Diagnostic Software Descriptions And Troubleshooting
GB 20 DVD 615515.
5. Diagnostic Software Descriptions And Troubleshooting
5.1 Dealerscript
5.1.1 Purpose Of Dealer Script
The dealer script can give a diagnosis on a standalone DVD
player; no other equipment is needed to perform a number of
hardware tests to check if the DVD player is faulty. The
diagnosis is simply a "error" or "pass" message; no indication
is given of faulty hardware modules. Only tests within the
scope of the diagnostic software will be executed hence only
faults within this scope can be detected.
5.1.2 Contents Of Dealer Script
The dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that do not
need any user interaction and are meaningful on a
standalone DVD player.
The nuclei called in the dealer script are the following (the
number after each nucleus name corresponds with the
number being on the local display when the nucleus is
executed during the dealer script):

5.2 Player Script
5.2.1 Purpose Of Player Script
The Player script will give the opportunity to perform a test
that will determine which of the DVD player's modules are
faulty, to read the error log and error bits and to perform an
endurance loop test. To successfully perform the tests, the
DVD player must be connected to a tv set to check the output
of a number of nuclei. For DVDv2b a multi-channel amplifier,
a set of 6 boxes and an external video source are necessary
to test. To be able to check results of certain nuclei, the
player script expects some interaction of the user (i.e. to
approve a test picture or a test sound). Some nuclei (e.g.
nuclei that test functionality of the Basic Engine module)
require that the DVD player itself is opened, to enable the
user to observe moving parts and approve their movement
visually. Only tests within the scope of the diagnostic
software will be executed hence only faults within this scope
can be detected.
5.2.2 Contents Of Player Script
The player script contains all nuclei that are useful on a DVD
player that is connected to a tv-set and help to determine
which module of the DVD player is faulty, as well as to read
out the contents of the error logs.
5.2.3 Structure Of Player Script
The player script consists of a set of nuclei testing the three
hardware modules in the DVD player: the Display PWB, the
Digital PWB and the Basic Engine.
Nuclei run by the player test need some user interaction; in
the next paragraph this interaction is described. The player
test is done in two phases:
1. Interactive tests: this part of the player test depends
strongly on user interaction and input to determine
nucleus results and to progress through the full test.
Reading the error log and error bits information can be
useful to determine any errors that occurred recently
during normal operation of the DVD player.
2. The loop test will loop through the list of nuclei
indefinitely, till the NEXT key is pressed. The list of nuclei
is as follows:
• VideoColSetupComm
• VideoScartSwComm
• PapChksFlash
• PapI2cNvram
• CompSdramWrR
• PapS2bEcho
• PapI2cDisp
For DSW version 1.6 and above. the DSW version number
will be displayed on the local display. Press NEXT to
continue to the display test.
The display should look like the following:

5.3 Display PCB
5.3.1 Display Test
The display test is performed by nucleus DispDisplay. By
putting a series of test patterns on the local display, the local
display is tested. To step through all different patterns, the
user must either press PLAY (pattern is ok) or PAUSE
(pattern was incorrect) to proceed to the next pattern. The
display of patterns is continued in a cyclic manner until the
user presses NEXT. If the user presses NEXT before all
display patterns are tested, the DispDisplay nucleus will
return TRUE (display test successful).
5.3.2 LED Test
The LED(s) on the DVD player is (are) tested by nucleus
DispLed. The user must check if the LED(s) is (are) lighted;
ifitis,pressPLAY,ifitisnot,pressPAUSE.Bypressing
NEXT the script will proceed to the next test. If the user
presses NEXT before PLAY or PAUSE, the DispLed nucleus
will return TRUE (LED test successful).
Figure 5-5
5.3.3 Keyboard Test
The keyboard of the DVD player is tested by nucleus
DispKeyb. The user is expected to press all keys on the local
keyboard once. The code of the key pressed is shown on the
local display (1 hexadecimal digit) immediately followed by a
(hexadecimal) number indicating how many times that key
has been pressed. Example of the local display during this
test:
Figure 5-6
The key-codes displayed on the local display will scroll from
right to left when the display gets full, the text "tb-" will remain
on display.
Figure 5-7
If any keys are detected more than once (due to hardware
error), the key-code is displayed twice (or more), with the
second digit increased by 1.
If the user does not press all keys minimally once (in any
order), the DispKeys nucleus will return FALSE and cause an
error in the overall result of the player script.
The test will also pass if all buttons, except the microphone
key buttons, are pressed.
The user can leave the keyboard test by pressing the NEXT
key on the local display of the DVD player for at least one full
second.
The result of the keyboard test is shown on local display as
follows:
Figure 5-8
Or
Figure 5-9
Pressing NEXT on the local keyboard again will proceed to
the next text.
5.3.4 Remote Control Test
The remote control of the DVD player is tested by nucleus
DispRc. The user must press any key on the remote control
just once. The codes of the key pressed will be shown on the
local display in hexadecimal format. Example:

