Precautions for Service Initialize the DVD player If microprocessor (IC401, IC405 or IC601) or servo board (ENS-001) is replaced, initialize the DVD player in the following manner: 1. Make sure that no disk is on the tray. 2. While pressing the ON SCREEN and DVD MENU keys simultaneously on the DVD player, turn on the primary power.
Disassembly Procedures 1. Removing the top cover 1) Remove the two screws 'A' on the rear and four screws 'B' on both sides which fix the top panel. 2) Remove the top cover. Figure 1 2. Removing the front panel 1) Remove the top cover.

Assembling the Loading Base 9. Assembling parts of the loading mechanism 1) According to Figure 10, assembly gears and belt in order. 10. Assembling the traverse unit 1) Take the flexible wire from the traverse unit out of the loading base. 2) With the top of the traverse unit inserted in the groove of the rotary cam, tighten the four bolts 'I'.
Adjustment Procedures (1) Items to be adjusted For this device, the following two items need to be adjusted: Item Adjusted part Content Reference VR-201 of ENS- Adjust the default for the RF signal equalizer to the current source 001 board center value to absorb deviation with ICs.

This key is disabled during the initialization of EEPROM. When this key command is accepted to open the tray, the initialization of EEPROM has already ended. With the test disc supplied from JVC (DEMO1004) on the tray, press the OPEN/CLOSE key to let the tray retreat. (Do not push the tray in.) Press the ON SCREEN key.

2. Power Supply Volume With all the wiring removed, check unit power board (ENS-002-4). (1) Remove all flat wires and wire assemblies which are connected to CN902 to CN906. (2) Short-circuit CN905‡G (POWER ON) and ‡F (B5V). (Set each regulator to ON.) (3) Short-circuit CN903‡D (A.GND) and ‡G (D.GND).

Focus balance coarse adjustment NG (This error rarely occurs.) Mechanical unit is defective. Although focusing is executed normally, blooming occurs if vibrated during coarse adjustment. Periphery of driver is defective. Due to cold soldered or short-circuited resistor, capacitor, etc., of the gain setting section, gain becomes too large, and blooming occurs when vibrated.
Page 63
(11) Focus loop gain adjustment NG This error occurs only when the gain cannot be adjusted in the specified range. Therefore, this error rarely occurs. Out-of-range gain due to using a low-sensitivity pickup or abnormality on the circuit tends to result in other errors.

(4) Others (unusual events experienced to date) Problem occurs with double-layer discs although no problem occurs with single-layer DVD. (Error occurs, or search becomes unstable and takes longer.) Crosstalk might occur from tracking to focus system. When FE was observed during search (skip, etc.), it was found that a wave resembling TE with an amplitude of 200mVp-p was riding on FE.
