How to Use This Book
PurposeDVD players and camcorders have moved into the digital age where sig-nal routing is less important than IC communications. You can learn alittle about how ICs communicate and add to your service strategy forDVD player repairs by examining previous DVD player failures that haveoccurred across the USA.
Book StructureThis book is organized into five sections:
1. List of DVD Models categorized into generations2. Table of Contents
3. Modern Soldering Methods
4. Common Symptoms for Sony DVD Players:
First Generation
Second Generation
Third Generation
Fourth Generation
5. Service Bulletins
List of DVD Models categorized into generations
Locate the DVD player you are working on in the chart and note the gen-eration it falls in.
Modern Soldering Methods
Even though the technician has identified the defective part, the repaircannot be completed unless the old part is removed without damaging theboard and the new part installed without solder bridges. This skill canonly be acquired by following all the steps that other technicians havemastered.
Common Symptoms for DVD Players
DVD repairs across the USA were examined and repetitive symptomswere extracted. For each common symptom, a strategy was developedto determine which part has failed. This was done to each of the fourgenerations of DVD players.
Service Bulletins
The first page in this group contains a list of the DVD bulletins, a descrip-tion of each bulletin, and the models to which the bulletin pertains. Thislist is followed by the DVD service bulletins to date.
Using this Book1. Go to the “DVD Model List” before the Table of Contents.2. From the DVD Model List, find your DVD model and note the genera-
tion it falls under.3. Return to the Table of Contents to find the first, second, third or fourth
generation heading that corresponds to your DVD player.4. Match the symptoms of your DVD player to the ones listed.5. Go to the corresponding page for the troubleshooting information.
Mechanical problems like broken gears are not listed.
If your symptom is not listed, you do not have a common problem.