control test is successful if a code was received before the
user pressed the NEXT key; pressing the NEXT key before
pressing a key on the remote control gives an error in the
remote control test (note that the remote control test will also
fail if a key on the remote control was pressed but no code
was received). The remote control test does not check upon
the contents of the received code, that is it will not be
checked if the received code matches the key pressed. If
desired, the user can manually check this code by using a
code-table for the remote control key-codes.

PAUSE will indicate the picture was invisible or incorrect.
Pressing NEXT will proceed to the next test
5.4.2 Sound 1 & SCART DVD Test
The first soundtest is performed by starting a pink noise
sound that needs confirmation from the user (nucleus
AudioPinkNoiseOn); the display will show the following
message very shortly:
Figure 5-18
This sound will only be audible from version cut3.1 of
Sti5505(item7503 on mono board) onwards. After starting up
sound 1, SCART loop-trough will be simultaneously active
during this test. SCART loop-trough will be measured with
the aid of an external video source.
When entering the SCART loop-trough, the local display
indicates:
Figure 5-19
On the TV screen a colour bar (generated by nucleus
VideoColDencOn) is visual and the internally generated
pinknoise is audible. By pressing PLAY the user confirms the
test, pressing PAUSE will indicate the sound was inaudible or
incorrect. Pressing NEXT will proceed to the next test; if the
user presses NEXT without pressing PLAY or PAUSE first,
the result of this test will be TRUE (sound ok). By pressing
the NEXT button there will be switched over to the external
source, this must become now visible on the TV screen
(using the SCART). The local display indicates:
Figure 5-20
The internally generated colour bar is still available on the
CVBS and Y/C outputs. And the pinknoise-signal is still
available on the cinch audio outputs. By pressing the PREV
button, the internal generated colour bar becomes visual
again.
The test can be left by pressing the NEXT key for more than
one second.
5.4.3 Sound 2 Test
The second soundtest is performed by producing a sine
sound (nucleus AudioSineOn). The signal can be stopped by
pressing the STOP-key. The display will show the following
message:
Figure 5-21
By pressing PLAY the user confirms the test, pressing
PAUSE will indicate that something went wrong. Pressing
NEXT will proceed to the next; if the user presses NEXT
without pressing PLAY or PAUSE first, the result of this test
will be TRUE (sound ok).
5.4.4 Colour Setup Test
The colour setup test is performed by putting the internally
generated colour bar in different settings on the TV screen.
The first colour bar will be displayed in setting 1. the display
will show the following message:
Figure 5-22
By pressing the NEXT button, you can go to the second
setting. The local display indicates:

