remote.

Wrong or loose connections are the most likely cause of the most common home entertainment problem: no sound. Use the Connection and Setup Guide to double-check your connections for each device.

4. Cables (especially old ones) go bad more frequently than

devices do.

Always suspect the cable before its device. For one thing, it’s easier to test: simply swap the cable with one connected to a device you know is working. If the problem device works now, it was the cable. You can generally purchase new cables at most home electronics stores, or via the Internet.

Troubleshooting

5. User error is more likely than device failure.

Use this manual to go over the steps to operate the player. Refer to the other devices' manuals as well.

6. Instruction manuals are your friend.

First check the manual when something doesn't work how you expected it to. If you read the manual before calling the store or taking the device back, you may find the solution to your problem much more quickly.

Chapter 6: Glossary

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc): DVD VIDEO is a disc featuring

high video/audio quality, made possible by large recording capacity of video and audio signals of movie software, etc. and by digital signal processing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using highbit, high sampling rate processing.

VIDEO CD (VCD): This is a CD containing moving picture. By

compressing video data to about 1/120 and audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same size as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures and audio for up to about 74 minutes.

The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with only the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.-compatible discs with the menu playback and special playback capabilities (Version 2.0)

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD): A digital

video and audio compression and decompression system which is standardized as an international standard.

Decoder: A device for restoring standard audio signal from audio

data recorded based on coding into DVD data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.

Downmixing: Conversion of multichannel audio signals of DVD

or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.

Sampling rate: Sampling refers to converting an analog signal

into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count of slicing per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the sampling rate is higher.

DVF-R9030 91

Glossary

Quantization bit: The quantization bit count refers to the num-

ber used in digitizing the sliced parts obtained by slicing the analog signal as described above. The quantization bit count is the number of bits used in digitization per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the quantization bit count is larger.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal format with-

out using compression. In the DVD which has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal using high sampling rate can be recorded.

Packed PCM : The packed PCM(P.PCM) signal is obtained by com-

pressing the linear PCM signal featuring large data amount and high sampling rate. With this compression, the signal before compression can be restored perfectly.

Bitstream (DVD): This is the generic name given for the flow of

data based on a standard such as Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.

Dolby Digital: A digital audio compression technology developed

by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compatible with 6-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount of audio data efficiently in a disc.

DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital Theater Sys-

tems, Inc.

Glossary

Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO): The title is the largest unit of video

or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usually, a title corresponding to a movie product with video software or an album (or a piece of music) with music software. The numbers assigned to the titles are referred to as title numbers.

92 DVF-R9030

Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO): The chapter is a partition

of video or audio that is smaller than the title. A title is composed of multiple chapters. The numbers assigned to the chapters are referred to as chapter numbers.

Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO): The group is the largest unit

of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually, a group corresponds to an album. The numbers assigned to the groups are referred to as group numbers.

Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD): The track is a parti-

tion of audio (such as a piece of music or music chapter) in a disc. These partitions are numbered and the numbers are referred to as track numbers. While a track usually corresponds to a piece of music with DVD AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the partitions of contents and track numbers are not always corresponding with VCD. As a result, while all of the playback operations including track skipping and programming of ordinary music CD are based on the track number information, such operations may sometimes be unavailable with VCD.

AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that contains

moving pictures. The audio language, subtitle language and viewing angles in this part can be switched by the user.

AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that contains

audio and still pictures. The audio language and still pictures in this part can be switched by the user.

Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of

multiple subtitle languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

DVF-R9030 93

Glossary

Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of multiple view-

ing angles. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded angles during playback of such a DVD.

Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of

multiple audio languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and vertical sizes

of picture displayed on a TV screen. The aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of widescreen TV is 16:9.

Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontally-long

picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture.

In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan are determined uniformly by the reproducing device. However, the pan & scan of DVD allows the software producer to specify the trimming positions to be used in playback.

Letterbox (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontally-long pic-

ture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of the screen and displaying the horizontally-long picture at the center of screen.

Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a moving picture, that is dis-

Glossary

played 30 times a second with NTSC and 25 times a second with PAL. These TV formats reproduce moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.

Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame obtained by diving the video

data of each frame by two. Each frame of ordinary TV is constituted by displaying the fields alternately.

94 DVF-R9030

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD): Types of still pictures ob-

tained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the picture because it displays two specific fields alternately, but the picture quality is higher. The field still picture has lower picture quality because it uses half the picture information of frame still, but is not accompanies with picture blur.

IPB display (DVD): With the MPEG2 which is one of the video

display methods of DVD, each picture is divided into the following three picture types before being coded in digital signal.

I-picture (in-frame coding): This is the standard video and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest picture quality can be obtained, the still image of I-picture is most suitable for use when adjusting the picture quality.

P-picture (forward prediction coding): Picture calculated based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).

B-picture (bidirectional prediction coding): Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type contains least amount of video information.
