Self-Diagnostic; General; Test Mode Setting; Operation In Test Mode Setting - Sony MZ-R37 Service Manual

2-1. GENERAL

This set uses the self-diagnostic system in which if an error occurs
in playback/recording mode, the error is detected by the model
control and power control blocks of the microprocessor and infor-
mation 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.

There are two different methods to set the test mode:
1 Short BP801 (TEST) on the main board with a solder bridge
(connect pin @§ of IC801 to the ground). Then, turn on the
power.