Modern Soldering Techniques
This section is an excerpt from the Sony videotape (p/n T-MODSOL-9) bythe same name. This document only shows how to remove and installmulti-pin ICs used on many Sony products. The removal of these finelead large-scale integrated circuits (LSI) requires modern methods. Afterreplacing the IC, checking each pin for solder bridges is essential to pre-vent IC damage.IC Removal - Which method?Choose one of three methods for removing the ICs based upon the den-sity of parts about the defective IC.
Cutting the IC’s leads in a high-density board is the best method for ICremoval. If there are many small parts about the defective IC the hot airand Chip Quick removal methods may desolder local components. If youchoose the chip quick method, keep solder to a minimum on the IC pins.
Use the CUT OUT IC removal method when thereare many parts surrounding the IC
IC Removal - Cut Out method
This method requires a minimum of tools to cut the legs off the IC andclean the board:
• Knife• cutters• dental pick• soldering iron• solder wick
Use a sharp knife blade each time you remove an IC because the knifewas not originally intended to cut metal. Break off the old blade segmentsof knife before cutting to expose a new sharp blade.
1. You must place the new blade at the legs where they meet the ICbody. Angle the blade into the body slightly to avoid slipping off the IClegs.
IC
Blade
2. Along the IC legs, hold the knife at a shallow 20 - 30 degree angle.3. Place your finger above the blade for control as you press down and
rock the blade down.
IC
20-30 degrees
4
4. You should apply enough pressure to shear off 4-5 legs as you rockthe blade while pressing down. DO NOT let the blade point touch theboard.
5. Reposition the blade back along the legs and repeat. Do not cut thelast leg off or you will lose control and the blade point will hit the board.Use cutters to nip these last IC legs or unsolder and lift the leg with adental pick. Remove the IC body.
6. Use a standard soldering iron to heat and push the legs off the lands.Push only in the direction of the lands so they are not damaged.
Wipe acrossthe land
IC Lands
7. Remove the solder on the lands using a solder wick looped about thesoldering iron for better control.
5IC Removal - Hot Air method
This method requires the following:
• Hot Air Controller• Desoldering Tips• Flux Pen• Tweezers
In the following steps you will use the Hot Air Controller to heat up all thepins while you lift the IC off the board with tweezers.
1. Apply flux from a pen to remove the oxide layer from the IC pins dur-ing heating. Removing the oxide establishes a uniform temperatureon all the IC pins for removal and prevents an IC leg from still beingattached to the land when lifting the IC. These low residue pens aremade by Kester and distributed by companies such aswww.mcmelectronics.com and www.newark.com.
2. If you cannot find a hot air tip that will cover the IC, attach a single1/8” (0.125”) diameter tip that will heat all the pins if you move the tiparound the IC pins.
3. Start at 0 air flow and maximum heat so the tip will warm up fast.
4. After warm up increase the air flow slightly (to #1 of 10) and positionthe hot air tip over the pins of the IC. Do not touch the IC with the tip.Count the nearby components and make sure they do not move awayby controlling the airflow. Insert tweezers at the corner of the IC.
5. Gently lift the IC with the tweezers.
6. Remove the solder on the lands using a solder wick looped about thesoldering iron for better control.
IC Removal - Hot Air method using butane torchThe hot air controller is effective, but expensive. The butane torch issimilar in performance and inexpensive (about $100). In Weller’s PyroPen,hot air comes from a controlled flame.
6
Put safety goggles on before using the butane torch. Circle the IC leadswith the torch flame and flip the IC over when the IC is loose.
IC Removal - Chip Quick MethodChip Quick is a low temperature solder that remains molten longer thanordinary solder, giving you time to unsolder the IC. Chip Quick is best forremoving medium to large scale ICs when there are few parts about theIC. This method takes about the same time as the hot air method andrequires about the same level of skill.
The Chip Quick package (P/N = T99856421) contains:
• Low Temperature Solder• Flux• Wick
1. Apply the Chip Quick flux to all the leads of the IC. (Medium size ICshown for removal).
2. Melt the Chip Quick solder along the IC leads. Keep the solder moltenby running your iron along the IC leads.
3. Insert tweezers and lift the IC up.
7
4. Remove the blobs of Chip Quick by heating and removing with a soldersucker.
5. The remaining Chip Quick is removed with a solder wick. Move thewick in the same direction as the lands of foil.
IC InstallationOnce the solder and bridges are cleaned off with a solder wick, the newIC can be installed. You must prevent static charges from damaging thenew IC by using a grounded wrist strap. The amount of static electric yougenerate depends upon the humidity level and the clothing worn that day.Some days you will not generate enough static electricity to damage thenew IC.
To solder all the IC leads without creating bridges, you need a constant tiptemperature soldering iron.
The constant tip temperature makes soldering uniform and increases thespeed of the soldering so you don’t have to resolder missed leads. Sincethese constant tip temperature irons have a 5-10 second warm-up timethere is no reason to leave these irons on when in use.
8
1. Whichever iron you use, clean the tip by dipping it into a cleaner ortinner. Kester and Multicore manufacture these. A dirty tip will causeyou to mis-solder some IC leads as you drag the solder across the ICpins.
2. Tin one land on the board, then position the IC over the lands.3. With the IC in place solder the lead to the tined land.
4. Check the IC position and solder another lead to hold the IC in place.
5. Apply flux from a pen to all the IC leads to stop solder bridges.
6. Using the magnifying glass, place the iron’s tip furthest away from youon the IC pins and apply enough solder for 10 lands. Using the flatpart of the iron, drag the solder blob down the pins in a side by sidemotion (zigzag pattern) allowing the solder blob to touch (heat) eachIC lead and land. Only a small amount of solder resides at each land.At first it looks at though the lead was not soldered.
9
7. After soldering all the pins, run a dental pick across the pins to see ifmovement reveals an unsoldered one.
9. Using a low flux solder means you do not have to clean the board offlux with a flux remover…
8. Most technicians forget to inspect for bridges after installing the IC.When power is turned ON, a bridge will take out the new IC or dam-age another related parts. Therefore it is important to inspect the pinsfor bridges before approving your own work.
10. Remove the excess flux by spraying the area lightly with flux remover.
11. Place a towel over the work and dab the flux off with the stiff bristles ofthe brush. This leaves the work clean without the cotton fibers leftoverhad you used a cotton swab.

First Generation DVD
The first generation Sony DVD player consisted of two models, the DVP-S3000 and the DVP-S7000. They housed separate laser assemblies toplay DVDs and CDs. Much of the video processing was done by discretemedium size ICs. Failures across the country have been very low sothere is not much feedback history.
Symptom 1: Intermittent loss of brightness in the pic-ture during PB
Cause: 1. Broken Video jack solder connection
2. A/V Decoder IC281 broke solder connection
3. A/V Decoder IC281 defective.
Repair Procedure
1. Check both video jacks for broken solder connections.2. Press down on IC281 when the intermittent occurs. Resolder all the
pins if the condition responds to movement. Use flux on the pins toprevent solder bridges and inspect the pins before powering the uniton.
3. If the problem appears thermal, cool off the IC to see if the brightnessreturns. Replace IC281.

