7. GENERAL INFORMATION

7.1DIAGNOSIS 7.1.1 TEST MODE

-Error Messages

If a CD is not operative or stopped during operation due to an error, the error mode is turned on and cause(s) of the error is indicated with a corresponding number. This arrangement is intended at reducing nonsense calls from the users and also for facilitating trouble analysis and repair work in servicing.

(1) Basic Indication Method

1)When SERRORM is selected for the CSMOD (CD mode area for the system), error codes are written to DMIN (min- utes display area) and DSEC (seconds display area). The same data is written to DMIN and DSEC. DTNO remains in blank as before.

2)Head unit display examples

Depending on display capability of LCD used, display will vary as shown below. xx contains the error number.

8-digit display

ERROR–xx

(2) Error Code List

6-digit display

ERR–xx

Code	Class	Displayed error code	Description of the code and potential cause(s)
10	Electricity	Carriage Home NG	CRG can't be moved to inner diameter.
			CRG can't be moved from inner diameter.
			→ Failure on home switch or CRG move mechanism.
11	Electricity	Focus Servo NG	Focusing not available.
			→ Stains on rear side of disc or excessive vibrations on REWRITABLE.
12	Electricity	Spindle Lock NG	Spindle not locked. Sub-code is strange (not readable).
			→ Failure on spindle, stains or damages on disc, or excessive vibrations.
		Subcode NG	A disc not containing CD-R data is found. Turned over disc are found,
			though rarely.
			→ Failure on home switch or CRG move mechanism.
		RF AMP NG	An appropriate RF AMP gain can't be determined.
			→ CD signal error.
17	Electricity	Setup NG	APC protection doesn't work. Focus can be easily lost.
			→ Damages or stains on disc, or excessive vibrations.
30	Electricity	Search Time Out	Failed to reach target address.
			→ CRG tracking error or damages on disc.
A0	System	Power Supply NG	Power (VD) is ground faulted.
			→ Failure on SW transistor or power supply (failure on connector).

Remarks: Mechanical errors are not displayed (because a CD is turned off in these errors). Unreadable TOC does not constitute an error. An intended operation continues in this case. A newly designed head unit must conform to the example given above.

Upper digits of an error code are subdivided as shown below:

1x: Setup relevant errors, 3x: Search relevant errors, 3x: Search relevant errors, Ax: Other errors.
