SERVICE INFORMATION 2. REMOVAL (transistor, diode, etc...)
2.1 Grasp the chip part with tweezers and melt the
solder of one lead.
1-1. HOW TO CHECK THE CRACKED CHIP PART
1. Apply heat to the soldered portions of chip part
TWEEZERS
using a soldering iron for about 2-3 seconds.
2. If the chip part is faulty, it will be broken or cracked. CHIP PART

Caution: Do not leave soldering iron on the PCB too SOLDERING

Note: Regarding intermittent faults
The main causes of these faults are poor
soldering and cracked chip parts.

Caution: Do not lift the chip part too high as damage
may occur to the PCB or the leads that are
still soldered on the PCB.
2.3 Simultaneously heat the solder of the two
remaining leads and lift part to remove.

1-2. HOW TO REPLACE THE CHIP PART

1. REMOVAL (RESISTOR, CAPACITOR, etc...)
1.1 Presolder the one side of soldering portion for chip
part and grasp the chip part by tweezers. SOLDERING

1.2 Melt the presoldered portion. And then remove the
chip part with a twisting motion while melting the
soldering portion of another side quickly.

tweezers, apply heat to the pre-soldered portions
using a fine tip soldering iron.
3.3 Solder the other side of the chip part.
3.4 Check you soldering.
(WITH SOLDERING IRON)
1. Using solder braid remove the solder from all pins of
the Flat-IC.
When you use the solder flux which is applied to all
pins of the Flat-IC, you can remove it easily.

2.5 Electrical Adjustment Procedures II

General Problems

1. Check voltage supplies: +5V, +12V, -12V and -26V

+12V
+5V

-12V
-26V

*** +12/-12V is for audio supply..

*** +5V is system voltage. 5v
*** -26V is for VFD display

2. check , 12.5MHz oscillator's output. (ref, point R45)

12 MHz MHz

3. Check CPU (ZR36705) reset IC's output. (ref. Point R55)

3.3V

This signal is used to reset the MCU.

Audio Problems

1. Check pin14, 16, 15 (BCLK, LRCIN, DIN) of U9 (WM8720) .These pins provide audio DAC

3.3v 3.3v

BCLK Is 2.1168M for VCD CD DA LRCIN Is 44.1K for VCD CD DA

2.304M for DVD 48K for DVD

3.3v

DIN
Note: The DIN pin's waveform is irregular since the input digital audio data is always changing.

2. Check U9 audio DAC's pin 12, 9 (V outL, V outR), the analogue audio signal should be observerd.

1V

ANALOGUE AUDIO

9
Video Problems

1. check U7 MPEG decoder's pin95, 93 for /HSYNC, /VSYNC signals. These two pins output horizontal and vertical
synchronous clock.

2. Check R93 for composite video output, if MPEG decoder is working correctly, analogue video signal can be
observed.
