This set is a component of the MHC-S9D.
The MHC-S9D system configuration is as shown belo w , and there­fore it does not operate normally unless all four components are
connected.
In performing the repair, connect all components with the system
cables.
Note: The precaution to the users is described on the label stuck
on the back panel (DVD/video CD/CD player) and in the trouble­shooting section in the Operation Manual.

Notes on chip component replacement

• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-

aged by heat.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE
OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH

TEST MODE

ST-S9

Note: Use following buttons in the test mode.

no mark: Button of tuner unit (ST-S9)

*

: Button of amplifier unit (TA-S9D)

2

*

: Button of DVD/video CD/CD unit (DVP-S9)

[MC Cold Reset]

• The cold reset clears all data including preset data stored in the
RAM to initial conditions. Execute this mode when returning
the set to the customer.

Procedure 1:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the [DIGITAL]*1 button, press the

[DISPLAY] button.

3. The set is reset, and becomes standby state.

Procedure 2:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the both [PLAY MODE]*2 and x *2 buttons,

press the M *2 button.

3. The set is reset, and becomes standby state.

[MC Hot Reset]

• This mode resets the set with the preset data kept stored in the
memory. The hot reset mode functions same as if the power
cord is plugged in and out.

Procedure:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the both [STEREO/MONO] and [CINEMA

STUDIO C]*

3. The set is reset, and becomes standby state.

[Change-over the AM Tuning Interval]
(EXCEPT AEP, UK and Sauidi Arabia models)

• The AM tuning interval can be changed over 9 kHz or 10 kHz.

Procedure:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. Turn the [FUNCTION] *

the [TUNER/BAND] button to select the BAND “AM”.

3. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power OFF.

4. While pressing the [ENTER] button, press the ?/1 *1 button,

and the display on the fluorescent indicator tube changes to
“AM 9 K STEP” or “AM 10 K STEP”, and thus the tuning
interval is changed over.

[Change-over of VACS ON/OFF]

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the both [STEREO/MONO] and [CINEMA

STUDIO C]*

and VACS ON/OFF is change over.

buttons, press the [CINEMA STUDIO B] button,

[GC Test Mode]
Enter the GC Test Mode

Procedure 1:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the both [STEREO/MONO] and [CINEMA

STUDIO C]*

1

buttons, press the [CLOCK/TIMER] button.

3. LEDs and fluorescent indicator tube are all turned on of all
units.

Procedure 2:

1. Press the ?/1 *1 button to turn the power ON.

2. While pressing the both [PLAY MODE]*2 and x *2 buttons,
press the Z (DISC 1)*2 button.

3. LEDs and fluorescent indicator tube are all turned on of all
units.

Version Display Mode

Procedure:

1. Enter the GC test mode.

2. Each time the [TUNER MEMORY] or [DISC 1]*2 button is
pressed, microcomputer or mechanism deck version is
displayed of each unit.

3. Press the [TUNING +] or [DISC 3]*2 button to detail is displayed
the version.

Key Check Mode

Procedure:

1. Enter the GC test mode.

2. Press the [TUNING -- ] or [DISC 2]*2 button to set the key check
mode.

3. In the key check the mode, the fluorescent indicator tube
displays “K 0 J 0 V 0” . Each time a button is pressed, “K”
value increases. However, once a button is pressed, it is no
longer taken into account.

VACS Level Display Mode

Procedure:

1. Enter the GC test mode.

2. Press the

[TUNING +] or [DISC 3]*

2

button to display VACS

level on the fluorescent indicator tube.

Segment Check Mode

Procedure:

1. Enter the GC test mode.

2. Press the [ENTER] or x *2 button to set the segment check
mode.

3. In the segment check the mode. Each [ENTER] or x *
button is pressed, the fluorescent indicator tube displays is
switching variously.
