Self-Diagnosis Display Mode - Sony MZ-R70 Service Manual

4-6. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY MODE

This set uses the self-diagnosis system in which if an error oc-
curs in recording/playback mode, the error is detected by the
model control and power control blocks of the microprocessor
and information on the cause is stored as history in EEPROM.
By viewing this history in test mode, it helps you to analyze a
fault and determine its location.
Total recording time has been recorded as optical pick-up using
time, and it is compared with the total recording time in the
self-diagnosis display mode to find when an error occurred.
Clear both total recording time and the time in self-diagnosis
display mode, when the optical pick-up was replaced.
