Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

EN 5DVDR615/37/78 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, $). 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
shield:

5. Diagnostic Software

Diagnostic Software

Due to the complexity of the DVD recorder, the time to find a
defect in the recorder can become long. To reduce this time,
the recorder has been equipped with Diagnostic and Service
software (DS). The DS offers functionality to diagnose the
DVDR hardware and tests the following:

• Interconnections between components

• Accessibility of components

• Functionality of the audio and video paths

This functionality can be accessed via several interfaces:

1. End user/Dealer script interface

2. Command Interface

5.1 End User/Dealer Script Interface

5.1.1 Description

The End user/Dealer script interface gives a diagnosis on a
stand alone DVD recorder. During this mode, a number of
hardware tests (nuclei) are automatically executed to check if
the recorder is faulty. The diagnosis is simply a "fail" or "pass"
message. If the message "FAIL" appears on the display, there
is apparently a failure in the recorder. If the message "PASS"
appears, the nuclei in this mode have been executed
successfully. There can be still a failure in the recorder
because the nuclei in this mode don't cover the complete
functionality of the recorder.

5.1.2 Structure

Unplug the power cord

Hold key <PLAY> pressed
while you plug the recorder

During the test, the display will show
the a sequence of nuclei under test

SET O.K.?

YES

To exit DEALER SCRIPT, unplug the power cord

The End use/Dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that
do not need any user interaction and are meaningful on a
standalone DVD recorder.

5.3.3 Command Mode Interface

Set-Up Physical Interface Components

Hardware required:

• Service PC

• one free COM port on the Service PC

• special cable to connect DVD recorder to Service PC
The service PC must have a terminal emulation program (e.g.
Hyperterminal) installed and must have a free COM port (e.g.
COM1). Activate the terminal emulation program and check
that the port settings for the free COM port are: 19200 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control. The free COM
port must be connected via a special cable to the RS232 port
of the DVD recorder. This special cable will also connect the
test pin, which is available on the connector, to ground (i.e.
activate test pin).

Code number of PC interface cable: 3122 785 90017

Activation of Diagnostic Software

1. Pull the mains cord from the recorder and reconnect it
again (reboot).

5. To check if the hardware info is filled correctly, you can
execute nucleus 1228.

Nucleus 1228 info example

Figure 5-6b

In these cases, the boot EEPROM of the Digital Board does not
contain the required string with the hardware information. To
update the Digital Board with the correct string, nucleus 1226
must be executed.

See next section 'Diversity String Input'.
There can also be the next error message.

6. Exit the 'Terminal' program.

7. Reboot the DVD recorder to allow the software to start.

Enter "Y" to program a safe string. With this automatically
generated string the board will work in principle but it has to be
checked if all board settings were detected correctly.
