4-2-2 AMP Pre-Inspection relating to Power Protection

If you think, there are problems at the AMP PART, you can check the PCB without disassemble the set.
(Caution!!: Do not connect the power cord during bellow check!)

4-3 MICOM, MPEG Initialization & Update

 Micom Reset
During STANDBY mode, push the “STOP” button 5 Second. If VFD blinking, reset is finished.

 Micom Update (Only for Flash Micom)

Method 1) MAIN PCB UTCN1 for update JIG.
To update Micom, it need Computer, Rom Writer, USB Cables.

Method 2) Insert USB Memory, and play.

“Update” will be displayed. Set will be power off when finish.

 Micom & MPEG Version Check

1. Power On.

2. In VSB Function. “NO USB” status.

3. Push the number NEXT for 5 seconds, check the Micom version.

4. Push the number PREVIOUS for 5 seconds, check the MPEG version.

 MPEG Update Method

1. Prepare Rom file at USB Memory.

2. Insert USB Memory, and play. “Update” will be displayed and glisten. Set will be power off → on.

3. The disc is automatically ejected. (If you use USB memory, detach USB memory.)

 MPEG Reset
1. During “No Disc” displayed, push the stop button 5 seconds. After displayed “INITIALIZE” set will power off
automatically.

4-4 Buyer-Region Code Setting Method

4-4-1 The inserting method of Region Code after replacing the Main PBA

[Reference]
- When replacing the Main PBA and System Micom should be inserted the region code.
- The set is not working properly if you don't insert the region code.
- The region code is inserted by the remote control.

1. Press the “AUX” button on the remote control.

2. Press the “ANGLE” button on the remote control during 4~5

seconds.

3. After step (2), you can see “TEST − −” on the VFD.

Insert number “33”, “33” to select Region Code.
TEST − −

4. After step (3), you can see “− −” on the VFD.

Insert the Region Code corresponding model with
“0 ~ 9” buttons on the remote control. −−

5. Turn the Power off.
