General

Power requirements: 120 V AC, 60 Hz/ 110 to 240V AC, 50/60 Hz See page 1-1 for further information. Power consumption: 12 W/13 W See page 1-1 for further information. Dimensions (approx.): 255 mm (1/1/8 in.) (width/height/ depth) incl. projecting parts Mass (approx.): 2.3 kg (5 5/64 lb) Operating temperature: 5 C to 35 C (41 F to 95 F) Operating humidity: 25 % to 80 %

Audio characteristics

Frequency response: DVD VIDEO (PCM 96 kHz): 2 Hz to 44 kHz (1.0 dB)/DVD VIDEO (PCM 48 kHz): 2 Hz to 22 kHz (0.5 dB)/CD: 2 Hz to 20 kHz (0.5 dB) Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio): 115 dB (LINE OUT (L/R) AUDIO jacks only) Harmonic distortion: 0.003 % Dynamic range: DVD VIDEO: 103 dB/CD: 99 dB Wow and flutter: Less than detected value (0.001% W PEAK) The signals from LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks are measured. When you play PCM sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack are converted to 48 kHz sampling frequency.

The Test Mode allows you to make diagnosis and adjustment easily using the remote commander and monitor TV. The instructions, diagnostic results, etc. are given on the on-screen display (OSD).

6-3. SYSCON DIAGNOSIS

The same contents as board detail check by serial interface can be checked from the remote commander. On the Test Mode Menu screen, press [0] key on the remote commander, and the following check menu will be displayed.
### Syscon Diagnosis ### Check Menu Quit All Version Peripheral Servo Supply AV Decoder Video Audio

6-2. STARTING TEST MODE

Press the [TITLE], [CLEAR], [POWER] keys on the remote commander in this order with the power of main unit in OFF status, and the Test Mode starts, then DIAG START will be displayed on the fluorescent display tube and the menu shown below will be displayed on the TV screen. At the bottom of menu screen, the model name and revision number are displayed. Last Off at the lower right of screen indicates the information code concerning the last power off. To execute each function, select the desired menu and press its number on the remote commander. To exit from the Test Mode, press the [POWER] key.

Before starting the test, all addresses of RAM (IC303) are cleared to 0x0000. First, 0xA55A is written to the address 0x00000, and the address data are read and checked from addresses 0x00001 to 0x80000 while shifting 1 bit each. Next, the data at that address is cleared, and it is written to the address 0x00001, and read and checked in the same manner. This check is repeated up to the address 0x80000 while shifting the address data by 1 bit each. If data other than 0 is read at the addresses except written address, an error is given because all addresses were already cleared to 0. In this check, the error display pattern is different from that of other diagnosis; read data, written address, and read address are displayed in this order. However, the message uses same template, and accordingly exchange Address and Data when reading. The following display, for example,

In case of discord, written bit pattern and read data are displayed. If data where multiple bits are 1 are read, the bits concerned may touch each other. Further, if data where certain bit is always 1 or 0 regardless of written data, the line could be disconnected or shorted.

Also, if the read data is not 0xA55A, another error will be present. (5-5) ARP RAM Check Data write t read, and accord check Error 11: ARP RAM read data discord The program code data stored in ROM are copied to all areas of RAM (IC303) connected to the ARP through the bus, then they are read and checked if they accord. If the detail check was selected initially, the data are written to all areas and read, then the same test is conducted once again with the data where all bits are inverted between 1 and 0. If discord is detected, faulty address, written data, and read data are displayed following the error code 11, and the test is suspended.

The battery may not be charged to its fullest capacity when charged for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long time. The capacity recovers after being charged and discharged several times. Do not leave the battery pack in a car or direct sunlight, where temperature goes up above 60 C (140F). Do not expose to water.
