Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

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:

set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV

programmes using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between

the picture quality may be poor.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,

sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no

loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

•) Name of the recording

If the TV station does not transmit a name, only the

channel number and time will be stored as the name

•) Length of the recording

•) Record type (Quality)

•) Date of the recording

•) Index picture of the recording

A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the 'Auto chapters' function is activated in the

5. Diagnostic Software

Diagnostic Software

EN 49DVDR80/0x1 5.

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

3. Player script interface for sets with Digital Board 1.5, Empress

4. Menu interface for sets with Digital Board 1.5, Empress

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 following display is shown: the counter counts down from the number of nuclei to be run before the test finishes. Example:

SET O.K.?

YES

To exit DEALER SCRIPT, unplug the power cord

Figure 5-1

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

5.2 Player Script Interface only for sets with Digital Board Chrysalis

5.2.1 Description

The Player script will give the opportunity to perform a test that will determine which of the DVD recorder's modules are faulty, to read the error log and to perform an endurance loop test. To successfully perform the tests, the DVD recorder must be connected to a TV set. 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 DVDR module) require that a DVD+RW disc is inserted. Only tests within the scope of the diagnostic software will be executed hence only faults within this scope can be detected.

5.2.2 Structure of the Player Script

The player script consists of a set of nuclei testing the hardware modules in the DVD recorder: the Display PWB, the Digital PWB, the Analogue In/Out PWB and the DVDR module. Nuclei run by the player test need some user interaction; in the next table this interaction is described. The player test is done in two phases:

• 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 information can be useful to determine any errors that occurred recently during normal operation of the DVD player.

• The loop test will perform the same nuclei as the dealer test, but it will loop through the list of nuclei indefinitely.

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).
