Filter circuit eliminates high frequency components of analog video signals output from video encoder. Afterwards in S2 processor circuit DC voltage is superposed on C signals then output 3 types of video signals: composite video signals, Y/C(S2) video signals and YP /RGB to RJK substrate via 17P connector (PG2201).

D/A CONVERTER (DAC)SECTOR Constituted of 10bit DAC, it transforms DIGITAL VIDEO DATA to ANALOG VIDEO DATA for output. Under control of output voltage by DAC pins (22, 23, 36, 37, 38 pins), it output 3 kinds of ANALOG VIDEO SIGNALS: ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO SIGNALS (CVBS/35 pin), output voltage 1.0Vpp.
VIDEO OUTPUT CIRCUIT (RJK substrate) Analog composite video signals (CVBS), analog intensity signals (Y), analog chroma signals (C) and analog component signals (YP are sent from DEC substrate to RJK substrate by passing through 17P R/RGB) connector (PG2201~CN1302). From RJK substrate, CVBS signals are output from output terminal J1307 and Y/C signals are output from output terminal J1302.

Audio signals after low pass filter is amplified by IC1510 by about 6dB and output to audio out1 and audio out2. Here, among audio signals, FL signals are input at pin 3 of IC1508 and output from pin 1, then input to pin 2 of IC1510 then output from pin 1.

KARAOKE CIRCUIT (Only available at DVD-5500/DVD-5300 models) When mic is connected to the mic input terminal, ”KARAOKE” will be lighted on FL tube and mode will be changed to Karaoke mode. Therefore, karaoke functions of keycon and vocal cancel may be used. When mic is disconnected, karaoke mode is ‘OFF’.
FRONT (FSW) SUBSTRATE CIRCUIT FL MICOM (IC1701) It performs communications with SH MICOM ( pins 6, 7, 10 ~ 13, 15, 25 ), including the main frame key and remote control operation, FL tube (IC1702) drive, and lighting of power indicator. In addition, it works also in standby mode.
Pulling the plug from the wall socket eliminates a short circuit and plugging in again restores the normal state. When A-8V or A-20V output is short circuited, fuse F2 will open to protect circuit. When AC4.2V output is short circuited, fuse F3 will open to protect the circuit. When this and A5V are short circuited, fuse resistance R26 and R27 will open to protect the circuit.

Chapter 2 Removal and Replacement Prelimaries before disassembling machines This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the DVD system for maintenance and troubleshooting. To disassemble the system, you need the following tools: Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge Phillips screwdriver Tweezers NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size.
Disassembly Procedure Flowchart The flowchart on the succeeding page gives you a graphic representation of the entire disassembly sequence and instructs you on the components that need to be removed during servicing. For example, if you want to remove the DVD-ROM drive, you must first remove the top cover, then disassemble the inside assembly frame in that order.
Disassembly Procedures Removing the Top Cover Remove the two screws from each side of the machine and the three screws from the rear side. Gently pull out the top cover from both sides of the machine. Slide out the top cover lightly until it clicks to let it out from the front panel. Then, lift it up and move away from the machine.
Removing the Front Panel Disconnect the three cables from the MPEG control board. Disconnect the cable and remove the two screws from the power supply board. Turn the machine over, then remove the screw from the bottom of the front panel. Use a screwdriver into the emergency eject hole to release the screw by clockwise direction from bottom of the machine, and the DVD-ROM tray will eject gently.
Detach the latches from both sides of the front panel and the bottom side of the machine. Gently pull out the front panel. Removing the MPEG Control Board Disconnect the four cables and remove the four screws from the MPEG control board as shown below. Remove the MPEG control board..
Removing the Power Supply Board Disconnect the two cables and remove the screw from the power supply board. Then, remove the two screws of the power socket on the rear panel of the machine. Slightly lift up and take away the power supply board. Removing the DVD-ROM Drive Remove the two screws from each side of the DVD-ROM drive, then remove the DVD-ROM drive.
To remove the kitting part, remove the four screws from the top of the DVD-ROM drive. Remove the four screws of the DVD-ROM drive to detach the DVD-ROM shield and the two EMI shields from the bottom of the DVD-ROM drive. Removing the Outlet Board Disconnect the two cables and remove the four screws from the outlet board.
Removing the Front Panel Control Boards Remove the eight screws from the front panel control board (FSW board). Remove the seven screws from the microphone volume control board (MVR board). * Only available at DVD-5500/DVD-5300 models. Use your finger to detach the video speed control knob as shown below. Use your finger to detach the cap of the volume adjuster as shown below.
