System Check; Error Displays; Troubleshooting - Clarion VRX925VD Service Manual

Do not reuse removed chips even when no abnormality
is observed in their appearance. Always replace them
with new ones. (The chip parts include resistors, capaci-
tors, diodes, transistors, etc). The negative pole of tanta-
lum capacitors is highly susceptible to heat, so use spe-
cial care when replacing them and check the operation
afterwards.
6. Cautions in handling flexible PWB
Before working with a soldering iron, make sure that the
iron tip temperature is around 270 . Take care not to
apply the iron tip repeatedly(more than three times)to the
same patterns. Also take care not to apply the tip with
force.
7. Turn the unit OFF during disassembly and parts replace-
ment. Recheck all work before you apply power to the
unit.
8. Cautions in checking that the optical pickup lights up.
The laser is focused on the disc reflection surface through
the lens of the optical pickup. When checking that the
laser optical diode lights up, keep your eyes more than
30cms away from the lens. Prolonged viewing of the la-
ser within 30cms may damage your eyesight.

SYSTEM CHECK

* The confirmation of connected equipment must be per-
formed for this unit only when the wiring connection is
complete and power is turned on to the unit first.When
the power is supplied,"PUSH PWR" appear in the

ERROR DISPLAYS

If an error occurs,one of the following displays is displayed.Take the measures described below to eliminate the problem.
Error display Cause
DVD ERROR 2 A DVD is caught inside the DVD deck and is not ejected.
player ERROR 3 A DVD cannot be played due to scratches,etc.
ERROR 6 A DVD is loaded upside-down inside the DVD deck and
does not play.
CD ERROR 2 A CD inside the CD changer is not loaded.
changer ERROR 3 A CD inside the CD changer cannot be played due to
scratches,etc.
ERROR 6 A CD inside the CD changer cannot be played because
it is loaded upside-down.
MD ERROR H Displayed when the temperature in the MD changer is
changer too high and playback has been stopped automatically.
EEROR 2 An MD inside the MD changer is not loaded.
ERROR 3 An MD inside the MD changer cannot be played due to
scratches,etc.
ERROR 6 An MD inside the MD changer cannot be played because
it is loaded upside-down.
Displayed when a non-recorded MD is loaded in the MD
changer.
Note:If an error display other than the ones described above appears, press the reset button.
* When the reset button is pressed,frequencies of TV/radio stations,titles,etc. stored in memory are cleared.

9. Cautions in handling the optical pickup
The laser diode of the optical pickup can be damaged by
electrostatic charge caused by your clothes and body.
Make sure to avoid electrostatic charges on your clothes
or body, or discharge static electricity before handling the
optical pickup.
9-1. Laser diode
The laser diode terminals are shorted for transpor-
tation in order to prevent electrostatic damage.
After replacement, open the shorted circuit. When
removing the pickup from the mechanism, short
the terminals by soldering them to prevent this
damage.
9-2. Actuator
The actuator has a powerful magnetic circuit. If a
magnetic material is put close to it. Its characteris-
tics will change. Ensure that no foreign substances
enter through the ventilation slots in the cover.
9-3. Cleaning the lens
Dust on the optical lens affects performance. To
clean the lens, apply a small amount of isopropyl
alcohol to lens paper and wipe the lens gently.
