Coaxial Digital Output Connect this jack to the coaxial digital input of an external digital-to-analog converter for direct access to the digital signals of the FL8550. DO NOT connect this jack to the standard audio inputs of any device. Remote Control Input Connect the output of a remote infrared sensor or the remote control output of another compatible Harman Kardon product.
Intro Button: Press this button to put the FL8550 into the Intro Scan mode. When you press this button, the unit will play the first 10 seconds of each track on the disc, and then move to the next track. Press the button again to defeat the function and continue full play of the current track.
• Isolate the unit from vibration by placing it on a firm surface or move it further away from speakers. Sound is continually distorted • Incorrect input • Make certain that the FL8550 is connected to a line- level audio input, NOT a digital audio or phono input.
D2 is insufficient, D2 will not saturate and the display will read “No disc”. In the event you receive an FL8350 or FL8550 with the complaint: Display reads “No disc” but a disc is in the tray, perform the modification as listed below: 1) Lay the unit on a padded surface.
Models: FL8350/FL8550 Subject: Carousel does not stop In the event you receive an FL8350 or FL8550 with the complaint: “The carousel does not stop at a given disc position, …or passes disc positions intermittently”, perform the modification listed below: 1) Lay the unit on a padded surface.
TECH TIPS Troubleshooting tips and solutions to common service problems For models: FL8350/FL8550/FL8380 TIP# HKTT2003-06 Complaint: Unit Will Not Play or Recognize a Disc, “Skipping”. Possible Problem: Misalignment of the top cover and rear panel. To test, attempt to play the unit with the top cover OFF. If symptoms persist, troubleshoot further. If the unit will play with the cover OFF, the problem is caused by a misalignment of the top cover and the rear panel.

FL8550 Circuit Description 1. RF AMP BLOCK The KA9220 is designed for 3-spot type optical pick-up assembly. The photo detector is composed of 6 light sensor (A through F). The photo detector A, B, C and D detect audio modulation signal on the disc and generate focus error signal.
Page 28
FL8550 2. TRACKING ERROR AMPLIFIER The output of photo detector F is directed to the (-) Input of F I – V AMP and out of photo detector E is directed to the (-) input of E I – V AMP.
Page 29
FL8550 3. FOCUS ERROR AMPLIFIER The focus error amp is the difference between RF I – V AMP (1) output V and RF I – V AMP (2) output . This two (V ) signals are each applied to the (-) and (+) input of focus error amp. As the result of differential voltage, Focus error signal is appeared at FE1 Pin (Pin57).
Page 30
FL8550 5. MIRROR CIRCUIT After RF input signal is amplified by Mirror amp, it is held in Bottom and Peak hold circuit. Such a hold is determined by the time constant. Envelope signal A (demodulated to DC) is two-thirds of the peak value of this signal.
Page 31
FL8550 The bottom hold has had two time constant of long and short, after than the RFI signal inverted. The short time constant of bottom hold is generated shorter than 0.1m sec of disc mirror defect, and long time constant is generated by previous mirror level. Mirror defect detection signals are generated by differentiation on Capacitor Coupling, and then transfer level.
FL8550 SERVO BLOCK 1. FOCUS SERVO When the defect signal is detected, the focus servo Loop is isolated. At this time, the focus servo error output is outputted through low pass filter formed by connecting a capacitor (0.1µF) between the built-in 470KΩ...
Page 33
FL8550 While the focus search is operating, the FS4 switch is ON and then focus error signal is isolated, accordingly it is outputted by FSEO Pin (Pin48). When the FS2 switch is ON, the focus servo Loop is on and then focus error is outputted through the focus servo Loop.

FL8550 3. SPINDLE SERVO AND LOW PASS FILTER The 0.033nF and 20KΩ connected to SMEF (Pin 25) form the 200Hz low Pass filter. And the carrier component of spindle servo error signals is eliminated. In the CLV – S mode, SMEF becomes L and...