First Generation DVD
The first generation Sony DVD player consisted of two models, the DVP-S3000 and the DVP-S7000.
Symptom 2: No color or colors changing in the pic-ture.
Cause: 1. X280 (66MHz) crystal near IC281 on the main board.
2. X003 (27MHz) crystal in the “can” on the main board.
Repair procedure
1. Turn the unit ON. The Xtals will start immediately. Check the 66MHz.crystal by placing a scope and frequency counter (using a X10 probe)on the crystal (corner nearest IC281) or on either side of R213 that isin series with the Xtal. If the signal is off frequency or below 0.9Vp-p,replace the crystal.
2. Perform the 27MHz free run adjustment by grounding TP025 and set-ting RV001 for 27MHz +100Hz at TP018.

First Generation DVD
The first generation Sony DVD player consisted of two models, the DVP-S3000 and the DVP-S7000.
Symptom 3: No DVD disc detected at start up. CDsmay PB OK.
Cause: Laser assembly or Spindle motor is at end of its life.
Repair procedure
You will check the DVD RF level and use that to determine if the laseroutput is sufficient to play back DVDs.
1. Check the DVD laser output at CN760/pin 1 on the MB board. Al-though there may not be an eye pattern because the DVD only startsto play, you should see RF at CN760/pin 1. Normally there is a 1.6Vp-p eye pattern at CN760/pin 1. The minimum operating RF level is0.9Vp-p. The CD RF test point is at a different location.
2. If the DVD RF level is above 0.9Vp-p, suspect the spindle motor. Eventhough the DVD disc spins, replace the spindle motor (P/N = 1-698-944-11). Often when the spindle motor is bad, the RF eye pattern isnot clear or the waveform squeezes and expands like a musical ac-cordion before shutting down.

First Generation DVD
The first generation Sony DVD player consisted of two models, the DVP-S3000 and the DVP-S7000.
Symptom 5: No PB or Picture freezes when playingparts on some dual layer (gold) discs.
Cause: 1. Laser getting weak.
2. ROM IC093 cannot PB marginal spec gold discs.
Repair procedure
You will measure the DVD RF level going to the servo (not video) stagesand use that level for making the laser performance judgement.
1. See service bulletin 47 to locate TP891 (same as CN886/pin 5). Lessthan 0.95Vp-p means you should replace the optical assembly. Alignthe unit for all three disc types (CD, DVD single and dual layer).
2. If the RF level is normal at approximately 1.5Vp-p, replace ROM IC093as in service bulletin 43R2 depending upon the model.
Alignment after laser replacement
The Tilt, focus, and Tracking adjustments are performed automaticallyfrom the test mode using the remote and test discs. After the test mode isaccessed and “drive automatic adjustment” is entered, you are promptedto load the first DVD disc for alignment. Afterwards the screen promptsyou to replace the disc with a dual layer DVD and then finally with a CD tocomplete the alignment. The procedure is as follows:
• Access the Test Mode by pressing the following buttons on the re-mote: Time, Clear, then Power.
• From the Test Mode Menu, select 1. Drive Auto Adjustment.• From the Auto submenu, select 0. All (discs – one at a time).• The screen will prompt you as to what disc to place on the tray and
what buttons to press to complete the alignment.