Figure 5-24
By pressing the NEXT key, the Basic Engine tests are
started.
5.5.2 Tray Test
First, the tray is tested. The purpose of this test is also to give
the user the opportunity to put a disc in the tray of the DVD
player. Some tests on the Basic Engine require that a
disc(e.g. DVD MPTD test disc) is present in the player. At the
end of the Basic Engine tests this tray test will be repeated
solely to enable the user to remove the disc in the tray. The
local display will look as follows:
Figure 5-25
By pressing PLAY or PAUSE the user can toggle the position
of the tray. Note that this test will not contribute to the test
result of the Basic Engine. Pressing NEXT will proceed to the
next test, after the tray has been closed (by the software) if it
was open.
5.5.3 Sledge Test (Visual Test)
The second Basic Engine test tests the sledge; the user can
move the sledge as many times as desired by using PLAY
(nucleus BeSledgeOut) and PAUSE (nucleus BeSledgeIn).
Pressing NEXT on the local keyboard proceeds to the next
test. Note that this test will not contribute to the test result of
the Basic Engine. The local display will look as follows during
the sledge test:
Figure 5-26
5.5.4 Disc Motor Test (Visual Test)
The third Basic Engine test tests the disc motor (nucleus
BeDiscMotorOn); the local display looks as follows:
Figure 5-27
By pressing PLAY the user confirms that the disc motor is
running; pressing PAUSE indicates the disc motor does not
work. Pressing NEXT proceeds to the next test, after a reset
of the disc motor (nucleus BeDiscMotorOff). If the user
presses NEXT before pressing PLAY or PAUSE, the result of
this test will be TRUE (disc motor is running).
5.5.5 Focus Test (Visual Test)
The fourth Basic Engine test tests the focussing; first
focussing is turned on by calling nucleus BeFocusOn. The
display will look as follows:
Figure 5-28
By pressing PLAY the user confirms that the focussing was
succesful; pressing PAUSE indicates a focussing failure.
Pressing NEXT proceeds to the next test after a reset of the
focussing (nucleus BeFocusOff); if NEXT is pressed before
PLAY or PAUSE, the result of this test will be TRUE (focus
successful).
5.5.6 Radial Test (Visual & Listening Test)
The fifth Basic Engine test tests the radial functionality
(nucleus BeRadialOn); the local display looks as follows:
Figure 5-29
By pressing PLAY the user confirms that the radial function
worked; pressing PAUSE indicates the function does not
work. Pressing NEXT proceeds to the next test, after a reset
of the radial (nucleus BeRadialOff). If the user presses NEXT
before pressing PLAY or PAUSE, the result of this test will be
TRUE (radial successful).
5.5.7 Jump Test (Listening Test)
The sixth and last Basic Engine test tests the jumping by
calling nuclei BeGroovesIn, BeGroovesMid and
BeGroovesOut. During this test, the local display looks as
follows:
Figure 5-30
The user can switch between the three different types of
groove settings by pressing PLAY (forward to next nucleus in
the list In-Mid-Out) or PAUSE (backward in the list In-Mid-
Out). This is done in a cyclic manner; note that this test will
not contribute to the test result of the Basic Engine. Pressing
NEXT proceeds to the next test, after the disc motor has
been shut off with a call to nucleus BeDiscMotorOff.

5.5.8 Tray Test
As a last action for the Basic Engine tests, the tray test is
repeated. The local display will look as follows:
Figure 5-31
This test is meant to give the user the opportunity to remove
the disc in the tray. The tray position can be toggled using the
PLAY and PAUSE key. The tray will be closed (by the
software, if it is open) before proceeding to the next test when
the user presses the NEXT key.
5.5.9 Error Log (See Table On Page 30)
Reading the error log and error bits information can be useful
to determine any errors that occurred recently during normal
operation of the DVD player. Reading the error log is done by
nucleus LogReadErr. The display during the errorlog readout
looks as follows :
Figure 5-32
By pressing PLAY or PAUSE the user can move forward or
backward (respectively) through the logged error codes. The
highlighted number indicates which errorcode is currently on
display (in the example above, errorcode number 4 is
displayed). If "0000" is displayed at all positions, the error log
is empty. Display of the logged errors is done in a cyclic
manner. The errorcode with the lowest highlighted number is
the most recent. By pressing NEXT on the local keyboard,
the user can proceed to the next test.
5.5.10 Error Bits (See Table On Page 30)
Reading the error bits is done by nucleus LogReadBits. The
display during the errorbits readout looks as follows:
Figure 5-33
Only the set errorbits will be shown by their (decimal)
number. Refer to the appropriate documentation for the
explanation of each bit number. If the display only shows
"EB-0", no error bits were set. By pressing NEXT the user
can continue to the next test.
5.6 Loop Test (See Table Below)
At the start of the loop test, the display will show the result of
the interactive player test:
Figure 5-34
The left side of the display contains a 3-digit code, which can
have a value between 000 and 111. These values are to be
interpreted as follows:
Figure 5-35
The loop test will perform the same nuclei as the dealer test,
but it will loop through the list of nuclei indefinitely. The
display of the DVD player will display not only the three digits
indicating correct/faulty modules and the last found error
code (as mentioned, faults are detected as far as they can be
within the scope of the diagnostic software), but also a loop
counter indicating how many times the loop has been gone
through. Example:
Figure 5-36
The number after the hyphen indicates the number of times
the loop test has been performed; the 4 digits at the right side
of the display show the last error that was found when
running the loop test: the leftmost two digits of this code
indicate which nucleus resulted in a fault; the rightmost two
digits refer to the faultcode within that nucleus. For further
explanation of this error code, see list of error codes below.
