TEST MODE

M&T-SRT Model Test Mode

1. How to enter the test mode

• While holding the FM and Preset 6 keys, reset the unit.

2. How to exit from the test mode

• While holding the Preset 6 key, reset the unit.

• (Note) The test mode cannot terminated by Acc OFF,

power OFF or momentary power down.

3. Initial status in the test mode

• Sources : All OFF.

• Display : All segments are lit.

• Volume : -10 dB (displayed as 30)

• Loudness : OFF

•CRSC : OFF regardless of the presence of switching

function.

• SYSTEM Q: Flat.

• Blank Skip : OFF. (C/R model)

• LED : White for no scanning. (VLCD model)

4. Special display in Tuner mode

• When any of the following messages is displayed in Tuner mode, the front end may be abnormal.

•"TNE 2P NG": The EEPROM is set to the default (unsta-

ble values) because the F/E was shipped without passing

through the adjustment process, etc.

• "TNCON NG": Communication with the F/E is not possible.

5. Forced switching of K3I

• Each press of the Preset 6 key in Tuner mode should

switch K3I from AUTO → Forced Wide → Forced Middle

→ Forced Narrow → AUTO. The initial status is AUTO and the display shows these modes as follows.

• AUTO : FMA

• Forced Wide : FMW

• Forced Middle : FMM

• Forced Narrow : FMN

Test mode specifications of the CD receiver

• Forced ejection is inhibited in the reset start operation.

When the unit is reset while a CD is loaded in it, the CD

is not recognized by resetting.

• Each press of the Track Up key jumps to the following track numbers. No. 9 → No. 15 → No. 10 → No. 11 → No. 12 → No. 13 → No. 14 → No. 9 (The cycle restarts from here.)

• Each press of the Track Down key jumps to the previous track number to the track being played.

7. Audio-related specifications

• A short press of the Q key initiates the audio adjustment mode.

• Pressing the ❉ key on the remote initiates the audio adjustment mode.

• Continuous holding of a remote control key is inhibited.

• Bass, Middle and Treble are adjusted in 3 steps of Min/

Center/Max with the Track Up/Down keys.

• Balance is adjusted in 3 steps of Left Max/Center/Right Max with the Track Up/Down keys.

• Fader is adjusted in 3 steps of Rear Max/Center/Front Max with the Track Up/Down keys.

• HPF is adjusted in 2 steps of Through/220 Hz with the Track Up/Down keys.

• LPF is adjusted in 2 steps of Through/120 Hz with the Track Up/Down keys.

• Bass f, Bass Q, Bass EXT, Middle f, Middle Q and Treble f are not dealt with by the audio adjustment.

8. Menu-related specifications

• A short press of the CLK key initiates the Menu mode.

• Pressing the DNPP/SBF key on the remote initiates the

Menu mode.

• Continuous holding of a remote control key is inhibited.

• Calendar adjustment, calendar display switching and cal-

endar memo are eliminated from the targets of continuous key holding. (FL model).

• In the color adjustment mode, pressing the Preset 1 key sets Red, 2 sets Blue, 3 sets Green and 4 sets Green. (VLCD model)

• Contrast is adjusted in 3 steps of 0/5/10 and the default is 5. (VLCD/LCD model)

• Brightness is adjusted in 3 steps of 0/5/10 and the default is 10. (Normal FL model)

9. Backup current measurement

• When the unit is reset while Acc is OFF (i.e. by turning

Back-Up ON), the MUTE terminal goes OFF in 2 seconds

in place of 15 second. (The panel, CD mechanism and TAPE mechanism are not activated at this time.)

KRC-794/Y

TEST MODE

10.

Special display when the display is All ON

Pressing the Preset keys while the power is All OFF displays the following information.

11. Other specifications

• Automatic panel closing when a tape/CD is inserted is inhibited. (M&T model)

• Panel operation by turning power OFF/ON is inhibited.

(M&T model)

• Pressing the ATT key opens or closes the panel. (M&T model)

• Messages such as "CODE OFF" are not displayed when power is turned ON.