Second Generation DVD
The second generation DVD players consist of models DVP-S300, DVP-S500d, DVP-C600d, and DVP-S7700.
Symptom 1: No response to the Power ON button.
Cause: There are three common causes for this symptom.
1. A damaged power supply;2. A short on another board that causes no power supply output voltage;
or3. A defective front panel encoder (ref #165 in the DVP-S500d service
manual) preventing IC604 from reading the power ON button by lock-ing up its program so the unit may not turn ON (intermittent turn ON).
Repair Procedure:
The power supply runs all the time when 120VAC is input, producing E+5V. The +3.3V, +5V and +12V outputs are switched ON when the unit isturned ON. You first need to determine if the basic power supply is defec-tive.
1. Unplug the cable from the only connector on the power supply, CN201.Look for E+5Vdc at CN201/pin 6 (alternate test point is at PS312)from the power supply board. If there is no voltage, the power supplyis inoperative. The most common cause is a shorted main oscillatorMOSFET transistor, Q103, which has taken out the main fuse. Q103P/N = 9-880-437-01 which is a 2SK2798 for the USA models.If the new Q103 fails or there is still no output voltage, replace theassociated control parts Q101, Q102 and D104.
2. If the power supply does produce the E+5, the front panel rotary en-coder or a short in another board is suspected. The encoder is at-tached to a ribbon cable that plugs into CN103 of the front panel board.Unplug the encoder, plug in the power supply cable and press thepower ON button to verify the defect.
3. If the unit still did not power up, you may leave the rotary encodercable detached while you look for the short circuit that is preventing
your unit from responding to the Power ON button. This is becausethe front panel must be removed to reseat the encoder cable and it ismore important that you locate the problem. Either use your ohmmeter to locate a short at the power supply connector CN201 or re-peatedly press the power button while monitoring the output voltagesto see which one is missing:
CN201/pin 1 = +5.2Vdc
CN201/pin 2 = +5.2Vdc
CN201/pin 3 = Ground
CN201/pin 4 = +3.3Vdc
CN201/pin 5 = Ground
CN201/pin 6 = E5.Vdc
CN201/pin 7 = Ground
CN201/pin 8 = P Cont (input)
CN201/pin 9 = AU +12Vdc
CN201/pin 10 = AU Ground
CN201/pin 11 = AU –12Vdc
CN201/pin 12 = -12Vdc
CN201/pin 13 = Ground
CN201/pin 14 = Motor +12Vdc
CN201/pin 12 = Motor Ground
Use the +3.3V and 5V distribution diagrams in this book (symptom 2) tolocate the shorted IC.

Second Generation DVD
The second generation DVD players consist of models DVP-S300, DVP-S500d, DVP-C600d and DVP-S7700.
Symptom 2: Powers OFF two seconds after turn ON
Cause: There are two causes for this symptom –
1. An internal IC short will load down a power supply voltage. This re-moves the voltages to the other ICs and communications end. OnceIC communications end, Syscon shuts down the DVD player becauseit senses a defect.
2. At power ON the laser must be detected at home position or the unitwill detect a malfunction and shut down. If the sled motor is frozen,the laser will not return to home.
Repair Procedure:
If the power supply board makes a chirping noise when you press thepower button, an output is being loaded down. Measure the output volt-ages to find out which one. The most common shorted ICs are:
2nd Generation Players - Shorted ICs
Function IC # Ref # in DVP-S500d
Large Gate Array (LGA) CX8728Q IC804
Audio DSP CX8730R IC506
If the power supply is OK, the sled may be defective on these older units.Remove the lid that houses the mechanism and slide the laser away fromhome at the spindle motor. At power ON, the laser should travel to thespindle motor (home) then move outward. If home is not detected, thelaser assembly will incorrectly remain where it is and the unit will shutdown. The sled motor assembly is P/N = X-394-713-71.

