Start with the power-on sequence. The power-on sequence is important for
identifying the section that does not start. Compare the sequence in the defective
unit to the correct sequence listed below in table 1. The step where the unit stops
working is where the problem is (or in the step just before). Testing the sensors is
the next diagnostic step (section 6) if the transport works but behaves out of
sequence. Section 2 locates the sensors. However access to the sensors for testing
is tricky but the trick is revealed in section 4 - tray removal. After repairs, section 5
shows how to align the gears for reassembly.

Although sensor failures cause the following symptoms listed in table 3, the more
common failure is an internally broken ribbon cable that carries the sensor signal to
the microprocessor.
To determine which is at fault, begin testing using figures 4 and 5 or order the cable
with the corresponding sensor. For example the motors (#6 & #7 in table 3) and
S9001 (#4) can be quickly checked with an ohmmeter at the CN2010/2011 cable end
(see figures 4 or 5). If the part tests bad bypass the cable and recheck the part right
at the part’s terminal.

Removing the tray to access the sensors and motor first requires removing the tray
trim, and then the front panel (not shown) before the tray assembly will come out.
Follow figure 2 for easy tray removal. CAUTION – metal chassis edges are sharp.
Quick Procedure:
1. Rotate the white Close Lock Gear / lever CW (clockwise) within the turntable
platter to unlock the tray. Pull the tray forward (towards yourself) until it stops.
2. From the bottom of the black tray, remove the front silver trim piece (not
shown).
3. Unplug the two front panel cables (CN2008 & CN2009) and remove the front
panel (not shown).
4. On the main board, remove the cable (CN2010) attached to the tray.
5. Move the rear white lever counter-clockwise (CCW) as shown in figure 2 and
at the same time
6. Release the two parallel tray stops (a and b) by pressing the larger tab
(closest to you) inward toward the center of the tray (figure 2).
7. Slide the tray out towards yourself to expose the sensors, motors, and belt.

Procedure:
1. Main black gear – Rotate the gear so that its hole is at the 5 o’clock position
and its line across the gear is horizontal as shown in figure 3. In this gear
position, the laser assembly is clamped.
2. White gear – Rotate the (now free moving) left white gear so that its top
molded in lines point towards the rear as shown.
3. Without crushing the tray’s ribbon cable, slide the tray halfway into the
mechanism.
4. Plug in the tray’s ribbon cable into CN2010. The cable’s contacts face
rearward.
5. Push the tray all the way in.

Control Unit - In the control unit, most parts are under the board. Access to test
areas for diagnosis is overcome by using the jumper wires on the top as test points.
Since test point jumpers are used, additional diagrams and pictures are used to
quickly locate the jumpers. The repair flow information is shown in figure 7. Control
unit repair starts on page 13.
Subwoofer Unit – All parts are accessible once the electronics is pulled from the
subwoofer speaker cabinet. Unscrewing the board from the metal frame and rotating
it 90 degrees permits operation if a ground wire is added (service position).
Subwoofer unit repair starts on page 17.

1. First prove the problem is in the control unit by cutting the W2344 jumper on the
top of the board (at location grid K7). Measure the voltage at W2156 / G8 at
power on. This cut disconnects most of the control unit’s protection into micro
IC2018.
• If the 9Vdc is present before shutdown, the problem is in the subwoofer
assembly and not in the control unit. Reconnect the jumper and go to the repair
information on the subwoofer (page 12).
• If the 9Vdc is present, and the unit does not shutdown the problem is in the
control unit. Shut off the unit and proceed to step 2.
• If the 9Vdc is absent, the problem is in the control unit. Refer to figures 9 and
10. Either the M9V source (Q2803) is missing or the 9Vdc is loaded down
(reduced).
Cut jumpers W2413 and W2154 one at a time to determine which load causes
the reduced or missing voltage. If cutting both jumpers does not restore the
missing 9V, the M+9V source is bad.
2. If the unit does not shutdown because you have compromised the protection
circuit (e.g. cut W2344), only keep the unit on to measure a test voltage. Monitor
the various voltages at these jumpers to determine which is incorrect: [The
jumper’s grid location follows the “W” jumper number.]

3. Except for the K9 (0V) measurement, if any of the voltages listed above is
missing, cut the (load) jumper and measure each of its ends. If the voltage is now
present at one end after the cut, its load is shorted. Trace down and troubleshoot the
Use the “Protect Paths to Micro IC2018” diagram (figure 9) to make sure that the
jumper is the load jumper that bridges the load and the source voltage before cutting.

Protection - Refer to figure 11. The protection monitoring circuitry in both of the
subwoofer (left) and control unit (right) feed the microprocessor IC2018 in the control
unit. If shutdown is triggered, the micro via the 25 pin umbilical cable opens the
subwoofer AC relay power relay, shutting off the power for both the control &
subwoofer [but standby voltage (SYS 6V) is still present]. Error code F61 may be
displayed just before power is lost.
In the subwoofer, the lines monitored for shutdown are:
• Speaker Balance – All 6 channels to the speaker must average 0Vdc +0.6Vdc
with or without audio or the unit will shut down.
• + 9Vdc balance – Both the positive and negative 9V power supplies must be
within 1.2V of each other or the unit will shut down.
• + 9Vdc loss – Missing 9V or excessive 9V load that brings the 9V line below
5Vdc will shut down the unit.
