Operation Check Mode; Display Of History Of Dsp Operations - Sony SDP-EP9ES Service Manual

3-2. Display of History of DSP Operations

• When "DSP error detected!" is displayed on the fluorescent dis-
play tube, the history of DSP errors will be displayed eight seconds
later. (See Fig. 1.)
• This history will be displayed if a DSP error has occurred in the
past. It helps the detection of malfunction parts by enabling past
problems of the unit to be checked.
• This history shows the "Cause of error" and "How many times
occurred" for the two DSPs. (See Fig. 1.)

How to read the display
• The left side shows the errors of the first DSP (DSP56009:MAIN
board IC424) and the right side shows the errors of the second DSP
(SSP424023:MAIN board IC423).
• The "How many times occurred" indicates the number of times
that the error has occurred. If an error has occurred more than 256
times, it will be displayed as 256.
• The 1 2 3 4 part shows 0 or 1 according to the cause of the
error. If an error has occurred, 1 will be displayed. If no error has
occurred, 0 will be displayed. (See Table-2.)

NOTE: This history is memorized in the EEPROM until the unit is
initialized. (Refer to "5. Initialization" on page 14.)

4. Operation Check Mode

• During the operation check mode, functions can be set by pressing
the corresponding button. (See Table-3.)
• Each time a button is pressed, the corresponding function will be
displayed for about 8 seconds.
• Buttons other than those displayed in Table-3 operate usually.
NOTE: Do not press the SET UP button during the operation check
mode. As this button is provided with a special function for
debugging, pressing it may impede the normal output of
signals in the sub-woofer mode.

By pressing the MENU knob and displaying "<<< LEVEL ADJUST >>>",
and rotating the +/– knob to the right, the input signal selected at that time
can be output to any Lch or Rch channel.
