Mode to adjust the servo automatically in all items.

Normally, automatic adjustment is executed in this mode at the repair.

For further information, refer to “SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS” (see page 19).

SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT DISPLAY MODE

This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism control block and the power supply control block in the microcomputer detect it and record its cause as history in the nonvolatile memory.

By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault and determine its location.

Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the optical pickup has been used, and by comparing it with the total recording time at the time when an error occurred in the self- diagnosis result display mode, you can determine when the error occurred.

Clear both self-diagnosis history data and total recording time, if the optical pickup was replaced.