Second Generation DVD
The second generation DVD players consist of models DVP-S300, DVP-S500d, DVP-C600d and DVP-S7700.
Symptom 3: Plays CD but not DVD discs
Cause: There are three common reasons that the player will only PB CDs:
1. The laser beam must be perpendicular to the disc. This is criticalwhen reading fine pitched DVD discs, but not for CDs. Therefore ifthe tilt servo is not working, CDs will still play but not DVDs. Inspectthe Laser base unit for a crack in the plastic preventing tilt.
2. The laser assembly may have low output. As the laser output de-creases with use, the RF eye pattern decreases in amplitude causingskipping, and finally no DVD playback.
3. The spindle motor must turn faster when playing a DVD. As the motorbrushes wear down, the torque at the high speed cannot be main-tained and the DVD does not reach the normal operating speed.
4. Corrupt EEProm data.
Repair procedure
1. Inspect the plastic base unit holder (DVP-S500d ref. #263) for cracksthat prevent the laser assembly from tilting.You can also operate the tilt mechanism from the test mode undersection “Manual Adjust 2” for inspection. With the player OFF, pressthe remote control TITLE, CLEAR, and then the POWER button toenter the test mode. Using the number buttons, select 2 Drive ManualOperation, 5 Manual Adjust, then 2 Tilt Offset. After remembering theoriginal offset number, use the arrow buttons to change the offsetnumber and drive the tilt motor. As the motor turns, the laser assem-bly should be mechanically tilting. Return to the original offset numberbefore exiting (exit by pressing the power off button).
2. On the MB-78 board monitor, check connector CN303/pin 1 for a RF(eye pattern) signal when trying to play a DVD. The normal signallevel here is 1.2Vp-p. As the laser ages, this level decreases. Skip-ping occurs when the level drops to approximately 0.9Vp-p. No disc is
detected when the RF level drops lower than 0.9Vp-p. Even when nodisc is detected at slightly below 0.9Vp-p, a DVD may still play in thetest mode, producing only a low amplitude eye pattern. No pictureappears when the servos are individually (manually) turned on for PBin the test mode. See the Test Mode section of this book for furtherinformation.
3. If the laser assembly tilts and the RF starts at 1Vp-p (minimum) be-fore shutdown, the spindle motor could be worn. Replace the spindlemotor if the RF signal is above 1Vp-p (laser is OK). Sometimes adefective spindle motor shows up in the test mode when the unit in-correctly identifies a 12cm DVD as an 8cm disc when attempting to dothe DVD drive adjustments. Enter the test mode and select: 2 DriveManual Operation, 0 Disc Type, and 5 Disc Type Check.
4. The EEProm data may be defective but can be reset to default userand service values from the Test Mode. After the default values areentered, the player must be aligned. The procedure for resetting theEEProm is as follows:
• Access the Test Mode by pressing Title, Clear, then Power buttons.• From the Test Mode Menu, press 2. Drive Manual Operation• From this sub menu select 7. Check for the memory access.• Select 1. EEProm Default Set• Press RETURN several times to go back to the initial Test Mode Menu
to begin automatic alignment.• Select 1. Drive Auto Adjustment and follow the directions to adjust tilt,
focus and tracking sections.

Symptom 4: No playback -• Disc stops spinning, DVD logo on screen; or• Disc stops spinning, Dark screen (no video), no initial DVD picture logo, no sound.
Cause: There are two common causes for this no PB symptom -
1. ARP (IC806 in DVP-S500d) CXD1865R defective or
2. A/V Decoder (IC203 in DVP-S500d) L64020-D-QC-27 defective.
Repair procedure
1. Insert DVD and monitor the RF test point on the MB board (CN303/pin 1). If there is a clear eye pattern at start up, the ARP IC806 mustbe OK to support the servo system that produces this eye pattern.The A/V decoder must be causing the dark screen. Replace the A/Vdecoder IC203.
2. If RF is present but NO eye pattern is obtained at the CN303/pin 1 testpoint, the servos are not functioning. If the RF is at least 1Vp-p, sus-pect the ARP IC806.

Third Generation DVD
The third generation DVD players consist of models DVP-S330, DVP-S530, DVP-S550 and DVP-C650d.
Symptom 1: Green power light does not stay on.Cause: There are three common causes for the unit returning to thestandby (power OFF) state. Follow the repair procedure to determinewhich one is the cause.
1. A defect in the power supply causes a loss of power to one or moreICs, resulting in no communications. When there are no communica-tions, Syscon shuts down the player.
2. Similarly, if an IC in the unit shorts the power supply, there will also beno communications and the unit will shut OFF.
3. Incomplete communications between an IC and Syscon is considereda defect and shutdown is the protection.
Repair Procedure:
Either a short circuit or a communications failure in an IC is what is caus-ing the problem.
Short Circuit
1. Check all the output voltages from the power supply. If all the volt-ages are present, go to “Communications Failure”.
2. If any voltages are 0V, unplug the MB-85 board to see if you canisolate the short. The power supply will regulate unloaded.
3. A short on the +12 volt line means either IC801 or IC802 is defectivesince they are the only ICs (on the MB85 board) that use +12V. Re-move IC802 and if it is shorted, check the sled motor by applying a3Vdc from an external power supply to see if it will run.
4. A short on the 3.3 volt line means any one of a number of ICs on theMB-85 board is bad. 3.3 volts feeds each IC through a three connec-tion inductive “FL” filter chip component. This is shown on the 3.3VDistribution Diagram. Not all the ICs listed are used in every DVDplayer. The FL filter can be removed by applying excessive solder to
one end and bringing it around to unsolder the remaining connec-tions. Chip Quick does this best. Lift the hot filter off with tweezers.Although any IC can short, the more commonly shorted IC is IC701,fed by B+ filter FL701.
Communications Failure
There is an initial communications between IC201, IC202 and IC205/6 atpower ON. Once these three ICs have talked, Syscon IC202 communi-cates with the remaining ICs on the serial and parallel bus. Syscon useschip select pulses to select an IC, communicate with it and repeats thispattern with the next IC. Since the pattern is the same, we can use thechip select signal to determine which IC is not communicating.
1. Resolder IC205/6 and recheck the unit for operation.2. If the unit works when ON but doesn’t turn ON consistently when the
power button is pressed, perform S/B 62R1 to insure reliable reset ofthree ICs on the MB board.
3. IC202 sends chip select pulses to ICs on the MB-82/85 board in theorder listed in the chart. If IC202 gets no acknowledgement from anIC, the next chip select pulse will not output and the unit will shutdown. Therefore if a chip select pulse is missing at power ON, the ICbefore it on the chain is not acknowledging. Check each chip selectsource at DVD power ON with a scope and determine which signal ismissing. Suspect the previous IC on the list. For example, if chipselect XCS (#6) was missing, the A/V decoder IC401 may be defec-tive. Replace IC401.

