Safety Instructions, Warnings and Notes
2. Safety Instructions, Warnings and Notes
EN 3DVD963SA 2.
2.1 Safety Instructions
2.1.1 General Safety
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
• Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.
• Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol ,
only by components identical to the original ones. Any
other component substitution (other than original type) may
increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return
the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to
the following points:
• Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the
mounted cable clamps.
• Check the insulation of the mains lead for external
damage.
• Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side:
1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug.
2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!).
3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug
and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.
4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance
measurement is less than 1 MΩ.
5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/
user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).
6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.
2.1.2 Laser Safety
This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel may
remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (due to
possible eye injury).
2.2 Warnings
2.2.1 General
• All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD, symbol "). Careless
handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make
sure that, during repair, you are at the same potential as
the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep
components and tools at this same potential. Available
ESD protection equipment:
– Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822
310 10671.
– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
• Be careful during measurements in the live voltage section.
The primary side of the power supply (pos. 1005), including
the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect
the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is
possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this
unshielded primary area, when you service the player.
Service personnel must take precautions to prevent
touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning
stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring
board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.
• Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is
‘on’.
2.2.2 Laser
• The use of optical instruments with this product, will
increase eye hazard.
• Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or
attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.
• Repair handling should take place as much as possible
with a disc loaded inside the player.
• Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover

4.3 Service Hints
4.3.1 Switched Mode Power Supply
The power supply unit has to be replaced in case of failure. The
schematic provided in the manual is only for information and no
service parts will be available.
4.3.2 DVD Module
This module can be repaired as follows:
1. The VAL6011/14 is a combination of loading mechanism
and DVD-mechanism. Both are not repairable units and in
case of failure, it has to be replaced with a new loader
VAL6011/14.
Note: When replacing with a new VAL6011/14, two solder
joints have to be removed after connecting the OPU flex foil
to the mono board.
The solder joints, which shortcircuits the laser diodes to
ground, are for protection against ESD. Refer to figures 25 and 2-6 for location of solder joints.
2. The mono board has to be repaired down to component
level. Repair handling of the monoboard requires a
workshop with sophisticated desoldering tools.
4.3.3 ComPair
For assistance with the repair process of the monoboard an
electronic fault finding guidance has been developed. This
program is called ComPair.
This ComPair program is available on CDROM.
The version of the CDROM for repair of the monoboard is V1.3
or higher and can be ordered with codenumber 4822 727
21637. This is an update CDROM, so when the ComPair
CDROM is used for the first time, one has to install the ComPair
Engine CDROM V1.2 first.
The V1.2 CDROM can be ordered with code number 4822 727
21634 and has to registered after instalation. The procedure for
registration is explained in the help file of the program and in
the CDROM booklet.
The cable to connect the monoboard with a PC can be ordered
with codenumber: 3122 785 90017.
All the hardware and software requirements of the systems,
necessary for working with ComPair, are described on the
CDROM.
4.3.4 Service Positions
Refer to dismantling instructions for dismounting of the board.
Figures 2-7 to 2-8 shows the service position that are
recommended during repair of the boards.

5.1 Dealerscript
5.1.1 Purpose of Dealer Script
The dealer script can give a diagnosis on a standalone DVD
player, no other equipment is needed to perform a number of
hardware tests to check if the DVD player is faulty. The
diagnosis is simply a "error" or "pass" message. No indication
is given of faulty hardware modules. Only tests within the scope
of the diagnostic software will be executed hence only faults
within this scope can be detected.

5.1.2 Contents of Dealer Script
The dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that do not
need any user interaction and are meaningful on a standalone
DVD player.
The nuclei called in the dealer script are the following (the
number after each nucleus name corresponds with the number
being on the local display when the nucleus is executed during
the dealer script):

Diagnostic Software, Trouble Shooting and Test Instructions
5.2 Player Script
5.2.1 Purpose of Player Script
The Player script will give the opportunity to perform a test that
will determine which of the DVD player's modules are faulty, to
read the error log and error bits and to perform an endurance
loop test. To successfully perform the tests, the DVD player
must be connected to a TV set to check the output of a number
of nuclei. For DVDv2b a multi-channel amplifier, a set of 6
speakers and an external video source are necessary to test.
To be able to check results of certain nuclei, the player script
expects some interaction of the user (i.e. to approve a test
picture or a test sound). Some nuclei (e.g. nuclei that test
functionality of the Basic Engine module) require that the DVD
player itself is opened, to enable the user to observe moving
parts and approve their movement visually. Only tests within
the scope of the diagnostic software will be executed hence
only faults within this scope can be detected.
5.2.2 Contents of Player Script
The player script contains all nuclei that are useful on a DVD
player that is connected to a TV set and help to determine
which module of the DVD player is faulty, as well as to read out
the contents of the error logs.
5.2.3 Structure of Player Script
The player script consists of a set of nuclei testing the three
hardware modules in the DVD player: the Display PWB, the
Digital PWB, and the Basic Engine.
Nuclei run by the player test need some user interaction. In the
next paragraph this interaction is described. The player test is
done in two phases:
1. Interactive tests: this part of the player test depends
strongly on user interaction and input to determine nucleus
results and to progress through the full test. Reading the
error log and error bits information can be useful to
determine any errors that occurred recently during normal
operation of the DVD player.
2. The loop test: this part of the player test will loop through
the list of nuclei indefinitely, till the player is reset. The list
of nuclei is as follows:
• PapChksFlash
• PapI2cNvram
• CompSdramWrR
• PapS2bEcho
• PapI2cDisp
At the beginning of the tests, the DSW version number will be
indicated on the local display of the DVD.
The display will look like the following:

The LED(s) on the DVD player is (are) tested by nucleus
DispLed. The user must check if the LED(s) is (are) lighted; if it
is, press OPEN/CLOSE, if it is not, press STOP. By pressing
PLAY the script will proceed to the next test. If the user presses
PLAY before OPEN/CLOSE or STOP, the DispLed nucleus will
return TRUE (LED test successful).
5.3.3 Keyboard Test
The keyboard of the DVD player is tested by nucleus
DispKeyb. The user is expected to press all keys on the local
keyboard once. The code of the key pressed is shown on the
local display (1 hexadecimal digit) immediately followed by a
(hexadecimal) number indicating how many times that key has
been pressed. Example of the local display during this test:
080102
Figure 5-8
If any keys are detected more than once (due to hardware
error), the key-code is displayed twice (or more), with the
second digit increased by 1.
If the user does not press all keys minimally once (in any order),
the DispKeys nucleus will return FALSE and cause an error in
the overall result of the player script.
The user can leave the keyboard test by pressing the PLAY key
on the local display of the DVD player for at least one full
second.
The result of the keyboard test is shown on local display as
follows:

pressed the PLAY key. Pressing the PLAY key, before
pressing a key on the remote control, gives an error in the
remote control test (note that the remote control test will also
fail if a key on the remote control was pressed but no code was
received). The remote control test does not check upon the
contents of the received code, that is it will not be checked if the
received code matches the key pressed. If desired, the user
can manually check this code by using a code-table for the
remote control key-codes.

asking the user for confirmation.
The display will show the following message:
Figure 5-18
By pressing OPEN/CLOSE the user confirms the test, pressing
STOP will indicate the picture was invisible or incorrect.
Pressing PLAY will proceed to the next test. If the user presses
PLAY without pressing OPEN/CLOSE or STOP first, the result
of this test will be TRUE (picture ok).
Note: The colour bar must be simultaneously available on the
CVBS, YC, and RGB (or YUV) outputs available. On the
SCART only the CVBS and RGB signals will be available.

In the basic engine tests, the version number of the Basic
Engine will be shown first, as the following example:
Figure 5-22
By pressing the PLAY key, the Basic Engine tests are started.
5.5.2 Tray Test
First, the tray is tested. The purpose of this test is also to give
the user the opportunity to put a disc in the tray of the DVD
player. Some tests on the Basic Engine require that a disc (e.g.
DVD MPTD test disc) is present in the player. At the end of the
Basic Engine tests this tray test will be repeated solely to
enable the user to remove the disc in the tray.
The local display will look as follows:
Figure 5-23
By pressing OPEN/CLOSE the user can toggle the position of
the tray. Note that this test will not contribute to the test result
of the Basic Engine. Pressing PLAY will proceed to the next
test. At this point, the tray will be closed automatically by the
software if it was open.

By pressing OPEN/CLOSE the user confirms that the disc
motor is running. Pressing STOP indicates the disc motor does
not work. Pressing PLAY proceeds to the next test, after a reset
of the disc motor (nucleus BeDiscMotorOff). If the user presses
PLAY before pressing OPEN/CLOSE or STOP, the result of
this test will be TRUE (disc motor is running).
5.5.5 Focus Test (Visual Test)
The fourth Basic Engine test tests the focussing. First
focussing is turned on by calling nucleus BeFocusOn.
The display will look as follows:
Figure 5-26
By pressing OPEN/CLOSE the user confirms that the
focussing was succesful. Pressing STOP indicates a focussing
failure. Pressing PLAY proceeds to the next test after a reset of
the focussing (nucleus BeFocusOff). If PLAY is pressed before
OPEN/CLOSE or STOP, the result of this test will be TRUE
(focus successful).
5.5.6 Radial Test (Visual & Listening Test)
The fifth Basic Engine test tests the radial functionality (nucleus
BeRadialOn).
The local display looks as follows:
CL 16532162_043.eps

The second Basic Engine test tests the sledge. The user can
move the sledge as many times as desired by using OPEN/
CLOSE (nucleus BeSledgeOut) and STOP (nucleus
BeSledgeIn). Pressing PLAY on the local keyboard proceeds
to the next test. Note that this test will not contribute to the test
result of the Basic Engine.
The local display will look as follows during the sledge test:

By pressing OPEN/CLOSE the user confirms that the radial
function works.Pressing STOP indicates the function does not
work. Pressing PLAY proceeds to the next test, after a reset of
the radial (nucleus BeRadialOff). If the user presses PLAY
before pressing OPEN/CLOSE or STOP, the result of this test
will be TRUE (radial successful).
5.5.7 Jump Test (Listening Test)
The sixth and last Basic Engine test tests the jumping by calling
nuclei BeGroovesIn, BeGroovesMid and BeGroovesOut.
During this test, the local display looks as follows:
CL 16532162_045.eps

