I have a Yamaha CDX-590 CD player and it skips on some CDs — original CDs, these CDs play without problems on my other CD players.
I have changed the laser unit (KSS-210A) but this didn’t solve the problem.
When I turn the player upside down, it plays the problematic CDs without a problem.
That’s why I think the laser needs adjustment.
I have only a service manual for the CDX-493/593 but they should be very similar to the CDX-590.
It seems that the adjustments are done via «test mode» of the CDX-590, unfortunately there is not much information, how to exactly, in the service manual.
Here is a picture of the PCB.
http://www.volny.cz/hwtest/PCB.JPG
Here are the «test mode» sections of the service manual.
http://www.volny.cz/hwtest/TM1.GIF
http://www.volny.cz/hwtest/TM2.GIF

In «test mode» I have tried Auto adjustment mode 1, 2, 3, but I don’t know if it should work fully automatic without any intervention or when the mode is fineshed and I can proceed to the next one.
So I activated mode 1, waited a while, activated mode 2, waited a while, activated mode 3, then exited test mode.
It didn’t help.

Mode 1 — only a short blink of two horizontal dashes on the display and thats it
Mode 2 — started «play» without sound from a strange time 99:00 (the test CD is not so long), after a while it skips to another time, «plays» a while, then skips back and «plays» and so on, I left it about an hour and it was still going on
Mode 3 — seems to be very short as mode 1

I think I’m missing something …

Maybe someone did this or even serviced Yamahas in an official service and can provide information how to adjust the laser?
Or maybe the problem is not the laser?

Sziasztok 
A címben említett típusú erősítő 1 sec után visszatér STAND-BY-ba.
A DIAG mode megy, és ezt a hibát dobja : PS PRT 21 C

Az biztos, hogy úgy lett bekapcsolva, hogy az impedancia választó középen volt (kölcsön volt adva). Átállítottam normál-ba (8Ohm), de nem változott semmi.
Szerintetek végfok lehet a gond ? Ahogy nézem a 21-es érték rossz, mert 28-43-ig kellene lennie.
Előre is köszönöm

Tisztelt Kollégák!
Napokban hozzám került egy cd hibás Yamaha CRX-M5 hifi torony. A hibajelenség az volt, hogy nem olvasta be a lemezeket, csak forgatta azokat.
Mérések, tesztek alapján a lemezforgató és a fej mozgató motor is hibás volt. Kicseréltem mindkettőt. Optikát megtisztítottam.
3 tálcás cd játszóval rendelkezik a készülék. Érdekesség, hogy ezek után csak az egyik tálcából volt hajlandó beolvasni a lemezt. Többször próbáltam állítani a lemeztányér magasságát. Azt eredményezte, hogy mindig másik tálcáról tudta beolvasni a lemezt, pedig az egész mechanika együtt mozog, amikor tálcát választ a hifi.
Nehezen sikerült beállítanom, most mindegyik tálcáról beolvas, viszont nem mindig olvas be elsőre és ha léptetek a zeneszámok között nem mindig találja meg a track-et (vagy csak nehezen).
Ha beolvasta a lemezt és nem léptetem, akkor szépen végig lejátssza a lemezt.
Észrevettem még azt, hogy a fej mozgató motor folyamatosan oda-vissza forog lejátszás közben. De nem nagy fordulatokat tesz, inkább olyan mintha remegne.
A motorvezérlő IC tápját biztosító tranzisztor elég rendesen melegszik. Motorvezérlő IC-t cseréltem. Rendeltem bele egy új lézer fejet is, de azzal be sem olvasott, akármit csináltam vele.

Ha van ötlete, tanácsa valakinek, azt szívesen fogadnám!

Sziasztok!Fent említett erősítő,még várakozás,hideg indítás,bármilyen praktikára sem hajlandó bekapcsolni.Még nem érkezett meg hozzám,de korábban még elindult egy-kétszer,de most már abszolút nem csinál semmit.Olvasgattam itt mások eseteit,itt is kondi lesz valószínű,vagy még mást is tönkre vághatott?Csak az érdekelne,hogy elérhető-e hozzá minden olyan alkatrész amit esetleg cserélni kell.Válaszaitokat,segítségetek előre is köszönöm!Üdv Sakee.

  • Page 88: Glossary

    GLOSSARY Audio information Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (front L/R and center), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (Low Frequency Effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel).

  • Page 89: Video Information

    LFE 0.1 channel This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The frequency range of this channel is from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low-frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

PREPARATION

English

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R

*

speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and

multi-channel audio sources.

*

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union).

Front speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus

effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the

same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,

however, are obtained with the full system. Place the

center speaker centrally between the front speakers and as

close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or

under it.

Surround speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back speaker (SB)

The surround back speaker supplements the surround

speakers and provides more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place this speaker directly behind the listening

position and at the same height as the surround speakers.

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as

the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer

System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass

frequencies from any or all channels, but also for hi-fi

stereo reproduction of the LFE (low-frequency effect)

channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. The

position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low

bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to

place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it

slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall

reflections.

CONNECTIONS

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,

no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be

unnatural and lack bass.

Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is in the standby mode (see page 25).

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this

unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the

monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

If you are to use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set “SP IMP.” to “6MIN” before using this unit

(see page 24).

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a

stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the

plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

The low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” (or “SMALL”) to “NONE” in “SPEAKER SET” (see pages 70 and 71) are

directed to the speakers selected in “BASS OUT” (see page 71).

Change all of the batteries if you notice a decrease in the

operation range of the remote control.

Do not use an old battery together with a new one.

Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and

manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as

these different types of batteries may have the same shape and

color.

If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid

touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with

clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before

installing new batteries.

Do not throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose

of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

If the remote control is without batteries for more than

2 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote

control, the contents of the memory may be cleared. When the

memory is cleared, insert new batteries, set up the remote

control code and program any acquired functions that may have

been cleared.

PREPARATION

English

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R

*

speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and

multi-channel audio sources.

*

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union).

Front speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus

effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the

same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,

however, are obtained with the full system. Place the

center speaker centrally between the front speakers and as

close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or

under it.

Surround speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back speaker (SB)

The surround back speaker supplements the surround

speakers and provides more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place this speaker directly behind the listening

position and at the same height as the surround speakers.

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as

the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer

System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass

frequencies from any or all channels, but also for hi-fi

stereo reproduction of the LFE (low-frequency effect)

channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. The

position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low

bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to

place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it

slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall

reflections.

CONNECTIONS

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,

no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be

unnatural and lack bass.

Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is in the standby mode (see page 25).

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this

unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the

monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

If you are to use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set “SP IMP.” to “6MIN” before using this unit

(see page 24).

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a

stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the

plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

The low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” (or “SMALL”) to “NONE” in “SPEAKER SET” (see pages 70 and 71) are

directed to the speakers selected in “BASS OUT” (see page 71).

Audio jacks

This unit has four types of audio jacks. Connection

depends on the availability of audio jacks on your other

components.

AUDIO jacks

For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left

and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the

right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.

PORTABLE jack

For analog audio signals transmitted via stereo analog

audio mini cables.

DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL jacks

For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital

audio cables.

DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jacks

For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital

audio cables.

You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and

DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the

COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the signals

input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are

compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the

fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not

using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This

cap protects the jack from dust.

Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection

depends on the availability of input jacks on your video

monitor.

VIDEO jacks

For conventional composite video signals transmitted via

composite video cables.

S VIDEO jacks

For S-video signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and

chrominance (C) video signals transmitted on separate

wires of S-video cables.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component video signals, separated into the

luminance (Y) and chrominance (P

B, PR) video signals

transmitted on separate wires of component video cables.