394. Sometimes when a chip select signal is missing, the IC it points to is
actually not defective. Usually a communications failure between IC202and the remaining ICs on the serial or parallel bus is within the MB-82/85 board. This could be caused by lack of power to non-communicat-ing IC or it could just be defective.
Another possibility is that one of the programs in that IC cannot finishbecause of a mechanical defect, so there is no acknowledgementsignal to complete the communications. For example, if IC701 is send-ing a sled drive move signal but the IC fails to receive a sled homeindication after a fixed time (“time out”), IC701 will not acknowledgeIC202.
Syscon IC202 will tell IC201 to shut down. In this failure example sleddriver IC802 is defective so the sled cannot move. Since IC701 is thelast chip in the chain, all the chip select signals are present. If the unitshuts down with all the chip select pulses present, IC701 is not send-ing the final acknowledgment signal so the problem is at IC701 or itsslave ICs (IC801 or IC802). In this case, use the test mode to manu-ally drive the focus, tracking and sled, tilt motors.
5. Inspect IC205/6 and check to see if this IC is one of the few units thatneeds to be upgraded in the service bulletin # 61 for a 0.5-second lipsync delay. This upgrade has no relation to the green to red powerlight symptom.

Symptom 2: Audio Distortion after warm up
Cause: 1. Failure in A/V Decoder IC401; or
2. Failure in Audio DSP IC501
Repair Procedure
Often the audio distortion occurs after the unit gets warm, appearing inboth front L & R channels but less in both rear AC-3 channels.
1. To determine which IC is defective, freeze the heat sink above IC401on the MB board when the problem appears. If the problem does notgo away, IC501 on the bottom of the board is defective.

Symptom 4: Unit goes back to standby mode duringplayback or after being left ON in the stop mode.Pressing the MB board makes the unit remain onlonger.
Cause: Broken solder connection at a major IC stops the communica-tions chain and the unit goes into protection by powering OFF (standby).
Repair Procedure
1. Remove the capacitors around IC401 for clearance and resolder allthe pins. If you created solder bridges, you have not applied liquidflux (Kester flux pen) at the foot of the IC legs or you touched the legsclose to the IC body with the iron. Remove the bridges with thin bradsolder wick. Inspect each pin carefully, then remount the electrolyticcapacitors.

to return to default values by pressing the Clear button.After you return the data to default levels you need to perform theautomatic adjustments* with test discs. See Automatic Adjustments.
2. See service bulletin 58R1 to see if the DVD player has the older ROMIC205 on the MB board. If it does, replace it with the larger IC206 (P/N 8-759-594-81). To avoid cold solder connections when installingthe new IC, clean the unused foil pads with an eraser and apply fluxbefore soldering the new IC206 on the board. Afterwards perform theautomatic adjustments with all discs (CD, DVD - SL single and DVD –DL dual layer). *
3. If the new IC206 ROM is already on the board according to servicebulletin 58R1 (MR27v1602d-xx, 2XX-1.95 version or greater), a de-fective A/V Decoder IC401 must be causing the picture problem.Replace IC401.
* Automatic Adjustments
After replacing the Laser assembly, EEProm IC201 or Flash ROM IC205/IC206, enter the test mode using the remote control and perform the “DriveAuto Adjustment”. This alignment method uses three standard test discsone at a time to adjust the following:
• DVD laser tilt angle for maximum RF level• Focus gain and offset voltages to insure reliable RF data• Tracking gain and offset voltages to locate data quicklySee the Test Mode section of this book for more details.

