This unit includes the features described in the Service Manual in addition to the following 5 test modes (Service Modes).

  1. F1 Mode: LCD check, servo system operation (normal CD Service Mode)
  2. F2 Mode: Data access operation (CD-ROM readout operation check)
  3. F3 Mode: Keyboard check
  4. F4 Mode: Self diagnosis, commander mode (Connection and operation check of each LSI, partially used for electrical adjustments.)
  5. F5 Mode : Debug mode (This mode is not applicable for service use.)
    This supplement contains startup procedures of the test modes, as well as descriptions and procedures of the F1-F4 modes to assist in repair inspections.

TEST MODE STARTUP PROCEDURE

There are 2 methods to enable the startup of the test mode of the unit.

Multiple button operation method

  1. Press the STOP button to set the POWER OFF.
  2. While pressing the 3 ALPHABET/NUMBER F1 buttons, press the (POWER ON) button.
  3.  Sony Bus Mode will be displayed on the LCD screen. Press function keys F1 – F4 and enter the appropriate mode.

Solder bridge short circuiting method

  1. Solder and short circuit the Service Mode on the main board with the external power supply removed (power is not supplied to the unit). Refer to the Service Guide for more details on the position of the tap.
  2. Plug the external power supply.
  3. Press the PLAY button to enter the F1 mode. After startup of the test mode, function keys F1 – F4 can be used any time. When entering another mode or restarting the same mode, press the appropriate function key of the mode. The current mode will be aborted and the selected mode will be entered.

EXITING THE TEST MODE

Exit the test mode by pressing the reset switch located under the main unit or by removing the external power supply. Remove the soldered tap which was short circuited during the test mode startup.

F1 MODE

The Fl mode performs the LCD dot check (FONT ROM check) and servo system operation check.

LCD check
When this mode is entered, the following 5 patterns (white-black—horizontal line-vertical line-Kanji) are displayed repeatedly on the LCD screen at every 3- second interval. The current display on the screen is paused by pressing the YES key on the keyboard and released by pressing the NO key. When the Kanji is displayed without any distortion, it is assumed that the FONT ROM check turned out OK. (The FONT ROM check is also performed in the F4 mode.)

The servo system operation check will still be performed when the connectors are removed and the LCD screen is not displaying.

Servo system operation check

  1. When the button is pressed, the optical pickup moves to the inner or outer periphery. When the 3 servo is turned ON and this operation is  executed, the tracking servo and threading servo willturn OFF.
  2. When the key is pressed, the unit will enter CLV-S (With draw mode) while focus searching. When there is no disc, the spindle motor will turn and perform focus search.
  3. When the operations described in step 2 are performed, press the key once more. Muting will be cancelled and the tracking servo, threading servo and CLV-A (servo during PLAY) will be turned ON.
  4. PLAY will start when the operations in step 2 and 3 are performed. At this point, if S806 (door OPEN switch) is disabled, sound will not be emitted due to  the muting operation, but it will be enabled bypushing the button again.
  5. All servos (focus, tracking, threading and spindle) will be turned OFF when the key is pressed.
  • Use chucking plate assembly X-4924-729-1 and insert an 8cm CD when performing the above operation with the CD cover open. (Do not use radio cassette recorder chucking plate tool X-4918-255-1.)

F2 MODE

The F2 mode performs a CD-ROM data readout operation check. A hexadecimal data readout is displayed on the screen. The readout data is retrieved from the disk which is inserted in the electronic book player. The data is read out from an assigned location based on absolute time input designated by the user. The following screen is displayed when the unit enters the F2 mode.

Initial Screen

Press YES , the electronic book will read out the data and display a 1- line 8-byte hexadecimal or ASCII-coded character after “Data:” readout. The CD-ROM operation check is OK when the following is displayed without any error.

The  keys contain preset values. Pressing these keys will access and display the data from the preset point. The NO key initializes the input display section and enables time setting with the left and right cursors.

F4 MODE

The F4 mode contains eight additional check functions (two of which are not applicable for service use) that are assigned to the keyboard. These can be roughly divided into two blocks: self-diagnosis and commander.

Initial Screen

SONY-DD-1EX-Data-Discman-Repair-Retrostuff-fig-17

LCD controller (IC811) interface check
When 2 is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen,  data is written to the display memory (IC810) via LCD controller (IC811) and read out to check whether a normal value is returned. “OK” will be displayed when the unit operates normally; “NG” will be displayed when the unit malfunctions. Check the connection between system controller (IC801), extension 1/0 (IC 802) and LCD controller (IC402) as well as the connection between LCD controller (IC401) and display memory (IC402). IC401 and IC402 may be possibly defective.

CD-ROM decoder (IC607) interface check
When X is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen, data is written to the register in the CD-ROM decoder (IC607) and read out to check whether a normal value is returned.
“OK” will be displayed when the unit operates normally; “NG” will be displayed when the unit malfunctions. When NG, IC607 may be possibly defective or check the connection between extension I/O (IC802) and the CD-ROM decoder (IC607).

Main RAM (IC804) check
When C is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen, a 55 H (hexadecimal) data is written to the main RAM (IC 804) from the leading address (8000H) in order and read out to check whether the data has been properly written. (A “*” mark is indicated for every 256 bytes when OK.) If OK, a similar check is performed for the AAH (hexadecimal) data. (A “#” mark is indicated when ” OK”.) When an error arises, “NG!” will be immediately indicated (see below). Although 8000H – 80F FH and FF OOH – FFFFH are indicated with a “?” at all times, note that this is not an error.

Normal

(Kanji) font ROM (IC805) check When V is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen, the Kanji font ROM (1C805) check can be performed. The entire data of the (Kanji) font ROM is divided into eight sections from page 0 – 7. The checksum results of each page is displayed. When NG, perform the address data bus check (especially for CA12 – CAO). Use in conjunction with the F1 screen.

Extension 1/0 (IC802) terminal Low mode
When B is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen, the terminals assigned with the keyboard of the extension I/ 0 (IC802 will be set to the LOW level.

Direct command output mode to servo system (IC502, IC601)

When N is pressed from the F4 mode initial screen, direct command is sent to the servo (IC502) and CD digital signal processing (IC601) to enable manual control.

To facilitate input, A – H is changed to the A, B, …F keyboard arrangement in place of hexadecimal command input.

The commands up to the left side of the cursor will be output when the YES key is pressed. The actual data output will be displayed on the upper section. Commands on the left side of the cursor that are less than 1 byte will not be output. Correction via cursor movements and re-outputs are enabled since the data is still displayed on the command -side after the commands have been output.
