Use a DVD-RAM disc or card when recording photos. *1: the DVD video recording format defines the maximum number of entry points as 999: Since one entry point is allocated to one scene, the maximum number of scenes recordable on disc with VDR-M70PP/ M50PP is 999. *2: If recording is continued without editing, one scene will comprise one cell for each entry point. When scenes are combined, only the number of entry points will decrease (only the entry point is deleted); the number of cells will not decrease. Assume, for example, that the number of cells before scenes are combined is 999, which is the upper limit defined by the DVD video recording format. If a scene comprising one cell is divided at two points and the scene between the divided scenes needs to be deleted, the cell must be further divided in order to delete. However, since the number of cells has reached the upper limit in this case, the cell cannot be divided and the scene cannot be deleted.

Restriction: The information included in this section is exclusively for service personnel. Do not disclose it to persons other than service engineers. The VDR-M70PP/M50PP is equipped with a self-diagnosis function: If it detects a problem when power is turned on or during operation, it will display a message, replace the content of problem with an error code (4-digit alphanumeric characters), and then store it in flash memory.

File name 4_22a.pdf

There are two types of message displayed when the self-diagnosis function detects problems: messages for minor problems, and messages for serious problems. Information: The messages of self-diagnosis function will be displayed until the power switch is set to "POWER OFF" or the disc is removed, regardless of whether there is a minor or serious problem. (1) Messages for minor problems These messages appear when troubleshooting is likely possible for the problem detected when power was turned on, following the procedure below. Procedure when message shown in Fig. 4-5-1 appears: Set the power switch to "POWER OFF", reconnect the AC adapter/charger or battery, and then set the power switch to "VIDEO" or "PHOTO (disc)". Procedure when message shown in Fig. 4-5-2 appears: Set the power switch to "POWER OFF", press the DISC EJECT button, and then reinsert the disc. After that, set the power switch to "VIDEO" or "PHOTO (disc)". If the problem is handled by the procedure shown above, servicing is not necessary in almost all cases. However, if the VDR-M70PP/M50PP cannot be restored from the problem or the same problem recurs, appropriate servicing will be required. The information on minor problems will be stored in flash memory as error codes (4-digit alphanumeric characters), whether or not the VDR-M70PP/M50PP is restored from the problems.

Interpreting the trouble diagnosis table: 1) Search for the defective symptom. If there are multiple check points or multiple details of check for one symptom, check the items from the top down. 2) Set the VDR-M70PP/M50PP to a service position that matches the symptom. There are four service positions (A)-(D) for VDR-M70PP/M50PP. Set to the appropriate service position, referring to "Disassembly/reassembly to enable service position". If only dashes -- are entered in the service position column, trouble diagnosis is possible without disassembling the VDR-M70PP/M50PP. 3) Connect the measurement terminals to the check points, and collate the results with the details of check. Letters in brackets [ ] that follow the check points show the name and side of circuit board. Example: [MAN-A] shows that the check point exists on side A of MAN-H/MAN circuit board. Information: The MAN-H/MAN or AEL-H/AEL circuit board has some check points to which no terminals of test equipment can be directly connected even when the VDR-M70PP/M50PP is set to a service position. Solder a lead wire of approx. 10 cm to such check points, referring to "Disassembly/reassembly to enable service position" and "circuit board diagrams". When trouble diagnosis is complete, be sure to remove the lead wire. 4) Perform troubleshooting according to the check results, referring to the troubleshooting columns.

The reference data is necessary for adjustment: The adjustment program will not operate normally without it. Before adjustment, be sure to create the reference data, using the same model (with normal camera block) as the one to be adjusted. See section 6-1-1 and subsequent sections for details. Information: 1) The reference data is used to reduce the difference between environments of servicing site and factory (color temperature of light box, etc.). Using the reference data will increase adjustment accuracy. 2) The reference data is usually created once for each model because it is recorded on hard disk drive (HDD) of PC with the adjustment program. However, creating reference data again is necessary in the following cases: a) When performing adjustment using a light box that is different from that used when the reference data was created. b) When performing maintenance of the light box used when creating the reference data (replacing light, etc.). c) When performing adjustment using a C12 light balancing filter that is different from that used when the reference data was created. d) When deleting the folder containing the adjustment program from HDD.
