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
D
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 120V
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 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.

LABEL CHECK
IMPORTANT
THIS PIONEER APPARATUS CONTAINS
LASER OF CLASS 1.
SERVICING OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS
SHOULD BE DONE BY A SPECIALLY
INSTRUCTED PERSON.
1. The ON/OFF(ON:low level,OFF:high level) status of the
CLAMP signals for detecting the loading state are detected
by the drive CPUs, and the design prevents laser diode
oscillation when the CLAMP signal turns OFF.
In normal operation, if no disc is clamped, the laser diode
oscillation is disabled.
However, the interlock does not always operate in the test
mode.
2. When the cover is opened, close viewing of the objective
lens with the naked eye will cause exposure to a Class 3A
laser beam.

7.1.3 FIRMWARE DOWNLOADING METHOD
[Purposes]
A
1. When the main board is replaced, the firmware versions for the system control computer, drive, IR microcom puter and the TUFL microcomputer do not match, and operations of the unit may be destabilized.
To match the versions for the above four, firmware downloading is necessary in the following two cases:
1 After the model setting
2 When NG is displayed on the first screen (version information, etc.) of Service mode
3 After changing MAIN Assy, JACB Assy or Drive Assy
4 After changing HDD (downloading the EPG Library (program code) to HDD)
[Notes]
When downloading is disabled, at ON time, usually "HDD data is not correct" is displayed on screen and "HDD
ERR" on the FL . The EPG program is not booted up.
B
2. Rewriting the firmware to the latest version may ameliorate the symptoms claimed by the customer.
There are the following two methods for downloading: disc download and serial download

• How the data on cumulative HDD-on time are processed in memory
Storage place:
FLASH ROM
Timing of referring to the data on cumulative HDD-on time:
When the power is turned on, fails, the FLASH ROM is referred to.
Timing of updating the data on cumulative HDD-on time:
While the HDD is on, the data on cumulative HDD-on time in the RAM is updated every 3 seconds, and every time
updating is executed the data are stored in the Backup SRAM. When the power is turned off, the data are stored in
the FLASH ROM.
• How to clear the data on cumulative HDD-on time
FLASH ROM:
When the HDD Identification Setting is performed, the data on cumulative HDD-on time are automatically cleared.
The HDD Identification Setting is automatically performed when the CPRM setting is performed on the CPRM
setting screen (to display the CPRM setting screen, press the ESC then the STEREO keys).
Notes: • The data on cumulative HDD-on time are not cleared when resetting to factory-preset values is performed.
• The data on cumulative HDD-on time are not cleared when the system-control computer software is

Notes
]
• For correct measurement of items 1 to 4 indicated in the display below, leave the unit at room
temperature (25°C) for a while before turning it on, and do not load a disc.
• For RF measurement (item 5), it is recommended to use the Test disc (GGV1025).
As the RF level differs depending on the characteristics of the pickup from product to product, it cannot
be used for judging degradation of the LD. Use the RF level as a rough guide to know the difference
between before and after lens cleaning.

If the reception is bad, Drop, *Corr, *Errs will be a large percentage of correctly received packets. The TV
Guide data feed has built in redundance, small numbers of errors are expected. In this product, the
CurrChan column will always be zero, there is no data collection while powered on. The HostChan
column values represent all packets received from the TV Guide setup host. The Since Cold colmn
represent all packets received from any host since the last System Reset.