Figure 5-28
The user can switch between the three different types of
groove settings by pressing OPEN/CLOSE (forward to next
nucleus in the list In-Mid-Out), or STOP (backward in the list InMid-Out). This is done in a cyclic manner; note that this test will
not contribute to the test result of the Basic Engine. Pressing
PLAY proceeds to the next test, after the disc motor has been
shut off with a call to nucleus BeDiscMotorOff.
5.5.8 Tray Test
As a last action for the Basic Engine tests, the tray test is
repeated. The local display will look as follows:
Figure 5-29
This test is meant to give the user the opportunity to remove the
disc in the tray. The tray position can be toggled using the
OPEN/CLOSE key. The tray will be closed (by the software, if
it is open) before proceeding to the next test when the user
presses the PLAY key.
5.5.9 Error Log (See Table on Page 25)
Reading the error log and error bits information can be useful
to determine any errors that occurred recently during normal
operation of the DVD player. Reading the error log is done by
nucleus LogReadErr.
The display during the errorlog readout looks as follows :

Figure 5-31
Only the identification number (decimal) representing set
errorbits will be shown. By pressing OPEN/CLOSE or STOP,
the user can move forward or backward (respectively) through
the logged errorcodes. If the display only shows "EB-0", no
error bits were set. By pressing PLAY the user can continue to
the next test.
5.6 Loop Test (See Table Below)
At the start of the loop test, the local display of the DVD player
will show the interactive player test result readout in the
following display:
Figure 5-32
The left side of the display contains a 3-digit code, which can
have a value between 000 and 111. These values indicate the
faulty modules and are to be interpreted as follows:
Displayed

000 ok ok ok
001 ok ok faulty
010 ok faulty ok
011 ok faulty faulty
100 faulty ok ok
101 faulty ok faulty

Note: Previous versions of the diagnostic software showed a 8-
digit error code.
Due to limitations in the number of digits that can be displayed
by some front panel displays, the most significant digits will not
be shown. This can be done since all the error codes used by
this player has set these 2 digits to “00”
By pressing OPEN/CLOSE or STOP the user can move
forward or backward (respectively) through the logged error
codes. If "0000" is displayed at all positions, the error log is
empty. Display of the logged errors is done in a cyclic manner.
By pressing PLAY on the local keyboard, the user can proceed
to the next test.
5.5.10 Error Bits
Reading the error bits is done by nucleus LogReadBits. The
display during the errorbits readout looks as follows:
CL 16532162_047.eps
080102
Figure 5-33
The loop test will perform the same nuclei as the dealer test,
but it will loop through the list of nuclei indefinitely. The display
of the DVD player will display not only the three digits indicating
correct/faulty modules and the last found error code (as
mentioned, faults are detected as far as they can be within the
scope of the diagnostic software), but also a loop counter
indicating how many times the loop has been gone through. If
an error was detected, the display will remain as in figure 5-34
until the user presses the PLAY key and then it will continue to
the next loop.
Example:
CL 16532162_050.eps

The 2-digit number (23) on the right of figure 5-32 indicates the
number of times the loop test has been performed.
EN 28 DVD963SA5.
Diagnostic Software, Trouble Shooting and Test Instructions
After one loop cycle: Display the 3-digit module bits together
with the last error code which occured in the loop test. The 4
digits at the right side of the display (fig. 5-34) show the last
error that was found during the loop test. The leftmost two digits
(54) of this code indicates which nucleus resulted in a fault. The
rightmost two digits (03) refer to the faultcode within that
nucleus. For further explanation of this error code, refer to
chapter 5.8 (Nuclei Error Codes).
5.6.1 Errorlog
Explanation:
The application errors will be logged in the NVRAM. The
maximum number of error bytes that will be visible is 16. The
first word (4 digits) of the byte is the component identification,
the last word is the error code.
The diagnostics software will present a combination of this
component identification plus an error code on the local display
(and on the attached terminal). The last reported error is shown
as < 00000000, the oldest visible error as 00000000 > and the
errors in between as < 00000000 >.
The devices that may report errors are the serial controller
(UART), the basic engine (BE), the slave processor (SLPH),
the SACD Stream Manager (SSM) and the SACD Media
Access (SMA). The identification of these components is as
follows:
Component name Component identification
Serial controller (UART) 000A
Engine (BE) 0016
Slave Processor (SLPH) 001A
SACD Stream Manager
(SSM)
SACD Media Access (SMA) 002E
Diagnostic software (DS) Dxxx
The tables in the next chapters list the error code and
corresponding problem. The column ‘Explanation’ holds a
more elaborate description and the most likely reason for the
error.
Some Examples:
002E0000 (SMA reported a timeout error)
0016010A (Engine could not fully close or open the tray)
D0010001 (Flash checksum failed).
For further explanation of DS errors, see description of nucleui
error codes in paragraph 5.8.
