WARNING
This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Health & Safety Code Section 25249.6 - Proposition 65
This service manual is intended for qualified service technicians; it is not meant for the casual do-ityourselfer. Qualified technicians have the necessary test equipment and tools, and have been trained
to properly and safely repair complex products such as those covered by this manual.
Improperly performed repairs can adversely affect the safety and reliability of the product and may
void the warranty. If you are not qualified to perform the repair of this product properly and safely, you
should not risk trying to do so and refer the repair to a qualified service technician.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the
continued protection of the customer and service
technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Measure leakage current to a known earth ground
(water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage
current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or
equivalent between the earth ground and all exposed
metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals,
screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug
the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120 V
AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS
OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE
RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.
2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance
have special safety related characteristics. These are
often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection
afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using
replacement components rated for voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are
identified by marking with a > on the schematics and on
the parts list in this Service Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the
parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire,
or other hazards.
Product Safety is continuously under review and new
instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest
information, always consult the current PIONEER Service
Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of,
PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal
charge from PIONEER.

• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.
1. The MAIN PWB-S needs to be replaced as a whole unit.
2. If the MAIN PWB-S is replaced, perform the section "8.2 UPDATING O F T H E FIRMWARE" and confirm the version:
it is necessary to update to the latest version if the MAIN PWB-S version is old.

Is the 12V power supplied to pins (2, 3 and 4) of P9001 inside
MAIN PWB-S (AT_12V) while AC is ON and the power source
is OFF?
Disconnect the P9001 connector on the MAIN PWB-S after
turn the power off, then do not pins 2 and 5 of P9001 on the
MAIN PWB-S short-circuit?
Is the 12V power supplied to pins (2, 3 and 4) of CN901
on the POWER Assy (AT_12V) while AC is ON and the power
source is OFF?
Check between CN901 on the POWER Assy and P9001 on the MAIN PWB-S
and their peripheral circuits. (e.g. nearly detached connector, disconnection)

disc-related factors)
1 Check any dirt on discs
2 Check whether the problem is disc-specific
(e.g. Pirated edition)
3 Replace and check BD drive
(In case discs cause the problem)
1 Check any dirt on discs.
2 Check whether the problem is disc-specific.

• If played-back images of only a particular disc do not appear to be properly in 3D, check the
3D effects of this player with other 3D discs.
Three-dimensional effects of discs may differ from disc to disc.
• For 3D display of 3D materials that have been recorded in the Side-by-Side system, the 3D
setting is also required on the customer's TV. Request the customer to confirm the 3D setting