Symptom 2:1. Goes to Standby (red light) after powering ON.
2. Goes to Standby (red light) while playing a disc.
Cause: Syscon IC102 failure or there is nothing wrong.
Repair Procedure
1. First press the front panel power button. The power light should changefrom red (standby) to green (ON), then back to red. (No light ⇒ redlight ⇒green light ⇒ red light). While the red light (standby) is ON,press either the PLAY or TRAY OPEN/CLOSE button. If the unit pow-ers ON again there is nothing wrong with the unit. This is normal. Theunit entered the standby state after pressing the latching front panelpower switch. Think of the front panel ON switch as a master powerswitch. The DVD player will not respond to the remote unless thismaster switch is ON (depressed).
2. If pressing the PLAY or TRAY button does not power the unit back up,check for B+ by looking for Xtal activity (X101 = 2.4Vp-p, 1.6Vdc) atIC102. Xtal activity means there is B+ but does not mean the entireIC102 is OK. Replace IC102.

Symptom 3: Pressing the tray open button does notcause the tray to open.
Cause: Syscon IC102 failure.
Repair Procedure
If the display showed “STANDBY” after pressing the front panel powerbutton, the power supply was not loaded down by a short circuit and it isOK.
Tray driver IC402, its controller, IC404 or SYSCON IC102 must be caus-ing no tray movement. Replace IC102 first.

Symptom 4: Multiple Symptoms -1. No chroma from the S video output jack; or
2. No component video (Y, B-Y, R-Y) output. The com-posite video output is OK in both cases.
Cause: Output Video Buffer IC101 failure
Repair Procedure
In the following steps you will remove the MB board from under the mecha-nism deck and use the jig to operate the board and the mechanism out-side the unit. This way you can check the video signal entering the videobuffer and verify IC101’s defect.
1. You can damage the laser when unplugging the laser assembly. Toprevent this, either short out the laser diode with a solder blob on theribbon cable or use an anti static mat with a wrist strap.
2. Set up the jig (P/N J-6090-100A) to operate the MB board outside theunit (you have to take out the MB board anyway to replace IC101 so itwill take an extra two seconds to check the signal and prove IC101 isthe cause of this symptom).
3. Press power ON, insert a disc and press the play button to keep theunit powered ON.
4. Check IC101’s input signals at the extender board’s CN103 pins:
Signal Level * Test point name CN103/pin
Composite video 1Vp-p JL103 25
S Video - Chroma 0.6Vp-p JL104 21
S Video - Luminance 0.9Vp-p JL105 17
Component Y 0.9Vp-p JL107 4
* Typical level taken from four sample movies +0.1V.
If these input signals are present at the test points of the extender boardbut not at the rear panel jacks, replace buffer IC101 on the bottom of theAI board.
Alternate Test ProcedureYou can also check for chroma leaving the MB board at IC502/pin 77without disassembly. IC502 is located to the right of the tray/laser assem-bly and accessible while the player is fully assembled.

1. Turn the DVD player ON by pressing the power button. The playerwill enter Standby (red light). Press tray open or play to power the unitON. The power supply will remain ON and the front panel display willlight.
2. Within two seconds after a communications check is completed, thecolor DVD logo will appear on the TV screen. The logo is shortlyreplaced by an “Insert Disc” message on a blue stripe. If the messageis in B&W, place your scope probe at the left side of R506 behindIC502. If there is signal (chroma) present, Video Buffer IC101 on thebottom of the AI-17 board is defective.

Fourth Generation DVD
The fourth generation DVD players consist of models DVP-S350, DVP-S560, DVP-S560, DVP-S570, DVP-C660d and DVP-C670d.
Symptom 5:Picture is distorted or there are Digital blocks thatappear during the movie.
Cause: A/V Decoder IC502
Repair procedure
In older DVD players this symptom is characteristic of a weak laser. Inthis newer DVD player model, this picture-related symptom is caused bythe A/V Decoder defect. Much MPEG unscrambling now takes place inone very complex A/V decoder instead of discrete parts, making it easierto relate a picture problem to one part. Replace IC502.

