2. Warnings and Laser safety instructions
SHOCK, FIRE HAZARD SERVICE TEST:
CAUTION: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to customer, measure the resistance between
either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the
face or Front Panel of product and controls and chassis bottom,
Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC
power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer.
Ref.UL Standard NO.1492.
NOTE ON SAFETY:
Symbol : Fire or electrical shock hazard. Only original parts should be used to replace any part with symbol
Any other component substitution(other than original type), may increase risk or fire or electrical shock hazard.
FATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semi-
conducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges
statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution
n’est prise a leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être
relié au même potentiel que la masse de
l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une
résistance de sécurité.
Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également a ce
potentiel.
DWARNUNG
Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegen elektrostatische
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur
kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern.
Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall
über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit
dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden
sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls
auf diesem Potential.
WAARSCHUWING
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie
kan de levensduur drastisch doen
verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della piu
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello
della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un
braccialetto a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli
utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a
questo potenziale.
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce
life drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the
mass of the set via a wrist wrap with
resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
WARNING
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition
and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke
toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de
gespecifieerde worden toegepast.
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten.
Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden.
Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.
Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle
condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli
specificati.
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et
que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.

doivent être utilisés par des
spécialistes agrées, seuls habilités à

Warning for powersupply on position 1005
The primary side of the powersupply including the heatsink carries live mains voltage when the
player is connected to the mains even when the player is swiched off !
This primary area is not shielded so it is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components when
servicing the player. Service personnel have to take precautions to prevent touching this area or
components in this area .
The primary side of the powersupply has been indicated with a lightning stroke and a stripe-marked

General Notes
¶Depending on yourTV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the player. Use only one of the connections described below.
¶Please refer to the manuals of yourTV,VCR, Stereo System
or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.
¶For better sound reproduction, connect the player’s audio
out jacks to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or A/V equipment. See ‘Connecting to Optional Equipment’. Caution: – Make sure the DVD player is connected directly to the TV. Set theTV to the correct video input channel. – Do not connect the player’s audio out jack to the phono in jack of your audio system. – Do not connect your DVD-player via yourVCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
Connecting to a TV
¶Make one of the following connections, depending on the
capabilities of your existing equipment.
1
Connect the SCART to the corresponding connector on theTV using the SCART cable supplied (Z). If yourTV is not equipped with a SCART you can select one of the following alterative connections: S-Video (Y/C) connection
1
Connect theY/C S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD player to the S-Video in jack on theTV using an optional S-Video cable (Y).
2
Connect the Left and Right AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD player to the audio left/right in jacks on theTV (A). CVBS connection

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):
