[ Content of test ]
Implements initial movement of the disc servo continuously. Implement the following process 20,000 cycles.
2-2. Jitter Measure / BLER Measure
[ Content of test ]
Measures the Jitter or the Block Error Rate (BLER) of the disc inserted.
Only Pass or NG will be displayed, not Measurement values.
All of CD, DVD, and BD can be judged.
[ Instructions ]
1
Select "[7] Enter SP Mode" with the bbutton from the Service Mode screen, and press the [ENTER] button.
2
The SP Mode window menu will be displayed, so select either "Jitter Measure" "BLER Measure," and press the

5
When test is completed, "Pass" or "NG" is displayed.
[ Effective indications ]
Defect related to playback (blocked noise, sound jumping, image jumping, disc is paused, freeze of screen etc.)
If an NG is generated in a specific disc only, the defect is likely to be caused by the disc. If an NG is generated in
other discs too, the defect is likely to be caused by the drive part.
However, even if Pass is displayed after this test, it is difficult to determine that the Driver is normal with these Pass
judgments only.
• Tray Close →• Foucus ON →• TOC Read →• Tray Open

3. [8] PDXY Check
For PDXY Check, the misalignment of pick-up optical axis can be checked.
The optical axis misalignments of X-axis and Y-axis are displayed "PDX" and "PDY" with %, respectively.
All of CD, DVD, and BD can be measured.
The method for calculating PDX and PDY is shown below.
[ Instructions ]
1Insert a disc (BD, DVD, CD) in a nomal mode. If the playback starts, pause it.
Display the home menu and enter into the Service Mode.
In this mode, the measurement can be carried out at an arbitrary place. After a disc is inserted, play and stop the
point you want to measure, and then enter into the Service Mode.
(The pickup position does not return even in this status. The measurement at the place is available.)
2Select "[8] PDXY Check" with the bbutton from the Service Mode screen, and press the [ENTER] button.
3After the measurement is started and completed, the measurement value is displayed. If the value is within the
reference value, "Pass" is displayed.
4Quit Service mode by pressing the [STOP] button. (The home menu screen will be displayed.)
Note:
If you open the tray in this state then attempt to play a disc, the "Close" indication is displayed on the FL display and
playback will not start. To correct such a situation, turn the unit OFF then back ON again.
[Effective indications]
Defect related to playback (block noise, sound jumping, image jumping, disc is paused, freeze of screen etc.)
If an NG is generated in a specific disc only, the defect is likely to be caused by the disc. If an NG is generated in other
discs too, the defect is likely to be caused by the pickup part. If the measurement value is very close to 40% even if an NG
is not generated, the NG is likely to be caused by the disc.
PDX = ((A+B)-(C+D)) / (A+B+C+D)
PDY = ((A+D)-(B+C)) / (A+B+C+D)

4. [9] Error Rate Test
[ Content of Test ]
With the Error Rate Test, the error rate for a DVD or BD disc can be measured.
However, for a dual-layer (DL) disc, the error rate for the second layer cannot be measured. For measurement of the error
rate of the second layer, use the necessary tools and application, referring to SKT13001B Service Knowhow manual.
[ Instructions ]
1On the Service mode screen, select "[9] Error Rate Test," using the bbutton, then press the [ENTER] button.
2The tray will automatically open then the Error Rate Measurement screen will be displayed. Place a disc whose error
rate is to be measured on the tray then manually push the tray in. (The [Close] button will not work.)
3Measurement of the error rate will start.
4After error-rate measurement is finished for the outermost track, measurement will be stopped then the tray will
automatically open.
(For a DL disc, measurement will be stopped after that for the outermost track of the first layer is finished then the tray
will automatically open.)
Note:
In Error Rate Measurement mode, if the AC power cord is unplugged with the tray open, the Error Rate Test will
automatically start and the normal operation screen will not be displayed after the AC power cord is plugged again and the
unit is turned ON.
In such a case, close the tray manually then press the [STOP] button to quit Error Rate Measurement mode.
(If the [STOP] button is pressed first, close the tray manually afterward to return to the Menu screen.)
5Quit Service mode by pressing the [STOP] button.
(1) Physical address of the disc
(2) Error rate of the disc
The indication "x.xE-X" denotes the error rate.

[ Effective indications ]
Failure in the playback system (block noise, interrupted sound, jumpiness of images, playback stopped in mid-course,
frozen image, etc.)
Failure judgment of the pickup, by comparing the error rates before and after cleaning of the lens
Notes:
1. Even if the values surpass 1.0 x 10
-3
immediately after measurement starts, if they fall to be around the reference level
several tens of seconds after, the pickup is probably OK.
2. Even with a normal pickup, the values may surpass 1.0 x 10
-3
during short-time measurement (around 30 seconds),
depending on the disc to be measured.
3. In rare cases, "0.0E-0" may be displayed for a moment. This is not a problem of the pickup.
4. If the measured error rates of a particular disc frequently surpass the reference value, that disc may have a problem.
Compare the error-rate values of such a disc with those of another disc without any scratches or dirt for judgment.
The examples of measured error rates when a test disc (GGV1368) is used are shown in the table below.
(As there are more than a few variations in values across discs or BD players used, the results measured using the
GGV1368 will not be completely the same. Use these values just for reference.)
For error-rate measurement of an entire DL disc (including that of the second layer), it is recommended to measure the
error rate using a PC.
When a PC is used for measurement, measured error-rate values will be graphed, which makes this method suitable for
error-rate measurement of an entire DL disc.
(For details on measurement, refer to the SKH14001 manual.)

4. EACH SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT
4.1 NECESSARY ITEMS FOR ADJUSTMENTS
[How to read and write the barcode data to the unit]
In addition to the two conventional methods of reading/writing barcode data, a new method using a USB memory device has been added.
It is recommended to use the new method if you have a USB memory device, because with this method setting is easier and input errors
will be less likely to be generated.
For details on the conventional methods (with the aid of the remote control unit or a combination of a PC and a special tool for servicing),
refer to the Service Manual of the BDP-160. (No change has been made regarding the procedures of those conventional methods and
connector placement.)
Please perform either method when replacing MAIN BOARD Assy or LOADER Assy.
USB memory device (one that can be
recognized in Normal Operation mode)
3 It is easy to read and write the barcode data. It is necessary to prepare a USB memory device.
Note:
• Change the Destination setting after MAIN BOARD Assy is replaced. After that, update the latest firmware.
• Please confirm that the USB memory device is recognized after inserting the USB memory device to the USB port.
(Due to protect wrong connection)
Note: Be sure to update the firmware before starting adjustments or settings.

[About barcode data for pickup adjustment]
A new LOADER Assy is installed in this model and it has 64 bit barcode data for pickup adjustment.
