3. Spindle motor system check Does the unit try to start playing when the OPEN/CLOSE button is pressed without a disc loaded? 1. Can the spindle motor turn a little? The circuit of the spindle-motor driver is normal. (See the waveforms in Fig. 4.) Check the peripheries of Pin 114 of U901 and 2.
Page 14
[2] Operations with a USB memory device not possible "NO USB" is displayed. 1. Check power from U901 (SPHE8202RQ-D) and XP906. 2. Check the communication line between IC701 (CA6817) and U901 (SPHE8202RQ-D). [3] Data in a USB memory device cannot be played. Data in the USB memory device cannot be played even if the USB operation key is pressed.

[4] Operations with an iPod are not possible (only for the X-EM21V) The message "iPod" remains displayed on the LCD. 1. Check power from IC403 (IPOD+5V). 2. Check the iPod communication line between IC701 (CA6817) and CN601. Check of the iPod system Select the iPod function, by pressing the INPUT button on the main unit (iPod button on the remote control unit), then insert an iPod into the iPod dock to connect it with the DOCK connector.