• Pressing the TI (AUTO) key during changer operation turns 2zone ON. 2zone can be turned OFF by pressing the TI (AUTO) key again. The P/S dot lights while 2 zone is ON.

• Pressing and holding the CLK key for a second in the All OFF status the Mask Key (security) write mode.

■ Security-related information

• Forced Power ON mode (All models)

Even when the security (Mask key) is approved, resetting the unit while holding the ATT and Preset 4 keys makes it possible to turn the power ON for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes have elapsed, it is not possible to return to the previous condition unless the unit is reset again.

• Method of registration of the security code after EEPROM (Tuner Unit Ass'y) replacement (Code security model)

1. Enter the test mode. (See 1 How to enter the test mode)

2. Press the CLK key to enter the security registration

mode.

3. Enter the code using the Preset 1/2/3/4 keys.

Example: To enter "3510"

• Press the Preset 1 key 4 times.

• Press the Preset 2 key 6 times.

• Press the Preset 3 key twice.

• Press the Preset 4 key once.

4. Press and hold the DISP key for 3 seconds until

"APPROVED" is displayed.

5. Exit from the test mode. (See 2 How to exit from the

test mode) (Note) All Clear is not applicable to the security code of this model.

• Simplified method of clearing the security code (K Type only)

1. While the code entry is requested, press and hold the

VOL UP key for 3 seconds while holding the DISP key pressed.(This should turn ---- off.)

2. Enter "KCAR" from the remote. (Same way as the 00

model) Press the 5 key on the remote twice, then press the Track Up key. (This enters "K") Press the 2 key on the remote 3 times, then press the Track Up key. (This enters "C") Press the 2 key on the remote once, then press the Track Up key. (This enters "A") Press the 7 key on the remote twice, then press the Track Up key. (This enters "R")

3. The security code is cleared and the unit enters the All

OFF mode.

4. If you commit a mistake in the code entry, the unit

enters the code request mode again.

TEST MODE

• Method of writing the Mask key while the EEPROM is in the initial status

Enter the test mode. (See 1 How to enter the test mode)

2. Press the CLK key to enter the Mask key registration

mode. "TRANSMIT1" should be displayed now. The display at this time should show "< >" in place of "[ ]".

3. Point the Mask key remote toward the light sensor,

and press and hold its key for more than 0.5 second.

4. When "TRANSMIT2" is displayed, press and hold the

key on the Mask key remote for more than 0.5 second again. The first and second counter codes are not compared at this time.

5. When "APPROVED" is displayed, the write operation

is complete. Now the demonstration mode is initiated and the test mode is terminated. (Note) In the same way as previous models, if 30 minutes have elapsed with no code written, an error occurs and the power is turned OFF.

• Method of initializing the Mask key (How to reset the unit from the Mask key approved condition to the factory condition)

1. Enter the test mode. (See 1 How to enter the test mode)

2. "TRANSMIT1" is displayed and the Mask key entry

request mode is initiated. The display at this time should show "❉❉" in place of "[ ]".

3. Press and hold the key on the Master key remote for

more than 3 seconds.

4. When "TRANSMIT2" is displayed, press and hold the

key on the Master key remote for more than 3 seconds.

5. When "APPROVED" is displayed, the Mask key is

cleared, the demonstration mode is initiated, the test mode is terminated and the unit returns to the factory condition.

• Method of clearing all Mask key-related data

1. Enter the test mode. (See 1 How to enter the test mode)

2. Press the CLK key to enter the Mask key registration mode. "TRANSMIT1" should be displayed now.

3. Point the Master key remote toward the light sensor, and press and hold its key for more than 3 seconds (until the level display shows the full condition).

4. When "TRANSMIT2" is displayed, hold the key on the Mask key remote for more than 3 seconds again. If "TRANSMIT1" is displayed in place of "TRANSMIT2", restart the procedure from step 3.

5. When "APPROVED" is displayed, all security data is cleared and the unit returns to the condition before Mask key writing with the EEPROM in the initial status.
