DM-3090 TROUBLE SHOOTING When MD fails operate If the objective lens of optical pickup is contaminated, MD may fail to operate. At first, clean the objective lens to check playback operation. If MD fails persistently to operate, perform checks as follows.
Page 20
DM-3090 TROUBLE SHOOTING • Disc loading is not normal. Is disc loaded when it is inserted? Check CNP1601 and SW1956. Is the pin 4 of CNP1601 set to L state? Is change observed on the pin 23 or 24 of IC1601? Check IC1401.
Page 21
Check the assembly position of "lead-in switch (sw1953) • Audio playback circuit (Except DM-3090) When sound is not output although the playback time display advances during playback in the normal mode. Check the pins 70, 71, 72 and 74 of IC1201, and the pins Is audio output waveform observed on the pins 24 to 26 of 12, 16, 17, and 19 of IC1701.
Page 22
DM-3090 TROUBLE SHOOTING • Record and playback operation Insert the low reflection disc, and after verifying the audio output in the normal mode playback set the record/playback TEST mode Recording from start address cannot be performed. Check whether the disc is record-prohibited.
Page 23
DM-3090 TROUBLE SHOOTING • Disc motor fails to run Does waveform appear on the pins 24 and 25 of IC1201 in the Check soldering joint and parts of pins 24 and 25 of IC1201, and peripheral circuit. TEST mode focus gain coarse adjustment step?
