5-6-4. Auto Check This test mode performs C-REC and C-PLAY automatically for mainly checking the characteristics of the optical pick-up. To perform this test mode, the laser power must first be checked. Perform Auto Check after the laser power check and Iop compare. Procedure 1. Press the YES button. If LDPWR minicheck is displayed, it means that the laser power check has not been performed. In this case, perform the laser power check and Iop compare, and then repeat from step 1. 2. If a disc is in the mechanical deck, it will be ejected forcibly. DISC IN will be displayed in this case. Load a test disc (MDW74/GA-1) which can be recorded. 3. If a disk is loaded at step 2, the check will start automatically. 4. When XX CHECK is displayed, the item corresponding to XX will be performed. When 06 CHECK completes, the disc loaded at step 2 will be ejected. DISC IN will be displayed. Load the check disc (MD) TDYS-1. 5. When the disc is loaded, the check will automatically be resumed from 07 CHECK. 6. After completing to test item 12, check OK or NG will be displayed. If all items are OK, CHECK ALL OK will be displayed. If any item is NG, it will be displayed as NG:xxxx. When CHECK ALL OK is displayed, it means that the optical pick-up is normal. Check the operations of the other spindle motor, thread motor, etc. When displayed as NG:xxxx, it means that the optical pick-up is faulty. In this case, replace the optical pick-up. 5-6-5. Other Checks All the following checks are performed by the Auto Check mode. They therefore need not be performed in normal operation. 1. Load a continuously recorded test disc (MDW-74/GA-1). (Refer to 5-5. Using the Continuously Recorded Disc.) 5-6-6. Traverse Check Connection :

2.4 Party Responsibilities
The party requesting a video link will be responsible for a number of matters to ensure the smooth conduct of the videoconference. These responsibilities are detailed as follows: (1) It is the responsibility of the party or organisation requesting the video link to notify all conference participants of the details including but not limited to the venue, commencement time, duration and other relevant requirements or duties. Parties are requested to attend the site 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the video link so as to allow VCF operator to: a) test the audio and video reception; and b) obtain transmission details to be provided to the other site(s). For links to overseas site, parties should be mindful of the time differences between Hong Kong and the remote site and should provide such information to the court hearing the case as well as the Clerk of Court in the High Court. To address the impact caused by date and time zones difference for overseas connections, the requesting party may have to apply to court for special arrangement if the hearing is to be heard outside normal court sitting hours or office hours for the taking of the video conference. It is the responsibility of the party requesting the videoconference to coordinate the booking of the remote site. As a general practice, the other site, be that local or overseas, should dial in to the Technology Court unless there are any difficulties of transmission on the other site and prior settlement has been reached on the billing of ISDN connection usage with the local service provider against the requesting party. The Polycom ViewStation FX model operates on one to three ISDN lines. Please contact the Clerk of Court in the High Court of the Judiciary for the ISDN numbers. If the equipment at the remote site is not compatible with equipment in Technology Court, a gateway booking will be required at an extra cost. The gateway booking will be the responsibility of the party requesting the video link. This can be booked with an external service provider. Multimedia equipment are available at the Technology Court but have limitations on their use during video conferencing. It is advisable to arrange for related documents or medium to be sent to the appropriate parties prior to the actual taking of the videoconferencing.