Test Mode - Third Generation
The test mode allows you to diagnosis problems and make adjustmentsusing the remote commander and TV monitor. The instructions and re-sults are given on the TV screen (OSD).
Test Mode Access1. Plug in the DVD player,2. Select DVD on the remote,3. Aim the remote at the DVD player; and4. Press the TITLE, CLEAR and POWER buttons one after another.The red standby light changes to green and the blue Dolby Digital light willcome on. The display will momentarily flash DIAG START as IC202 re-trieves the program from the flash ROM IC205.
ExitTo leave the test mode, turn the power off.
TestsThe initial test mode menu shows seven options. Selecting a numberenters that option level. You can navigate through each menu of thatlevel using the remote’s PREV or NEXT keys. The RETURN key bringsyou to the previous level.
0. Syscon DiagnosisThis is a communications test between IC202 and IC on the parallel busand is similar to the quicker checks that occur during power ON. If the unitpowers on, it will usually pass this check.
Writing information in and reading the same information checks most ICs.When the two match, the IC is deemed good. This testing occurs whenthe TV screen changes to a blue background. The IC is good if the origi-nal menu reappears.
In this check, the remainder of the video IC401 is tested by producing avideo patterns to confirm operation. The audio IC501 is instructed toproduce individual audio tones to each channel.
In checking the A/V Decoder (CDX1930 IC401), the OSD words“CHG_COLCON” mean this part of the IC is OK.
1. Drive Auto AdjustmentAutomatically plays the disc and reloads new data into EEProm IC201.This is used when memory IC201 or the optical assembly is replaced.Test discs are required for these adjustments. The Super Audio CD(SACD) procedure is in this generic test program, but this DVD playercannot play SACDs.
2. Drive Manual AdjustmentServo adjustments stored in EEProm IC201 can be altered manually. Thisoperation is useful if you want to determine if the player can identify thedisc type as the first step in playing the disc.

Within the Manual Adjustment is a Servo Control subsection that permitsyou to turn on each servo separately for observation. You can also playthe disc and observe an eye pattern when all servos are on (sled does notcome on in PB).
3. Mechanical AgingThis mode cycles the tray in, and then momentary plays the disc for iden-tification. The number of cycles and the disc type found is displayed onthe TV screen.
4. Emergency HistoryThis is the most valuable diagnostic information in the test mode. Thelast failure is recorded in EEProm IC201 and displayed on the TV. Tencodes may all pertain to one failure that affects various parts of the DVDcircuitry that is monitored. An emergency code list is found in the servicemanual.

Perform step 3 if steps1 & 2 do not work ordo not apply.
Some units require steps 1, 2, and 3 to be performed.
Symptom: Unit intermittently powers off two seconds after powering ON.
In this bulletin you will Resolder IC206 and change parts on the MB and front panel Fl boards depending upon theserial number of the unit to insure a reliable power ON reset of key ICs. If your model falls outside of the serialnumbers listed below or if the problem persists after the changes, perform the countermeasure in step 3. You mustperform all the parts of the step.
Step 1• On the MB board, locate Flash ROM IC206.• Resolder the row of pins 23-44 at the bottom of the board.• Inspect for bridges before powering the unit.
xxii
Step 2Changes must be made to both the MB and FL boards:MB BoardOn the back of the MB board replace the following resistors:• R212 from 220 ohms to 0 ohms (1-216-864-11)• R226 remove 10k ohms resistor (open circuit)• R755 from 5.6k to 10k ohms (1-216-833-11)
These last three changes increase the reset level from IC207 to the front panel micro IC201, and ServoDSP IC701. No parts have to be ordered to make these three changes.
FL Board:Change two resistors on the back of the board:• R251 - change from 1k to 120 ohms (1-216-027-91)• R252 - change from 1k to 33 ohms (1-216-013-91)
These two resistors are located in different places depending upon the model.
For models DVP-S330, DVP-S530d and DVP-550d:
xxiii
Step 3 resets the A/V decoder IC401 sooner by taking the reset from an earlier location in the reset chain (directlyfrom reset IC207/pin 4).
For models DVP-C650d and DVP-CX850d:
Step 3On the MB board make the following changes:• Remove R412 (open circuit)• If the last two digits on the board are –11 to – 13 or –21 to –23, add a wire between one side of R412 and
CN006/pin 1 (if the board ends with –14 or –24 do not add the wire).
